Success for inaugural HCVC SA meeting

September 6, 2008 was an important date for South Australian enthusiasts when we formally established a branch of the HCVC in our state writes Murray Langford.

Both the organising families, the Craigs and the Langfords, were overwhelmed to see the crowd of approximately 70 friendly faces at the Tanunda inaugural meeting. Enthusiasts were there from all over the state and it was no problem getting nominations for official positions. So we are underway, everyone is positive and good ideas are flowing.

A big thank you from all of us to Judy and Jim Craig who organised the meal on Saturday night and to all of those who helped them get it on the table. We also have to thank Jim for arranging the visits to the three collections which had something for everyone and finished the weekend off nicely.

Thank you to the Victorian members who made the trip to support us on this occasion. Your help was appreciated and when we get our events programme in motion we would like to see you back again.

Well, we are underway and now it would be great to have a succession of events being planned for the years ahead. If you would like to plan an event or have ideas we could use, I would like to hear from you.

Please contact Andy for Murray’s details if you don’t already have them.
