The last BMWOR Committee Meeting in Auckland, for who knows how long 'twill be, was held on Monday 8th November, and it segued into the first Auckland Area social meeting, leaving some of the senior members with a distinct look of, “What happens next?” upon their faces.That expression is understandable: there would be NO Register if it wasn't for those people, and it is now boldly going in directions they had not contemplated when they set it up, back in the day.................What will happen for starters is that the Vintage Car Clubrooms are paid for up to June, so that is where our meetings will be, at least until then (same Bat-time, same Bat-channel).  In fact there is a strongly held wish of most of those present on the 8th, whether oldies or newbies, to continue at that venue, with a possibility that we may at some future time have to ask for a gold coin or some such on attendance to cover hire of the rooms.  We certainly wouldn't find another venue for comparable dollars, let alone a venue with built in kit for showing videos, photos and so on.  And that is a huge bonus to us, given some of the trips our members make: there are a wealth of stories and pictures to be told and seen yet before I'll ever get sick of it.There will be meeting on the 13th December, and we will do something seasonally silly, no bout adoubt it.  Watch this space for details, and I will also post another mass email to those of you that have given John Wuts an up to date email address when you renewed your membership.The subject of forming a formal "branch" of BMWOR in Auckland was very quickly touched on, and very quickly discarded.  When we get to about 400 members in Auckland I might want to review my thinking on that, but I think it's a good decision.  What has been set up is a very informal Steering (Stirring?) Committee consisting of Rob Hargreaves, Jim Young, Rob Waters and me, your faithful Area Rep that nobody wanted to replace, in case they had to do it.  So if you have a bee in your bonnet, or a bright idea, or a point you think we should be taking on board, get in touch with one of us.  The Fab Four, that's us!
