two days, and congratulated those who organised it.

DEC 2nd PARKES CHRISTMAS PARADE Bob reported on a welcome return to the Parade, which was well conducted and attracted a larger crowd of spectators than most had expected. The Club was represented in both the conduct of the Parade and participating in it. It was subsequently revealed that, in approving the parade, Council's Traffic Committee required that there be no "old cars" in it. Fortunately, the message didn't flow on to our membership.

PAST EVENTS

REGISTRATION DAY

As reported to the last meeting, all went pretty well, and the new or optional arrangements seemed to keep most

people happy.

A SNAPSHOT OF 2016

In his report to the AGM, President Barrie summarised the activities of the past year. We had a great number of well

attended activities, all but one of them being a resounding success. The big disappointment of the year was right

at the start with the Cars of the Elvis Era

Show. The Elvis organisers promised us a lot

of display space, gave us very little, and at

the death knock took about 30% of what was

left away, and then put it behind a fence.

Coupled with a high handed attitude of some

of the "volunteers", we ended up with 48

cars crammed into a space suitable for only

28. A potentially great show spoilt by the

efforts of self-proclaimed "experts".

After that the only way to go was up!

The Australian Made show at Cooke Park on

Australia Day. We showed products from GM-H, Ford, Chrysler,

Toyota, and VW, before heading to Oberon in February, and Bathurst

for a lap of the Mount

March was quite busy

with a display at

the Wellington

Vintage Fair and

Swap

A display at the Forbes motor home Show

April featured a tour of the town for Seniors and a bus tour of the town for us

A squiz at the HARS Museum and Aero Club Hangar at Parkes Airport

and ended with a dozen vehicles and a bunch of happy trippers at the CHMC Rally at Temora.
