Kevin Grant
Kev is away on holidays in Tasmania for a couple of weeks so in his place I’ve
inserted a short piece from that other famous Grant, David. (Chris, Editor)
From the Dating Officers:
The last twelve months has passed quickly and in that time we have inspected
approximately 30 club members’ vehicles and written certificates for club
registration. I would like to personally thank Charlie Duckett, Bob Parsons and
Robert Taylor for their cooperation in helping the club members with these
inspections. I’d like to wish all members a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
Good health and safe travelling, David A Grant (Dating Officer)
New Members: Mears (#481), Egan (#482) & Germain (#483). All single
memberships to be voted on at the next General Meeting.
Vale Beryl Jensen
The Sunshine Coast Antique Car Club was
formed in 1963 to foster preservation of our
motoring heritage by providing an avenue for
sharing of information by the owners of veteran and vintage cars (prior to 1/1/1919 and
1/1/1931 respectively) and the encouragement
of their restoration and preservation. They
also intended to educate and interest the
general public by displays, rallies, etc.
Generally, our members come from those owning such over 30 years old but owning one is
not a mandatory requirement. Our veteran
and vintage vehicles remain our “respected citizens” due to their historic significance. Rallies are designed to allow for their limitations.
Our Rally Director tries to incorporate suitable variations in rallies which will cater for all
our vehicles. S.C.A.C.C.
Today we welcome all people interested in
preservation and restoration of our motoring
and machinery history.

Phil Tucker
Thanks to all those members who helped out whilst Deb and I were away. It’s
good to know that we have a club that has as many helpers as this one.
Our President’s Dinner was a good night with a few surprises from local Councilor
Greg Rogerson regarding our club.
Not long now until the AGM so start thinking about your contribution to the Club.
Next after that is Xmas.
Enjoy the rallies for the rest of the year.
Happy traveling,
Phil
Chris Anstey
Only a few weeks until Christmas - where did that year go. As usual, the Christmas party will be held at the Little Trains in Florence Street in Nambour on Sunday December 7th. If you are coming please let Karen Ryan know or put your
name on the list at the next General Meeting so we can cater adequately for
lunch. Also, bring an inexpensive present for each child in your party and a plate
to share for morning tea. Don’t forget your chairs, shade shelter, hat, sun screen
etc. as December can be very hot.
The minutes from the 2013 AGM are reprinted on page 16 and continued on page
15, of this months AA. Have a read and think about contributing to the running of
the Club.
From the editors desk, I and my family wish all members a safe, fulfilling and
happy Christmas/New Year break.
Safe driving,
Chris
PS: A quick thanks to all who contributed material for the AA in 2014.

Meg and I would like to wish all SCACC members a happy and safe Xmas/New
Year break.
Regards to all and see you in 2015,
Duncan and Meg.
Karen Ryan
I have received a quote to have more photo books printed. They are only free to
members whose cars are in the book otherwise they are for sale at $16.50 each
for a minimum order of 15 books.
If you want one, please let me know by phone, email or at the AGM. No orders
will be taken after the AGM as the printers need final numbers by the next day.
Please see me at the AGM to confirm your order. Payment can be made either at
the AGM or at the Xmas Party.
Regarding the AGM, if we can’t get fill the Secretaries job, the Club will have to
employ a professional as the Club cannot legally operate without a Secretary.
Call me urgently even if you only have a small inkling that you might like to do the
job. I can put your mind to rest regarding the duties and workload etc.
Regards,
Karen

WEBMASTERS REPORT: New online booking system for the 2015 Swap Meet is working
well. Have currently received approximately $2300 into the Swap account in payment for

PROPERTY REPORT: Club shirts, hats, badges etc. are for sale.
GENERAL BUSINESS:
Raffle $2 per ticket or 3 for $5.
Cliff was concerned that he hadn’t been informed of Beryl Jensen’s funeral. A general discussion about the difficulties of advising everyone, or even knowing whom to advise, ensued.
An email is generally sent out to those with email access who are then asked to pass on the
information. A suggestion was made that we could send a text message to those with mobile
phones, but not all members have mobile phone access either. There seems to be no easy solution and members may have to resort to notifications published in the local newspaper.
David Grant gave a short report on the Cooroy Car Show and Swap. About 12 members participated and quite a few won trophies.
Derek reported that the Custodians Rally at Maryborough was an excellent rally and very
well run. The Club won a trophy for most attended.
Bevin talked about a book that had been written by Doug Partington called ‘The road from
Leura Australia to Lincoln USA - The journey of the Wikner Ford’. He recommended it as
worth reading and lent it to Paul Conyn to read.
Karen reported that a David Parmiter phoned asking if our Club would be interested in participating in a rally next year to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Buderim to
Palmwoods tramway. It will be held in the first two weeks of June, though no firm details yet
and he is just collecting expression if interest at this time.
Derek announced that Ross Walker’s Alvis is now back on the road and suggested J&N Race
Cars at Yandina as being worth contacting if you need parts made.
Malcolm King skited that he was now the proud owner of a 1929 Riley Knight even though it is
in about 3000 pieces (I know that feeling well … Ed.) Malcolm asked if the Club was interested in being Club of the Year at the 2016 Noosa Classic.
Meeting closed 9:00pm

The Great Cooloolabin Cup Day (Sunday 2nd November)
The horse racing was ‘Neck a Neck’ with a few ‘Neddies’ going ‘Head to Head’ on the
day. ‘Yandina Girl’ was the winner, ‘Lusty Lady’ came in second followed by ‘Bundy Lad’
third. Unfortunately my horse ‘Last Hope’ is off to the glue factory on Monday
morning. Whoever said you can only play quoits on cruise ships needs to attend the
Cooloolabin Cup to see the real players in the game. Special thanks to Bevin, Yvonne,
Andrew and Maree Spackman plus all the other people behind the scenes who did a
fantastic job. The Beefy Pie and Mushy Peas was better than Harry’s Café de
Wheels in Wooloomooloo in Sydney.
Thanks to all the
attendees and to
those who didn’t,
you sure missed out
on a great day.
See you next year,
Paul (Conyn)
