and that the old cars have been dusted off
and are road ready for the year ahead.
Planning is well advanced for the Art Deco
Festival that is nearly upon us (it’s never to
late to offer your services to help out even
in a small way) and tickets as usual have
sold quickly. This year again promises to
be a great event an amazing chance for us
to assist in showcasing the region and our
Club.
Things are moving back to normal and
Steve Donovan was kind enough to
organise a January Run for those still in
town and looking to get out on the road.
The Clubrooms are back in full swing
with the Tuesday group enjoying some
camaraderie and a cuppa (and likely please
the other half by getting out from under
their feet!!) and Club night kicks of on the
12th Feb. and Kitchen Night the 28th.

     Because of the clash of dates with the inaugural ‘Highland Fling’ Rally at
       the end of April, it has been decided to bring the date of the annual
     Maunga Moana Rally forward to a day in March, hoping daylight saving
        and better Taranaki weather may add to the success of the event.
