G'Day All,

The recent AGM proved to be a terrific evening those that appeared as “Australian Icons” certainly added to the fun I certainly have a whole new take on Ernie Dingo these days congratulations Dave on your award the Hills Hoist was priceless in its simplicity. The night was a lot of fun and a successful fund raiser for the club  thanks to all who supported it.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Tess and Joe onto the social committee the ongoing commitment of Doug, Dave Lance and Cheryl is also much appreciated as we approach our 20th. year as a club.

I thank Frey for offering to edit the newsletter and I ask you all to assist him with suitable material stories, photos of your motoring exploits. Its timely to reflect on the contribution of both Graham and Gerard they have both stepped aside from the committee after three years service. Graham, as president, took charge at a time when leadership was most needed your knowledge and experience helped bring the club to the position of strength we now find ourselves in 'Lions Pride' is indebted to you mate. 

Gerard, you really put in a huge effort with the social committee your attention to detail and focus on the bigger picture ensured that things happened as they should thank you mate.

Last, but not least, I would like to recognize Chris Martinis efforts with the newsletter your production skills and enthusiasm lifted the whole product to new heights your contribution was greatly appreciated .

I hope your health and situation is on the improve and look forward to seeing you before too long.

‘Lions Pride' has its 20th. birthday next year and such a milestone deserves to be celebrated we are a terrific club and our membership is our greatest asset If in twelve months time we have enjoyed our Holden’s and maybe made a friend along the way then it would have been a great birthday

Enjoy The Ride

Helpful hints

When you have to do some work on your beloved Holden. E.g. Exhaust, Suspension or even a gearbox. (Not that our Holden’s ever need repairing) not like those other models. If you come across stiff resistance in removing any bolt or nut. Try spraying some CRC or WD40 or similar lubricant into and around the bolt or nut and let soak for a while, you will be amazed at the difference this will make and hopefully you won’t snap the bolt or stud off.

Keep all 4 wheels on the ground.

Don’t Overestimate your Capabilities with your Expectations.
