Coronavirus 2020

February  2020  heralded the arrival of the Corona Virus Covid-19 and it stomped on our monthly meet ups. The corona virus is not to be confused with the Car-Owner-Virus which many of us have suffered from for many years.

Although we all wanted to get our beloved cars out and drive around the country-side our politician forebode it along with pretty much all forms of socialising!  We’ve been left to polish our cars to within millimetres of their lives. Many of us have been forced to attend virtual car shows, Looking at pictures of cars from the angle the photographer wanted, squinting and turning our heads to try and see that certain something just out of shot, with no avail, yes I too guilty of that.

We watch the news and listen to the stats for our fellows around the country and around the globe and we come to realise just how lucky we are here in beautiful Queensland and whilst we mourn the loss of each individual we give thanks its not us or our loved ones. We are now in April and Anzac Day has come and past, not the usual Anzac Day with ceremonies and marchers proud, but even more sombre the many remembering the few from the driveways of our houses and beautiful and eerie sound of the lone bugle sounding the Last Post, Lest we forget.

Presidents Report 16th April 2020

Well I suppose everyone has the smartest lawns, gardens, clean and glistening cobras and all the home maintenance that you have been putting of for ages attended to and the tv set is nearly worn out. hmmmm ? And also trying not to wind the cobra speed up on it’s many trips to the local bottle shop and I hope your fights have been kept to a minimum.        Enough nonsense here is the news.

The club renewals which are normally in June have been put on hold until we become operational again. The club insurance policy also has been put on hold until the same time so there are no club expenses for the time being.

Some of you have automatic withdrawals for the renewals, so maybe you could cancel that for now as who knows how long this nasty situation will be with us.

    Regarding the club AGM due in June.

If anyone one wishes to take a club position let me know as the meeting will be somehow done over the net. Paperwork will be sent out next month.

I will send this email out again in May..

I took over a restoration project last year, which is good thing to have at this time. A 1967 S-type jaguar which is giving me head aches but keeping me off the streets. Just to keep a contact I will send pics and info.

Maybe some other members have something similar of interest you could share with the club.
