me on my mobile, home phone or by email [email protected] with any

suggestions, complaints regarding the club.

Cheers for now.

Mick. SECRETARY’S REPORT

MINUTES OF MEETING HELD AT COORPAROO RSL

NOTHING THIS MONTH

Stay Safe & Be Careful

CLUB FEES WILL FALL DUE FROM NEXT MONTH.

All club members did such a great job of getting in and paying

their club renewals before the end of last year. Let’s see if we can

do a club best and have all fees paid by September, when a late

fee price starts. Our Membership Officer David Roads has done a

terrific job in the 12 months plus he is very approachable if you

have a problem. David is always willing to help

SIV’s/ CLUB REGISTRION REGULATIONS DUE

TO COVID-19 CORONA VIRUS

At this stage all car club mobile activities are cancelled in line with the guidelines set by Government on Covid-19 Corona Virus for social gatherings.

As a result, members would find it difficult to find any listed event to attend with their vehicles during this difficult, unprecedented and restrictive times. The Falcon GT Owner's Club should suspend all events which means that events previously published and or promoted are no longer happening so no travel of a SIVS registered vehicle is permitted under these terms.

ALL FALCON GT CLUB RUNS ARE CANCELLED AS PER NEWSLETTER

SIVS registered vehicles are permitted to drive within a 150 kilometer radius of the home and or garage workshop address for the purpose of vehicle maintenance.

Mechanical workshops and or mechanics or other persons who perform mechanical work are currently considered 'essential services'. Therefore, members may drive their vehicle to the location to have work performed provided they maintain social distancing guidelines with regards to the number of people in one place. There is no distance restriction for the purpose of driving a SIVS registered vehicle to a place for mechanical repair provided that the owner can substantiate the reason for the travel. ie a Ford carburetor specialist etc.

There have been no guidelines issued by TMR in relation to the current situation. As the announcements on Government restrictions and COVID 19 social distancing are made to the public the message is simply that they want people to stay at home and isolate unless necessity for food, welfare and employment gives reason to be away from home.

PLEASE NOTE: With fewer general vehicles on the road at present and the cancellation of all social events an historic vehicle will stand out more to law enforcement officers who may choose to intercept the vehicle and request proof of the reason for travel in a SIVS/ Club registered vehicle at the time.

POLICE WILL BE ON THE LOOK OUT, SO TAKE NOTICE OF THIS NOTIFICATION.

You may be lucky if you get court & just get a warning or you could get a real “A-hole” &

throw the book at you.

Present indications are positive that the social distancing restrictions are working towards slowing the spread of the COVID-19 virus but the peak is still not here so people need to maintain patience and vigilance for the time being until this virus is under control and only then can events resume but present indications are that this may be some months away.

Hope this clarifies things for you

THE ORDERS FOR THE NEW

CLUB JACKETS HAS NOW

CLOSED AND SHOULD BE ON

THERE WAY TO YOU. We did not want to leave the orders open any longer

due to the way things were at the time. If you

wanted a jacket you have missed out, as members

we given enough time to decide if they wanted one

and to get your order into Wally. If you still would like a jacket, then you will

need to contact Wally and leave your details and sizes with him. Unfortunately,

you will have to wait until we have the number to be able to place another order.

You were given enough time to make up your mind and place an order.

Rest In Peace John Wynne

Our thoughts are with John’s family and friends as

they mourn his passing

John was highly respected in the motor sport industry, with his passion for race cars and Fords. John was instrumental in Fords racing success between 1969-1973 with the "works" Falcon GTHOs and instrumental in the Phase 4 program.

Information from your Editor

PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP SOCIAL DISTANCING

IN MIND AT ALL TIME

RUNS & EVENTS:

Hi All, as you will notice I have remove CANCELLED from most of your local areas regular

event meets, but please check with them to make sure they are up and running. Due to

number restriction being raised and more people are allowed to attend café’s or meets and/ or

runs, but please remember social distancing, also some may still not be up and running as

yet.

