Waverly Meeting
Declared Open 8:02pm by David Wright Apologies:
As per Book
Minutes from the Last Meeting:
Minutes of the 217th MGM read by Matt Twaddle seconded by Tess
Schouw Treasury
Report – Stuart Chiron No change to the balance since last month
$7644.44.Raffle money from last MGM went into petty cash. Balance now $89
Australia Post renewal is due Stuart has been working on 2 things:
1)
is the AGM and the hall for hosting it. Jason Rafferty offered the new
Shannon’s facility. Fabulous venue but it holds only 50 max so a bit small
for an AGM. Committee also talking about Mulgrave for the AGM. AGM usually
costs a few thousand to hire hall and supply food so we will investigate
Mulgrave. The AGM is a full day for the committee with morning setup,
evening AGM and then late night clean-up and pack away. Rick suggested the
Seaford community centre.
2)
is memberships and Stuart will bring renewal forms along next month. We
will get it started soon and use direct deposit EFT again Social

Officer’s Report – Jill Wright Who
is interested in getting beanies. Show of hands said it was a good idea.
Jill will investigate. Visitors
Allan
from Frankston, Ex HSV\HDT club president and still life member. Had a
Blue VK Group A and a VP GTS. Found a HZ Premier through his mates son in
law. It was sitting in garage in saddle duco with buckskin interior. Low
kms and no rust. Mint condition. Took it to Wonthaggi and it won a prize
for best original. Spent 100 hours polishing. Reason for coming along he
bought a HZ Premier hubcap from Steve Wilson who suggested the LPHCC was a
good club.
George
lives locally in Oakley and has an EK ute that he has owned for the past 5
years. It was a wreck purchased from eBay he got it in the country from
Edenhope. Took a couple of years to restore and his Wife suggested he join
a club. Originally was going to join the EK FB club but it sounded boring
talking about the same cars. General
Business David Wright mentioned that David Slater had a
download from VicRoads and we have found 2 cars not registered. John
Collins was one who managed to convince VicRoads that he was registered.
It took about 30 mins on the phone to sort it out. David Wright mentioned
we will do a regular check but ultimately members should keep an eye on it
as its their responsibility and be very proactive when it’s almost time to
renew. We found nothing on the club CPS register that should not be there.
Dave Slater mentioned that we can’t check anything long term historical. Mentoring program available and we need members to
help. Looking particularly at the Secretary position David wright
mentioned its very critical to have a secretary in a club for minutes and
admin.
Also, looking at bringing back a membership
officer at the AGM. Please have look at what we do in a committee meeting
come along to Mulgrave CC at 7pm on the 1st Thursday. Lance has some giveaways. Automotive books and
repair manuals. Thanks Lance Jason Todds dad also had a giveaway. Stamp
collectors have the international stamp show on the 30th of march

event weekend after next. Has been long weekend for years but later GP has
