CATERING FOR ALL VEHICLES OLDER THAN 31ST DECEMBER 1980 OF ORIGINAL DESIGN

Visitors from other clubs passing through Lismore & Casino are always welcome at our club outings and meetings. Meetings of the club are the SECOND WEDNESDAY of each month

at the LISMORE WORKERS CLUB , Keen Street, Lismore at 7.30pm.

OPINIONS EXPRESSED IN THIS MAGAZINE ARE NOT NECESSARILY THOSE OF THE CLUB.

GUIDELINES FOR CONDITIONAL REGISTRATION (CLUB PLATES)

All NRVVCC members should familiarize themselves with the NSW RMS rules and club rules surrounding how to use your vehicles on Conditional registration, together with the requirement to carry certain documents in

the vehicle whenever it is being used. If you are on the log book trial, the RMS issued log book must be completed by the member before you use

the vehicle for anything other than NRVVCC club outings. Vehicles not on log book, the member should phone/email the secretary when a movement is needed for anything other than club outings.

Any member with vehicles(s) conditionally registered through the NRVVCC and who do not attend a minimum of three club events per calendar year (not including registration day & meetings) may be asked by

the committee to show cause as to why the club should sanction the renewal of their registration in the following year.

The Club cannot afford the risk of the system being abused and the subsequent loss of the benefits of these worthwhile concessions for other Club members.

Editor’s Report

With another year coming to an end I would like to extend my thanks to

those members who have taken the time to pass on features, interesting photos

or material that would add variety to the Klaxon throughout the year. I also

extend a big Thank You to Graeme Gill for keeping us supplied with ink

cartridges for the copier at a very economical cost. Expenses producing the

Klaxon would have been much higher if having to purchase locally.

I also wish to extend my thanks to our secretary Narelle Middleton for her

valuable assistance throughout the years. Regardless whether in the

secretarial position on not, Narelle has always been there assisting with

finding ways to get around my loss of megabytes on my computer by sending

out the online Klaxon and any other problems during the production of our

magazine.

I would like to extend my thanks to Bob Trevan as well Over almost fourteen

years there has seldom been a Klaxon produced without input from Bob and

not always about Ford’s. Bob is moving on and his input will be missed

especially during times of little club news. Only an Editor would notice the

loss of input from these club members.

I would also like to extend our Thanks to our President, Chris Loadsman for

his assistance in taking the time to send photos and documentaries of outings

that Nancy & I couldn’t attend. His and Narelle’s assistance over the years

has been greatly appreciated.

Nancy & I wish you all a Merry Christmas and may the coming

New Year be kind to you all.

EDITORS – Ron & Nancy

Alstonville Show

We arrived at the gate at 11-30am to find most of our

members taking part lined up on the left of the entrance,

which was a much better location than on previous

occasions with our vehicles lined up where the public could

view them, also we could enjoy morning tea under the shade

of trees.

Two of our members, Noel Gill & Gordon Lowrey also had

their traction engine on display but remained stationary with

other engines on display.

Later in the morning the ‘Show Girl’ contestants came

around with their Supervisors to arrange their means of

support on the various styles of vehicles. Sometime later,

with show girl contestants on board we Lined up at the

entrance and as soon as the horses found their way out,

joined the procession without incident. After the ceremonies

were complete, we drove the contestants out of the ring and

called it a day.

A VISIT TO LISMORE BOTANIC

GARDENS – 6th

November, 2019

The sun was out, the ground was dry, and seven

cars found their way to our very own Botanic

Gardens. Up to the end of last century, Lismore

was the largest Australian City without its own

Botanic Gardens. However, an enthusiastic group

was formed, eventually a site was found and our

own gardens commenced. This is something we

should all be proud of. This group, all volunteers,

has converted a tangled web of weeds and degraded bushland into an

environment worthy of a visit. A genuine rainforest, a hoop pine forest and

different areas of local plants offer visitors intriguing walks for all to enjoy.

Following morning tea our group was shown a brief history of the garden’s

progress. After some discussion and question time we were taken on a guided

tour through some of the gardens. None of the group had been there before, so I

hope they will come back, and maybe

bring Christmas visitors as well.

Although it is so dry at present the

flowers are starting to bloom and are

ready and waiting for rain.

Entry is free and the gardens are open

whenever the “Tip” gates are open.

Thank you so much Marie and Tracey

for making us welcome

Lunch at Wollongbar Tavern

Due to the inclement weather conditions it was decided to change the run

from Evans Head to lunch at the Wollongbar Tavern. 22 members spent their

time being served a delightful lunch in the airconditioned comfort of the

Wollongbar Tavern.

We had a very enjoyable afternoon away from the smoke, heat and dust and

a Big Thank You to Ron Hawkins and members involved in re-arranging the

day for us.

THE DINKUM OIL

A drop from the Council of Heritage Motor Clubs to keep you going

RMS affirmed several aspects of HVS and CVS during its meeting with the Historic and Classic Car Industry Working Group on 30th October:

It will consult with stakeholders about further development of the Log Book, including detailed design of the format. Invitations will be sent out this month for workshops in December to consider design of a revised Log Book

No matter what format is eventually used by Log Book operators, it will eventually require all details (including use) to be able to be recorded digitally within RMS.

HVS is available only to vehicles 30 years or older with manufacturer’s options or period accessories. Seat belts or trafficators are permitted. Mechanical or non-period body changes not offered for that model by the manufacturer such as :

o Power steering o Power windows o Aftermarket seats o Disc Brakes o Alternative wheels from a different manufacturer

o Intake and exhaust systems from a different manufacturer exclude a vehicle from HVS.

RMS Compliance has advised that it will continue to act against breaches of vehicle HVS or CVS eligibility, and its website will soon enable such breaches to be reported directly.

Alternatively, breaches may be reported to CHMC’s RMS Liaison Officer (Peter Wright). Reports will need: Vehicle HVS or CVS registration number, date, location and photograph/s with description indicating noncompliance concern.

CHMC will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in conjunction with next year’s half yearly General Meeting It will be held at Raymond Terrace on the weekend of 24th /25th October 2020.

Heritage motorist and Cartoonist Warren Brown will feature as Guest Speaker

Clubs are encouraged to plan a Club visit or tour to the area, either before, after, or spanning the celebration

Council will keep members updated with further information regarding our upcoming anniversary

For further information contact:

Peter Wright (RMS Liaison) phone 0417 250 798 regarding RMS, or

Kathy Booby (CHMC Secretary) phone 0418 235 797 regarding the 50th Anniversary
