27Photos
This great event has resumed and was as good as ever. It originally started as MADD - motor appreciation day last century. Lots of interesting vehicles including hot rods and modifieds. There were very few bikes on show, however. Seems as though veteran and vintage car attendance is also in decline, although some were hot rods. About 10% of the slightly more than 250 vehicles displayed were MCMA cars.

2023-02 Maitland Show Grand Parade
31Photos
Under heat wave conditions we participated in the Maitland Show Grand Parade on February 18th along with some Harley Davidsons, MGs and lawnmowers. We had 24 vehicles representing MCMA that were led in the parade by our flag bearer, Mick, in his Holden Maloo. The organisation of the event was a little questionable and MCMA showed everyone how to do it with cars in order, oldest to newest. Additionally, each car its own story which was printed and read by the commentator.

Our one day local rides continue in 2023 with this ride led by Norm. We 'chased' the gravel through Sawyers Gully, Nulkaba, Pokolbin, Cedar Creek, Wollombi, Laguna, Kulnera, Watagan State Forest and Cooranbong. Despite two closed service stations (re-fills?), a long wait for lunch, a closed forestry road and a minor 'spill' it was a great ride of 260 kilometres whilst the support vehicles did 300 kilometres.

Our Christmas Party at Telarah Bowling Club was another great event with 79 in attendance. A two course traditional Christmas lunch (main and dessert) was prepared and served by Kelly and her staff. It was excellent. Sadly we have to farewell Kelly and her team as they are moving on. We played some trivia games - Australian cars, famous Australians, and Australian rock anthems. The raffle raised over $1000 for our charities. Santa visited and gave away the raffle prizes that were kindly donated by our sponsors.

This was an excellent event with about 100 vehicles displayed and about 150 participants. Due to COVID this has been our first concourse show 'n shine since 2019.

Euro Motorfest was held on June 26th after being postponed because of last week's rain. Again, it was very successful with the organisers reporting 250 cars on display. Interestingly, more and more newer cars, especially exotics, are appearing at these shows. It is no longer the domain of historics and classics. Around noon a Torana SLR5000 turned up, but didn't stay very long. There is always someone!!!

MCMA members were invited to display historic vehicles at this absolutely wonderful day. Only five vehicles were displayed - Ian's two BMW R75s, Neil's VW Synchro, Mick's Austin and Ian's Rover.

2022-04 Off-the-Bitumen rides from Binnaway

During the last week of March eleven of us ventured to Binnaway in the Central West. We stayed at the restored railway barracks which proved ideal for our needs. Wherever possible our rides were on gravel with us riding about 800 kms in three days. We rode to Gulgong and return, Gilgandra and return and Spring Ridge and return. This was fabulous riding and we have decided to make this an annual ride.

We arrived at Mount Seaview Resort well after 2:00 pm. Seaview is 60 kms west of Wauchope on the Mid North Coast. On Thursday, we brought our own thermos and had morning tea in the bush with some Christmas cake and pudding. Lunch (salad sandwiches) was provided by the Seaview cafe/restaurant. Everyone had a map and after an early start, we went north on Forbes River Road and tried to get to Bellbrook. A deep creek crossing with a steep slippery bank (see photos) forced a change of plan with us riding via Mounts Boss and Banda Banda to Wilsons River for lunch. The road was closed! Having previously enjoyed morning tea at Cameron's Camp, we dined there again for lunch.150 kilometres of mostly gravel trails was enjoyed by all. Despite plans to go up the Oxley Highway and south down Knodingbul Road towards Wingham and return, wet weather forced an early pack up and return home.

We have two three Christmas Parties each year - Christmas in July, Christmas in December, and our Mid-Week Christmas Party also in December. Our Christmas Party on Sunday December 19th had 93 booked, although due to concerns about the local COVID outbreak, 87 attended. We met Telarah Bowling Club at 10:30 am for a short run through Keinbah, Greta, Elderslie, Luskintyre and Lochinvar arriving back at the TBC at 12:00 noon for a Christmas drink followed by a traditional two course hot lunch at 12:30 pm. We were entertained by member John Milburn who played guitar favourites and some Christmas carols, including two that we sang along with. We played three options games with boxes of chocolates for the winners, and drew the raffles. There were many fabulous prizes won, and our charities (Riding for the Disabled and Little Wings) benefited to the tune of $640.

2021-10 Bobs Folly Farewell

This was our first post-lockdown run. We farewelled the Bobs and Hector on their folly. We met at Bakers Cottage for coffee and then to St Mary’s Anglican Church for a short service and blessing of the Rolls Royce. This was 'a bit of a shock' for some of our members! About 40 members in 23 cars then followed the Rolls Royce for a trip to Wollombi with lunch at The Tavern and Myrtle House Cafe. Mid afternoon, the Bobs and Hector departed for Broke (overnight) escorted by Gordon (Citroen) and Ian (Rover). The Bobs and Hector will tour western Victoria and South Australia (hopefully) before returning mid-November for our Nundle 'off-the-bitumen' bike rides. The Rolls will later be shipped to the United Kingdom where it will be re-united with Bob for the Rolls Royce centenary celebrations of the launch of the 20 hp model.

This Sunday July 18th event is our first poker run for many years. These are always a challenge because large parking areas are needed for each deal. Sunday football stole some of the better carparks, but we persisted. Thirty-seven people attended and the winners of a box of chocolates each were Meagan Garland (three kings), Barb Elphick (three jacks) and Mick Walton (three 10s). Lunch was at The Beatty Hotel at East Gresford and was very well-received by members. Rusty Bucket played many '60s and '70s covers and were very popular with members.

This year's event was well attended under very fine skies, with many vehicle manufacturers represented. There were some notable exceptions such as Lancia, Citroen, Saab, Rolls Royce, Riley, Armstrong Sidderley and Renault. Organisation and registration, given the new COVID-19 restrictions, were excellent. Disappointingly, the same could not be said for the presentation and egress from The Foreshore Park. Eight MCMA vehicles (5 British, 1 French, 1 Italian and 1 German) were displayed with club banners and flags.
