PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Last week we were visited by a group of NSW Peugeot Club members who toured the Tweed area.
They remarked on the beauty and relaxed nature of Northern NSW. Having stayed at Bonalbo and
coming to us via Kyogle, they had a fair sampling. No wonder our club is so strong with so many great
drives to enjoy right on our doorstep. We are lucky.
I see this as a comparison to a recent trip to Orange; itself a beautiful place but maybe not for us in
winter. The drive from Sydney airport over the mountains was extremely tedious. The time of day wasn’t
the best, driving into the afternoon sun. But what should have been a pleasant trip over the glorious
mountains was a stop-start affair with constant local traffic mixing with numerous heavy vehicles
westward bound. It looks like another freeway is needed, although I can’t see that happening.
In comparison I believe we are very fortunate, even though we sometimes complain about the roads.
As a bit of an aside. A small bus went missing in our recent floods. No one knew what happened to it as
most vehicles were recovered, if in somewhat sorry states. During cane harvesting it turned up in front
of a harvester in the middle of a field. I should imagine the operator got a surprise, even though a few
fridges, some small boats, logs and gas cylinders have turned up during the harvest as well. The debris
is making this year a slow harvest.
Keep enjoying this superb driving weather and put a few Kms under your tyres at our coming events
and coffee runs.
David Besson
“ A c c e l e r a t i o n s ” b y p o s t
At our Monthly Meeting on 2nd
August, a motion was passed that, from the 1st
January
2018, an annual charge of $20.00 would be made to Members who receive our
monthly Club Magazine “Accelerations” by post.
This charge would be ‘pro-rata’ for new Members joining the Club during the year.
To Members who now receive “Accelerations” by post, it might be a good time to review
your situation and save yourself $20.00.
If you are able to change to email, you should advise our ‘Magazine Editor’ Fiona Gordon
or ‘Assistant Editor’ Shirley Bryce. Contact details are shown on page 2 of
“Accelerations” each month.

Club Regalia
If any members are interested we do have the following club regalia for sale:
Metal Car Grill Badges $20.00, Cloth Badges $6.00, Sticker Badges $3.00
Club Name Badges
If any members wish to buy a club name badge, please contact Sue de Paauw. The badge has a small
logo and your name. You have the choice of a magnetic fastener (quite strong) or a more traditional pin
fastener. The badges cost $12.00.
Club Shirts
The club decided in 2015 to change the club shirt from the grey polo shirts to a button up chambray shirt
(either short or long sleeve). If any member wishes to purchase a shirt for use on club outings the
procedure is as below:
Purchase the shirt from George Gooleys, Lismore, they have all the necessary sizes and can provide
the best fit. Take the shirt to either Daleys ( 21 Woodlark St ) or MR Promotional Products (145 Keen
St) for embroidering of the logo. You have the choice of any/all of the following - club logo; club name in
letters; your name. Bring your receipt for the embroidery to the Treasurer and the club will refund $5.00
towards the cost.
Several members have expressed a desire to purchase the old club polo shirts. I have contacted the
lady who used to make the shirts for the club and she is willing to make more. I spoke to the Club
executive at the last meeting and they were agreeable for members to purchase either the old polo
shirts or the new chambray shirts. Therefore if anyone wishes to purchase the polo shirt please contact
me on 02 6683 2740 or see me at one of our meetings/outings. Sue de Paauw (Treasurer)
Who is this? A clue—she celebrates her birthday in September
