“Warts ‘N All”

Country P76 Club


EDITORIAL

Welcome to the first newsletter of the Country P76 Club.
Somehow one husband has conned me into being editor of our magazine called “Warts ‘N All”.
This name came about from Michael saying when he is buying something “Well we are buying it “Warts and All”.
We have had a few cars like that over the years.
The Cootamundra members decided to form a club to drive our P76’s because we are so far removed from any other clubs.
Our only way of being in touch with other members is through the internet, thanks to Adrian.
We are members of the NSW Club and WA Club and are also grateful for information received from these clubs.
The weekend of 4th & 5th December, we will be hosting about twelve cars from the Sydney Club, and invite all close P76 owners to join us at Cootamundra for a fun weekend.
2006 we will host the 'P76 National Rally' and can assure all P76 owners of a great time.
We have a lot to do around Cootamundra and district. We have the War bird’s museum at Temora, liquorish factory at Junee and Rail museum.
PJ’s jam factory at Young and many more visitors centers that we are sure you will enjoy.
Michael and I have been rally directors for many years, and know what is needed to make a great rally.
Last year at our bi-annual wattle time rally we had 174 cars entered.
That was our last wattle time rally as rally directors because of medical problems, but it is a record we are proud of.
Because of our first love of the Model A Ford and their rally being held every second even year, it clashes with the P76 Nationals.
In 2006 for the once only time it is not being held at Easter but later in the year to co-inside with the Bay to Birdwood run in SA, this allows us to be able to do the P76 National.
We have a very enthusiastic group of members, who are willing to help us make the National one you will all remember.
Our members are
Fred and June Holland who has a Bold as Brass superV8
Eddie Sams has a Dry Red 6cylinder Deluxe
Craig & Susan Hugo Country Cream V8 Super
Guy & Agnes Graham Omega Navy V8 Targa Florio
Brian & Helen Maddaford Bitter Apricot Executive V8
Ray & Sharon Douglas are looking for a car
Michael & Gwen Livingstone (Aspin Green Targa Florio V8, Bold as Brass 6 cyl. 4 speed, Oh Fudge V8 4 speed.
Michael is getting nearly as bad a James Metiplay with another P76 to arrive in the fleet soon. (more Later about that one).
Our shed consists of
1928 A Model Ford Woody
1928 A Model Ford racer
1928 A Model Ford Tudor
1931 A Model Ford Fire Engine (Only one in Australia)
1955 FJ Panel van (bought new by my parents)
and the Leyland P76’s above. Not much room for anything else.
Each month we will feature one of our members so you will get to know the members of our Club.
Fred & June Holland are our members for this month.
Hope you will enjoy “Worts ‘N All”
To our members and fellow P76 owners may you and your families have a very Merry Christmas and a very happy 2005.
Hope Santa brings you all you want for your P76.
Gwen Livingstone
