vale - ron dawson
It is with much sadness that the family advises that Dad passed away in his sleep, He made the decision to have his pacemaker/defibrillator turned off last week and it was in the hands of the gods from then.
We thank all who visited him or checked in. Ron will be missed greatly by all club members, he was a wealth of information and offered his advice freely to all. Rest in peace Ron. Request for help!
I have a rather odd request I was hoping you could help me with. I work for an exhibition design company and in June 2020 we are opening a touring exhibition which will travel Australia for approximately 18 months, going to museums in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.The exhibition details are still confidential, but it is to celebrate the 100th anniversary of an Australian national icon. One of the stories we wish to tell in the exhibition involves a road trip in 1919 which was done in Model T Ford and we would love to find a Model T Ford to display alongside this story. The vehicle is quite specific, it was an old army Model T Ford that had a large wooden tray fitted to the rear of the vehicle, making it more like a utility. We are open to either purchasing a vehicle (don’t have a huge budget for this) or coming to a loan/rental agreement with the owner. If loaned, the owner would have to be comfortable with us “dressing" the vehicle to match the story i.e. hanging canvas water bags, spare tyres, petrol cans etc. We are very experienced with dealing with historical artifacts and have a conservator who would be able to provide condition reports when the vehicle is moved between venues. If loaned, the owner would also be acknowledged on the object label displayed beside the vehicle. The car doesn’t have to be operable, or even have the engine in it! To be honest, the more run down the better, because then we could customise the tray if need be. Regards, Natalie Hardbattle Contact Natalie on natalie.hardbattle@frd.com.au if you can assist. Change of Committee Structure
The following minute from the general club meeting on the 21st of Feb re the correction of the number of committee members and the appointment of the Operations committee. 1. The management Committee advised that It had been noted that the number of people elected to the committee was greater than allowed under the constitution of the club. Prior to the meeting all committee members who were elected at the 2013 annual general meeting were notified by mail and prior to the opening of this meeting the resignation of Ron Dawson was accepted (with thanks) and Phil Campbell accepted that being elected as the events coordinator did not automatically confer membership of the Management committee. 2. The management committee advised that they had appointed a sub committee known as the Operations committee which would consist of the members of the management committee, the events coordinator, the duty officers, and the registration inspectors. |
