(1) South Qld and Northern NSW Lunch
SQld & Nth NSW Club Lunch
Our recent luncheon at “Curly’s On the Boardwalk” in Mt Coolum was as usual a wonderful day of reminiscing and enjoying beautifully prepared food. As it also included a celebration of Jim’s life and that of Trish Kennedy, I felt it appropriate that I emphasise the benefits of belonging to a Club, particularly one so welcoming as our own South Queensland and North New South Wales Region of ATRVC Inc.
In 2004 we had a small window of four months to chase our dream of doing the “BLOCK”. Always practical, we had noticed an “ad” in a travel magazine re the benefits of joining this Club, including towns and phone numbers if needing help or advice, and so we became No 311. Fortunately, we had no dramas and had organised a very full itinerary so became silent members.
Jim suffered some serious health problems in 2006 including Macular Degeneration and wisely handed in his drivers’ licence. As we still wanted to enjoy travelling, I took up the challenge of towing the Van on the proviso that we would make use of our Club Membership.
Well! One rally with the Club and we were hooked. The members were so helpful and caring, we seldom missed a gathering. They gave me confidence in driving and Jim always knew if he needed help it was readily available. Our family knew if a Club function was on, that time was NOT NEGOTIABLE - we would be going. Age has caught up with some of those members, but others still come as visitors to some of our gatherings and many new members have become like family to us as Jim’s health slowly deteriorated. With an open mind and a good sense of humor, a Club group such as this can be life changing, and finally, can I leave you with these thought-provoking words called “INNERPEACE”:
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains.
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without medical help,
If you conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without alcohol,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then you are probably “THE FAMILY DOG”

(A6) Advice from the ATRVC Committee re Covid 19 virus pandemic
*** IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MEMBERS ***
Hi members,
The Club Committee has recommended that we cancel all get togethers until 30th April in light of the Covid19 virus pandemic. The Committee is concerned that the majority of our members are in the high risk age group and that the weight of medical advice at the moment is for this group to stay at home as much as possible to reduce their risk of contracting the virus.
Where the organiser of a get together elects to continue, then members need to assess for themselves and understand the risks they are taking. It is also important to note that any member who did contract the Covid19 virus at a get together would not be covered under the ATRVC insurance policies. All current health guidelines are to be followed.
The Committee will continue to monitor the pandemic situation in relation to the National Rally at Myrtleford scheduled in October and a decision will be made about it’s viability at the end of May.
We will endeavour to keep all members fully informed of advice as it comes to hand.
Stay safe and keep well!
