President’s Report – September 2019 Hello to all club members. This month is our AGM where all positions will be declared vacant and a new Committee elected to run the Club for the next 12 months. If you are thinking about standing for a position or wishing to vote on the night you must be financial. Our Treasurer will have his trustworthy EFTPOS machine available on the night and the Membership Officer will be there as well to sort your membership renewal for those who are wishing to pay prior to the A.G.M. Inverell RSM Falcon GT Owners and Ford Enthusiasts Club are running Valla this year and are holding a competition for the best created Billycart/Esky/Pedal Car. Judging will take place at 3pm on Saturday behind the Woolshed. So, get your brain clicking and start inventing your best Billycart/Esky/Pedal Car. Also, merchandise should have been ordered so I hope everyone has placed theirs, if you haven’t unfortunately the deadline has passed. I want to thank those club members who gave suggestions on where we can hold our upcoming Christmas Party. It was awesome feedback from you which makes the committee members job easy and understanding on what members want for their breakup. We try and please everyone☺. In closing I want to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Committee Members 2018/2019 for all your support you have given me for the past year without that support I don’t think I could off done this position as President. Also, to all club members thank you. Without your feedback, suggestions and support I couldn’t run our meetings. You can still contact me by email michaelhaywood@logan.qld.gov.au with any suggestions, complaints or compliments regarding the club until we know the next committee. See you all at our next meeting and our A.G.M. So, all for now cheers. Mick.

August Run Write Up
Mt Alford
Combined Club Run
Our August club run turned on the sunshine
for us, it was a lovely morning, had to move
a few things from back of EL as Steph &
Lillian decided to come for a drive with us.
Bob & I took the XY while they went in the
El as it hadn’t been out of the shed since
coming back from Nationals. We headed off to Goodna meeting point with a stop at HJ’s for
Breakie as Bob doesn’t like Maccers. We meet up with
others and also a potential new member and a customer of
ours at work Dave O’Shea. I got onto David Roads when
he arrived and asked if he had any m/ship forms on him
and got Dave joined up before he even went on his first
run .
We headed
off up the
highway a
little bit
spread out but we all court up eventually,
bloody traffic. We turned off at Yamanto then
headed to Boonah and our destination at Mt
Alford Pub. Travelling in a small convoy through a
very dry countryside you realise that you don’t even
have to travel way out west to see the effects of the
drought it’s close to home. After arriving at our
destination
were the
rest of the
early
arrivals
were
already relaxed and having a drink. A surprise
guest from a old member from Clermont who
happened to be in Brizzie that weekend, great to
see you Tom Mifsud. We all got in and ordered
lunch and for a few off us that took a while to
arrive, a few more drinks catch up chats with friends
and for Bob a play in the park with Lilly the day
came to an end and everyone started to head for
home.
See you on the Next Run to Mulgowie Pub

Deadline for Next Month’s Newsletter 1st October
A New York attorney, representing a wealthy art collector, called and asked to speak
to his client.
"Paul, I have some good news and I have some bad news."
The art collector replied, "You know, I've had an awful day, Jack, so let's hear the
good news first."
The lawyer said, "Well, I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she
has invested only $5,000 in two very nice pictures
that she thinks will bring somewhere between $15 and $20 million...and I think she
could be right."
Paul replied enthusiastically, "Holy cow!! Well done!! My wife is a brilliant business
woman, isn't she? You've just made my day.
Now, I know I can handle the bad news. What is it?"
The lawyer replied, "The pictures are of you and your secretary.”

Rod, Garry, Shane & Barbie, Mick & Vicki met Jason
at the Whitsunday Gold Coffee Plantation for lunch in
Prossie before heading into Airlie for our combined
weekend with the Townsville mob. The others dribbled
in over the rest of the day and some arrived on
Saturday. Friday Night was the usual beer and pizza
and car talk (the girls don’t call it talk; they use a word
beginning with B). Saturday morning was free to visit
the markets and wander around town. We met up again
at the Jubilee Pocket Tavern for lunch and just a couple
of lights with a light quiz, this time hosted by Jason.
We’re not too sure just who write the oddest quiz
questions, Peter or Jason but no-one got 100% in this
one! Saturday night was a BBQ in the camp kitchen, well
organised by
Peter with plenty
of good tucker
and what do you
know - another quiz presented by Jason, I think
Peter has created a monster here (keep it up boys).
Shakey kindly organised the fire pit for us, sniffing
out an old cache of firewood hidden in the bushes.
Sunday morning was BBQ brekkie in the camp
kitchen, supplied by Peter and cooked up by Shane,Brett and Mick.
Many members
needed to take off early so we assembled out the
front for some pics and headed off. Tony &
Michelle, Bryan & Andrea, Bill and Liz, Shane &
Barbie, Brett, Mick & Vicki stopped off at
Conway Tourist Park on the way home for a
coffee, the off home to clean the cars and take a
nanna nap.
A great time was had by all that attendedDad’s Day in the Valley September 19
