A short discussion was held on taking the vehicles to events.
The topics surrounded insurance requirements including “Load”
insurance the hauler typically has, the Event insurance to insure against loss. q
The club had 5 vehicles at
the recent Burnet Air Show. Everyone
was in period correct uniform and Danny brought his bbq pit where we cooked food
and had a good time. Not much of
the air show was viewed as we have seen it a dozen times before. q
A discussion occurred
about taking up the museums offer to place a membership display in the museum to
promote our activities. We agreed
to use Harry’s jeep as the display area and place a 4x4 post with a shadow box
containing club materials on it. We
will also have the sandwich board, membership applications, meeting
time/location information and the web site posted.
The museum receives 17,000 visitors a year so we have an excellent
opportunity to potentially solicit new members from this traffic. A motion was made, accepted and approved to allow Danny to
spend up to $150 to complete the display. New
