PRESIDENT’S REPORT:
Andrew Duchesne thanked all members for attending tonight’s meeting and thanked
Lyn Murphy for organising our Christmas luncheon.
Andrew advised that he wrote to Club Sapphire after receiving feedback from some
members regarding the Christmas luncheon. Andrew read out the letter from
Club Sapphire to members present.
Andrew thanked Lorraine Exell for this month’s newsletter and said he didn’t realise
we had so many wonderful bikes in the club.
On Saturday there were twelve (12) cars at the Nimmitabel Show and a great day was
had by all.
Andrew said, on a personal note, he was one of many people who paid a deposit on a
new car with Eden Motor Group who have shut their doors and disappeared – not a
pleasant experience.
Andrew welcomed Neil Wood to the front desk. Neil has agreed to take on the role of
Events Coordinator with the support of Garry Twyford – thank you to you both.
Who’s got new cars or sold cars??
Bob Whiting spoke of his experience ordering parts for his Chev from the States.
He was thrilled with all the parts he received and can’t wait to fit all the bits.
The Postage was horrific, next time Bob will fly over and pick them up!

GENERAL BUSINESS:
Alan Smith has a 1998 Toyota Corolla (Auto) for sale that has only travelled locally in

Please contact Alan on 02 6492 1277 for further details.
Barbara Black has an old Ford Falcon for free, you just have to come and pick it up.
Graham Peterson has offered to assist Barbara.
Barbara Black asked why a letter was sent to Club Sapphire without first asking
members. Lyn Murphy said that by sending a letter it was a reflection on her as she
organised the Christmas Luncheon. Andrew apologised for sending the letter but
was responding on feedback received from other members and Committee Members.

Garry Thornton and Nimmitabel Show
A misty foggy morning in Bega. A
pleasant drive through the Bemboka area,
but Brown Mountain was in cloud and
very moist to the top.
In Nimmitabel fantastic weather.
Arriving at the Nimmitabel Showground
we were met by other members who left
early to hold spots for everyone.
A huge crowd attended this large show
and lots of people looked at our cars with
the new Club Banners flying proudly.

The Cooma Car Club,
celebrating their
20th Anniversary year,
had many lovely vehicles
on display and once again
extended their invitation
to join them 6th & 7th April
on their
Over 50s Classic Rally.
12
In the hall were exhibits of photography,
flowers, produce, baking, bottles of fruit
preserves, jars of jam, marmalade, pickles
and chutney and even home brew beer as
well as a lovely array of handy craft and a
table of wool that had been judged. There
was much to keep the crowd entertained -
local musicians, dancing displays, wool
spinning and stalls had been set up.
By about two pm, after the chainsaw
racing, our members all started to
head home. A very pleasant day in the
sunshine was had by all.
With such a wide array of attractions
and an impressively large crowd, it is
no wonder Garry described it as the
best Nimmitabel Show ever!
Birthday wishes are extended by the Club to

E ight hardy and committed show
going members of BHMC assembled at
Bega Street to get organised to show their
vehicles and have a fun time at the 146th
Far South Coast National Show at Bega.
The following members and vehicles
participated in the Grand Parade

Neil Wood assigned the parade running
order and collected details about each
vehicle for the Show Announcer.
We all followed Ray Ubrihien winding
through the streets of Bega to avoid
traffic lights and hill starts (was it to avoid
the possibility of stalling or overheating??).
Arriving near the entrance to the
Showground we joined an assortment of
four wheel drives and emergency vehicles
to await the call to enter.
The organisers thought this was the place
and time for us to engage in some ‘quiet’
meditation watching the thousands of fruit
bats circling and settling down in the trees
before their evening blitzkrieg on local
gardens and orchards.
Eventually the club column was
summoned.
15
We proceeded into the Showground
with the Announcer commenting on each
vehicle as we entered.
The lead vehicles collected dignitaries.
Our local member, Andrew Constance,
was the doorman.
This year the club vehicles were allowed a
full lap of the Showground before parking
in display mode opposite the main
grandstands.
There was a good crowd and they
appeared to show their appreciation for
our vehicles.
After parking club members dispersed to
various locations and displays.
Did we see Bob Russell on the dodgems
or was it the Death Swing?
Maybe next year we could suggest a good
use for some of the delicious exhibition
cakes would be to provide a cup of tea and
some cake for members (just a thought).
Our thanks to all club members who
participated and it is good to be involved
in such a great community event.

Our Thursday morning run was overcast
and a little humid as we headed out to the
Tathra Pub for lunch.
By the time we arrived the sun was shining
and the wind had picked up a little.
The view was beautiful, the ocean seemed
calm.
We had tables reserved inside for the
members. We ordered our meals and they
were ready to eat in no time.
Quite an array of choices on the menu and

as always we were not disappointed.
Linda and Dave Boardman went a
step further and had all salivating
when their Sticky Date Pudding
with butterscotch sauce, ice cream
and blueberries on the side arrived ...
YUMMO!! It was delicious.
Garry Thornton was on the prowl
writing up a list for fines throughout
the day. I hope everyone brings a pocket
full of coins to the next meeting, even
those who were unable to attend.
Conversations flowed throughout,
getting to know members we had not
met before and catching up with others.
Couldn’t think of a better way to spend a
day ... great company, conversation and
food.
