UITSTAPPIE SONDAG 17 FEB. 2008

2008-03-06T09:23:00.003+02:00

Altesame 13 motors, Andre en Marlene, Jan en Drieka, Fred en Alma, Ernie en Jeanette, Dirk en Sylvia, Ted en Marie, Harry en Dianne, Terry en Pam, Des en Wendy, Leon en Daleen, Albie en Joan, Gordon en Elise sowel as Marius en Louanna Cronje en gesin het Sondagoggend bymekaargekom om aan die uitstappie na Paulpietersburg toe deel te neem.

Bonamanzi (Paulpietersburg se dam) is die ideale plek om te besoek vir 'n piekniek. Die geriewe daar is uitstekend. Daar was selfs ‘n skiboot op die dam! Baie dankie aan John en Jenetta Darlow vir die houtskool wat hulle geskenk het om die braaivleis vure mee aan te steek.

Die ou motors het almal baie goed gery ten spyte van die warm weer en die moontlikheid dat die verkoelers dalk die hitte sal voel en begin kook. 'n Baie gesellige dag is deur almal geniet en ons sien uit na volgende maand se uitstappie. Hopelik sal daar weer 13 of meer motors wees om deel te neem. Volgende maand se uitstappie gaan ‘n “club-run” wees en daarna sal almal by die klubhuis bymekaarkom om lekker gesellig saam te verkeer.

Die manne is besig om "kos te kook" by Bonamanzi Dam by Paulpietersburg.

Year end Rally and Social.

2008-02-03T16:44:00.001+02:00

On Saturday 24 November 2007 the club held its annual year end rally and social. Only 14 cars braved the bad weather as the heavens opened up just before the rally was due to start. The route which was planned by last year's winner, Cassie Lourens, together with Gordon Lemmon-Warde, was about 60km long. One of the tasks was too stop at a certain point on the route and pick up a green pebble for the vintage cars, and a red pebble for the classics. Fortunately the whole route was on tar road, but some of the cars experienced wiper problems in the rain. Luckily everybody got back safely. Each navigator had to then hand in their time-schedules to the officials. While everybody left for home to prepare for the social, the officials then calculated who the winners were.

That night, after a delicious dinner, the results were announced. Congratulations to the following members:

Winner of the Vintage section in his 1932 Dodge was Harry Heyns.

Winner of the Classic section in his 1964 Jaguar was Hendrik Delport.

The annual prize-giving then followed with the winners of the various categories being announced:

The trophy for best restored vehicle for 2007 went to Glen Rae with his 1930 Model A Ford.

The Lood Krause trophy for best attendance during 2007 was won by Allan Holmes.

Special awards were given to four of our members who turned 75 during 2007. They being Fred Laas, John Darlow, Dirk de Beer and Teddy Hermann. Congratulations!

Special acknowledgement was given to two of our founder members, 2007 being our 10th anniversary. They being Leon Oelofse and Harry Heyns.

Gordon Lemmon-Warde welcomed Andre Cronje as the new incoming Chairman.

After all the formalities were completed, everyone continued to enjoy themselves well into the evening.

A Brief History of the Vryheid Vintage Car Club

2007-11-10T19:49:00.000+02:00

In the mid nineties Lood Krause and Harry Heyns discovered that they had a mutual passion for old cars. Leon Oelofse, who shared this interest, would join them for an occasional run with the old cars, and they were later joined by Charl Oberholzer. Lood always felt that they should start a club, and although Harry was more hesitant, a mutual decision was reached in 1997 that a club must be formed.

In March 1997 the VVCC was started, and soon started growing despite the fact that there was no clubhouse. Initially meetings were held at the Flying Club, but it was felt that the R50.00 a night fee charged was too high and that an alternative venue should be found.

For a short while meetings were held at Harry's office at Glenbar until he was able to clear out a storeroom located behind the office which was to become the clubhouse. At this stage there were about 10 members and, as this venue was fast becoming too small, Harry offered to give up half of the garage which was attached to the clubhouse. Before long however, even this space proved too small and Harry had to relinquish the remainder of the garage and find alternative parking for his beloved old cars.

The clubhouse is now about 80sq. m. and has been upgraded with a beautiful pub, braai area and toilets – a far cry from its humble beginnings! Membership currently stands at about 45, with members living in Vryheid, Paulpietersburg, Melmoth, Dundee and Pongola. Collectively the members own more than 100 cars – the oldest being two 1928 Model A Fords and a 1928 Chrysler. The standard of restoration of the vintage cars in general is very high and members take great pride in their gleaming oldies.

Attendance at meetings, which are held on the first Thursday of every month, is high and averages out at about 70%. There is a great spirit in the club and good participation in all activities. The club has one social evening and one Sunday run once a month, as well as an annual run to Pietermaritzburg Cars in the Park where there is always a fantastic turnout. National tours all over the country have been organised, and these have been most enjoyed by all who participated.
