President’s Report
Hi Everyone,
I’m just back from America and now I’m about to hop on a plane to Greece for a week’s work on the Trans
Adriatic Pipeline. This pipeline is about 700 kilometres long and crosses Greece from the west to the east. I
just run training sessions on how to stabilise the soil and grow plants, so no digging for me. Hopefully next
month I’ll get to stay at home and keep working on one or two of my cars. How are yours going? Maybe it’s
time for you to send Keith an article on what you’ve been up to in your Morris. Last month’s meeting didn’t
take place due to lack of numbers, so everybody must be busy doing something!
We don’t have anything organised for Easter this year, but next year, 2018 is the big
one. If you haven’t already entered, please send you forms in soon. 71 people have
entered so far. Thank you very much Jill for all your efforts.
Good news at the last Shannon’s auction a 1927 Morris Commercial sold for $53,000
(must be a record) and a Bullnose sold for $10,500 (a bit low in my opinion).
Have fun and Happy Morrising Col

The Early Morris Vehicle Rally Monday August 28 to Friday September 1, 2017
Wagga Wagga, NSW
Following on from the success of the Cowley Centenary Rally held at Lake Hume Resort in 2015 and in response to numerous and repeated requests from owners of Vintage
Morrises, the Victorian Register has decided to stage an Early Morris Rally in August this year. This time the rally will be open to all Morris vehicles built before 1933, so will include Cammy Minors, Isis, Oxford Six, Empire Oxfords and Commercials.
In several states, the distances involved preclude many of the older cars from participating in normal club events and this rally, to be held over five days, will give the owners of these cars a rare chance to drive them.
The Morris Register of Victoria cordially invites any of your members who own Edwardian or Vintage Morrises to participate and we ask if you would be so kind as to publish the attached flyer and entry form in your next newsletter, and publicise it at club meetings. If you would like printed copies of either the flyer or the entry form, please let us know with an email to [email protected]. Both the flyer and the entry form include contact details for queries, and entry forms can also be downloaded fromwww.moreg.org.au EARLY MORRIS RALLY.
On behalf of the committee of the Victorian Register, many thanks for your co-operation and we look forward to catching up with our early Morris friends in August. Stephen Hands - President.
