CMC Report
By Combined Motoring Club Delegate, Jim Boyd
General Meeting -30 November 2009
Greeting all you good Ford folks, this is a report on the last CMC meeting of the year. This meeting was followed by the A.G.M.
There was a full turnout of member clubs, and a number of important agenda items were attended to during the general meeting, some of the more pertinent ones are mentioned below:
The oil forum which was held recently at the invitation of the CMC was a great success, and will be continued by popular demand. Not only oil properties for older cars was covered but also handy hints for modern cars.
Next forum will be on tyres after Easter. watch this space
National Motoring Heritage Day has been set for next year, and clubs are encouraged to join with other clubs to maximise events on the day, CMC will assist by posting of venues where they can.
The Sydney Tram & Bus Museum have been given a draft lease on the Leichhardt site to cover 20 years in 5 year increments, probably so their tenure can be reviewed more easily. placeCityTempe is now used by 20 buses as a temporary depot.
The original letter sent to the NRMA requesting cover for Road Service Members' Club Cars has reached it's third anniversary, with no decision in the offing as of yet.
Tickets for Shannon's Eastern Creek Classic will be available from the first meeting for 2010, on 25th January, so make sure our club officers get in early to reserve a good site, date set for this event is 21st - 22nd August 2010.
After the general meeting was a short break for drinks (compliments of CMC) and then the A.G.M.
All senior officers were returned to incumbent positions, except for the treasurer who is now also the new membership secretary.
Happy Motoring
Jim Boyd
