Presidential File

July 2026

Hello everyone,

Time to reflect on the month of June, firstly we had “Kelli’s Run”, to the Bellevue Hotel, Coominya on June 14th, we arrived there via the “scenic ”route. An enjoyable day was had by all, the event was organised by Tom Martin, and well attended by several car clubs. Tom advises that a substantial amount of money was raised, and much appreciated by the Ipswich Hospice.

Unfortunately, due to an unfavourable weather forecast the decision to postpone President’s Day was made, we have rescheduled for early July.

Sunday the 28th saw us host our annual Ipswich Swap Meet, the morning was cold, but not as cold as some previous years. Pat has written a report on the day which appears in the July issue of the Club magazine. Thank you, to our usual group of helpers and pleasingly several new faces, your help was gratefully received. Money raised helps to fund our Outings, Christmas Party and this year our 40th Anniversary Dinner.

The 40th Dinner is shaping up to be a great evening, with many past Members set to join many current Members. I am sure there will be plenty of memories and stories swapped on the night. We are nearing a “full house” situation, so if you haven’t booked your place, please contact me as soon as possible.

Looking forward to catching up at one of our events.

Drive safe,

Darryl Lonergan
Vice President
