Learmont cars being prepared for auction
Neville Leech has been busy over the last couple of weeks getting as many vehicles in the Learmont collection running and rolling in preparation for the auction. Neville has faced stale fuel, “molasses” in fuel tanks and carburettors, frozen points, locked brakes and perished tyres and tubes. It’s a big task to get these vehicles going after such a long time laid up and his efforts are showing positive results, with the auction soon to be announced.

Tilba Winery Luncheon - 21 April
22 Members enjoyed a pleasant drive to Tilba on a sunny Autumn morning, with Kevin’s Mini having a “BMC” day and losing a cylinder en-route. Kevin decided to turn back to try and locate the missing cylinder, and hopefully all went well! The Tilba winery is an excellent venue for Club lunches which members enjoyed. A number decided to return via the coast road via Bermagui and a few cars were noted blowing some cobwebs out the back. A most enjoyable day for all who participated.

VW Kombi Visit 30 March 2024
On Easter Saturday some 50 VW Kombis and over one hundred enthusiasts showed up at the club for a meet and tour of our premises followed by tea and snacks. The visitors enjoyed the display of our cars and the most enlightening and entertaining presentations by our tour guides. Just listening to Neville Leech giving a history of Peter Learmont and his cars was very entertaining, excellent job Neville. Thanks to all the helpers, especially the catering team and organizers and tour guides, a special thanks to Alec Percival. As one can see, it was quite a remarkable sight with all sorts of weird and wonderful VW people carriers and campers on display.

Riley Farm Visit
Riley Car (parts) Collect On the 11th through to the 14th March five club members and one volunteer drove to the Riley Farm outside of Parkes NSW. Some 4 tonnes of chassis frames and other car components were identified and loaded onto two trailers. Thanks to Bob Cechet and John McNair for organizing the event. Fred Silk managed to get some Oldies started, the Wolseley hasn’t been fired up for 40 years. Good fun was had by all, on the second last day we managed to visit the McFeeder Car Museum at Forbes which is well worth to see and spend time at. You may want to hurry as the building is for sale and subsequently the cars will be auctioned off – some opportunities there for interested parties? Then a visit the CSIRO radio telescope at Parkes NSW, A remarkable iconic 64-diameter structure has been in operation since 1961. Finally ended at the Bogan Gate Pub for some cold beers and dinner.

Tathra Lions Club 50th Anniversary
A great day out was had by members at the Tathra Lions Club 50th Anniversary celebrations at Taylor Square in Tathra. There was a brisk fresh off the ocean breeze when we arrived, but a nice coffee warmed us up. (thanks Gary) It was interesting mix of cars from our club and the Bega club for visitors to check out. The day quickly warmed up to a beautiful sunny day and we were most entertained by the dog high jump. Our club junior entrant failed at the first jump, so more training is required Robyn for future dog high jumps.
