Hello all Club Members, I know we all have our eyes set on our biggest event of the year being our Display and Show Day of all our Small Fords on the 5th November being next Sunday. Come and join everyone for a fabulous day in seeing a wide variety of cars in all sorts of degrees whether Restored, Modified or Original. Even if it s your everyday drive or unfinished project, everyone wants to see them. This is the event of the year where all Historic Plated Club Cars should attend. We will also be in need of helpers to cover an hour or so of the day. There is food and drink available, and of course there will be raffles and prizes. Come along and enjoy the spirit, May many Fords be with you. Don t forget the 9th of December is the date for our Christmas Party at Mt Annan Botanical Gardens to cap the year off, so there is a great social lot of chin wagging to do. Santa will be there for the kids, so if you would like your child to receive a gift from Santa, please bring it along with their name on it so it can be handed out. Thank You Jim Campbell Vice President Since 1990

This Mystery Run has already been planned and will be run by Steve and Janelle Lansley. If you haven t been on one of their previous runs then you re truly in for a day of fun. The day is a rather casual affair with questions to answer and a game of skill sometimes thrown in. There is a luncheon on at the end of the event. So, don t worry if you miss any clues, you ll get to copy all the correct answers from your fellow competitors over lunch.

Santa will also be making an appearance, so don t forget to bring along presents for your children or grandchildren so that they have a gift to receive from Santa. Of course he will have plenty of sweets to hand out for the big kids too. If you would like to cruise to the event along with other members then please meet at Uncle Leo s truck stop at 10.00am Uncle Leo s Truck Stop Crossroads Lot 1 Campbelltown Rd, Glenfield Meet at 10.00am to cruise to the Wattle Garden, Mt Annan

6 Small Ford Sunday (VIC) Sunday 4 th February 2018 Deaf Children Australia 597 St Kilda Road, Melbourne VIC Cars enter from High street. We have been invited to attend the Small Ford Sunday show which is held in Victoria on the first Sunday in February every year. The 2018 show is being held at a new venue which the organisers tell us is a better venue than the previous ones. It is the biggest show in the country for small fords so it is definitely worth the effort to travel down. There are trade stands too, and of course plenty of trophies are up for grabs.

Geoff gave a good report of how the event is shaping and the sponsors who will assist in addition to an explanation of what cars will be judged and how that will work.
