2024 President's Picnic 28 January
Set back between 1950’s to 1970’s in America, this garden railway is actually in Lincoln, Canterbury, New Zealand. With many buildings, built from scratch, along with model cars the reality starts to come to life.
Come to New Zealand and ride the train at Pirfic Station. https://www.youtube.com/@PIRFICSTATION

Ian Armstrong Plate – 1969 Mercury Montego MX – Maria Van Nus
The Ian Armstrong Plate is presented to the best club car on display at USA Day. The plate was donated to the club by Ian’s wife Diane back in 2013 in memory of Ian. Ian was one of the GOOD BLOKES always willing to help with club events, hardworking – he set the standard for others to follow, good humoured always with a quick response with his very dry sense of humour. His 1971 Dodge Phoenix was one of his passions.
This was awarded to a club member.
