The
executive meeting in London was well attended and a considerable amount of discussion
was centered around rallies for '06. Our secretary will outline what rally information
is firm and what needs input from the regular members of the Chapter. Remember
that the executive committee takes action on rally input suggested by members
and will offer guidance to any member or members who wish to host a rally. We
need your help!
One rally
which I hope you will consider attending is one which was proposed in a motion
by Don Crawfod and seconded by Dennis Dunning that the Ontario Overlanders co-host,
with the Northern Lights Chapter, a rally to be held July 13-16 at Dayton, Ohio.
For aeronautical buffs this should be a great one. Full details to follow in the
next newsletter. Since most
of our rigs are in winter hibernation this is a good time to start planning which
rallies you will attempt to attend and please give full attention to the registration
forms supplied, particularly the "cut-off" date. This provides the host(s)
with a firm idea of how many participants to provide for, and the necessary funds
to work with. With Stratford
being our first rally of the year I hope to see a good representation of our membership
and will meet each and every attendee with the familiar Overlanders greeting.
We will have a general meeting at this rally so please bring your gripes and ideas
for the betterment of the Chapter with you and make yourself known. Until
the next newsletter please feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail with anything
you feel is pertinent to the well being of the Chapter and I will get back to
you as expediently as possible. If
you know of anyone who is ill or recovering from illness or surgery please let
the secretary or myself know so that we may extend the best wishes of the Chapter
for a speedy recovery. May God bless you all and until we meet later safe travels
in the wintery weather. Hugs
to all Peter |
