President’s
Report
Hi members. Well a quarter
of the way through the year already A
great weekend at However the Southern Connection is on in Also, the club is looking at buying a Mk4 Zephyr – plates on hold – needs a quick paint – She’s a good runner – having driven it myself. Also auto. I believe there are a heap of Mk4 parts that the club are short of. A club car would be very handy for the Convention, for advertising businesses etc. If anybody who wants to add something to this, for or against, please ring me. Now with the convention less than 12 months away, we are going to start calling on members for help form now on, as thing will really speed up. Talking of that, some input from members regarding the Sunday – the main run. We need more ideas on this. The plan was Riverton through to Manapouri and back – but decided this was too long for those that have already travelled a long way. Keep in mind that the Model A club are going to Tuatapere Domain and I don’t know where the Hot Rod Club are going. So any suggestions, let a committee member know as soon as. That’s all for now….

Captain’s
Report
Hi everyone. What a magic doo once again at A big thanks for Joyce and Merv
for the use of their excellent new hideaway, gourmet BBQ, pool table and most
of all a really ‘relax Club Outings…as no club outing has yet been organised for March, with the Christchurch Connection coming up at the end of the month, we will be looking at about mid-April for our next get together. So if anyone can help with organising something it would be much appreciated as I am absolutely snowed under with work at the moment, and are struggling for time. Other Stuff…To all Mk2 owners who don’t have their wiring system fused properly, (check it out) as our Mk2 decided to do a big burn out a few weeks ago when our wiring loom went on fit. What a panic when the whole car filled with smoke instantly. A ‘short’ from the park-light nearly cost us our car, so as mentioned above, check it out!. PS if anyone needs instructions on how to disconnect a battery, remove dash switches and chrome etc. , disconnect light switch, speedo cable and remove speedo in about 2 minutes flat, please phone 03 448-8670. See you all soon, Wayne, Wendy and Royden |

Outings
Report
The We arrived from Wanaka on Friday evening, to park our bed at Merv & Joyce’s place, and had a welcome cup of tea. Over the evening and next morning people arrived to settle themselves in for the weekend. As is always the case, it was lovely to meet up with all the Zephyr and Zodiac Club members, and they were all in fine mood as usual. For the Friday arrivals, we all adjourned to the pub for a lazy tea and drinks, (we always get a great welcome there) and the food was tasty. On Saturday morning, we all gathered at the lake shore, and while some enjoyed the speed of the power boats, others had a serene trip on the yacht. It was really nice to watch the children all enjoying themselves in the simple pursuit of splashing in the water at the edge of the lake for hours it seemed. The weather was perfect, so we all enjoyed whatever we did, even if it was reading, having a wine or chat, and watching the activity on the lake. Saturday night’s meal was as delicious as ever, the barbeque set up at Merv & Joyce’s with so many tasty things to choose from. When Peter, Jan and I set off for our bed by the lake, the party was getting into full swing, but I will leave someone else to comment on that. Back to the house on Sunday for a huge breakfast, fit for
a king. The golfers arrived later, (and
there was plenty of food left for them).
They looked as if they had all had a great morning. After our meeting, every one prepared for the
journey home - after a most enjoyable weekend. As we always have when we go
to As always a great weekend in great company. Tosh (Wanaka) |

Outings Report
CHRISTMAS 2001 With members always as interesting, and being our Christmas meeting - it was special. Our first port-of-call was the Maze/Puzzle World at beautiful Wanaka, and all the members enjoyed seeing the alterations and additions. The toilets were especially of interest, definitely a place for contemplation, even the Romans thought so. The holographs were of great interest, the funny feeling you got going into the next building. That was something else. Watching Dennis leaning over perpendicular to the meeting up ladder on the wall was quite a thing to see although on Sunday, he was bent over even further on the road beside his car. I don’t think it was an illusion? Shooters bar in the centre of Wanaka
was our next port-of-call, for drinks to cool us down, while we enjoyed
looking out over the lake. We set off
on our way to Cromwell, to Goose and June’s place where we enjoyed our lovely
Christmas meal and drinks. Santa was
very good to everyone, especially Mrs Santa.
I wonder why?...Something about a
Consul!!!! Santa gave us all very nice
gifts with the late arrivals getting theirs on Sunday. We said our farewells to some
, and headed for Hope you all have had a very good Christmas and Happy and Healthy 2002. . Tosh (Wanaka) Back to Top

Obituary
DOUG RYAN It is with a great deal of sadness that we note the
passing on of one of our club members last month. Doug Ryan passed away on All those who met Doug will remember the guy who was always there to help anyone at anytime. A guy who always had a grin on his face and a joke to tell, or play. Members of our club formed a ‘guard of honour’ at Doug’s funeral and Dave and Jenny Blain’s Mk2 Ute was used to take Doug on his final cruise. The Southland Zephyr and Zodiac Club, on behalf of all Zed people who knew Doug, wish to extend our deepest sympathy to Doug’s family. Back to Top |