CLUB JACKETS:

The new club jackets have arrived, if you have ordered a jacket please contact Wally to

organise collection, or if you would like it posted then you will need to let him know and

arrange and pay postage. Wally’s contact details in front of newsletter.

REQUEST:

With the lifting of some of our restrictions and with us being able to now go out for a run in

our cars. If you know of any events that are now open or car meets or swaps PLEASE let me

know so that I can add then to newsletter or even Facebook.

VALLA:

Hunter Valley have said that Valla will not be run as it usually is. Hopefully Qld borders will

have opened so that we will be able to attend but there will be NO Show & shine at RSL and

there will be NO merchandise organised by them (HV). So, Valla this year will be just one

big catch up if you choose to attend. If you are NOT intending to go then remember to

contact the park and carry your booking over to 2021.

HERVEY BAY WEEKEND:

For those booked for the May long weekend, which is now going to be for some Friday 2nd

or the rest Saturday 3rd – Monday 5th October. This is only going to be an ordinary catch up,

unless further restrictions are lifted. As by then there may be some sort of car event on, the

Maryborough Swap will be on that week end at the show grounds or you may choose to go

Whale watching. As these beautiful creatures will still be around in the Bay then.

ALL FORD DAY 2020

As for this year’s All Ford Day, unfortunately we are still hanging in there and waiting for an

outcome from Willowbank. As we have a large number of entrants and spectators plus

Willowbank employees, the event numbers are above 4,500. Due to number restrictions from

Covid -19 this may be an issue, as it will be hard to restrict numbers for the event. So, fingers

crossed this improve a bit more.

Mackay group Covid breakout run to Midge Point Tavern June

We’d waited a long time to break out of isolation and to burn up some of our stale fuel and

this was the day. We all woke up to one of the lousiest mornings in quite a while, but

undaunted, we all ventured forth onto our wet, cold and slippery roads. We all bunched up at

Coningsby and when all 13 cars had gathered, off we went to our 11.30 lunch date. We had

to be there dead on time as the Tavern needed to serve 2 lunch sittings, ours at 11.30 and the

next at 1.00 pm. The run up was uneventful but pretty wet (the last time we went there it

poured so much that we had to drive well under the speed limit at times, that was hard). We

arrived well before time and milled around for a while doing the usual thing.

We had been told that we could only have 20 people inside but the overflow could be served

out in the beer garden so we’d been drawing straws to decide who that would be, but by

some miracle, the publican found that we could have 3 tables of 8 inside (we cheated and sat

9 at one table)

As usual, the pub gave us a good feed, there were no complaints. Andrea won our main raffle

prize and we shared a few minor prizes. Now let’s go home and clean our cars.

In attendance were:

Tony & Michelle – Phase 2 Aiden & Mikaela – with Tony & Michelle

Shakey & Val – 74 Surferoo shagging waggin Jacques & Elsie – FG GT Black Edition

Alan & Simon - XE ESP Andy & Brett – XY Replica GT

Brad & Christine – 5th Anniversary FG Shane & Barbie – FGX G6ET

Mick & Vicki – XW GS Fairmont Barry & Carol – XY GT

Brian & Andrea – XY GT Rod – XW GS ute

Brett & Garry – XB ute

Check the club Facebook page for more photos and some of pilot Tony’s overhead vision.

Until next time, Happy Motoring

Cheers Mick Mason

The "Handy-Woman"

A blonde, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to hire herself out as a "handy-

woman" and started canvassing a nearby well-to-do neighborhood. She went to the front

door of the first house, and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do. "Well, I

guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he said, how much will you charge me?"

The blonde quickly responded, "How about $50.00?" The man agreed and told her that the

paint and everything she would need was in the garage.

The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, "Does she realize that our

porch goes all the way around the house?

He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?"

The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes

we've been getting by email lately."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished

already?" the husband asked.

"Yes," the blonde replied, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the

man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her. "And by the way," the blonde

added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Lexus."
