Dad's Army News
A busload of Dad's Army stalwarts attended the Christmas function at Whiteman Park.
After morning tea we were bussed to the Bus Preservation Society of WA workshop where
we enjoyed a guided tour of the workshops. The buses were in every state from immaculately
restored to fit for spares and the members of the society were busy with every stage of
restoration and maintenance. The bus we rode on was an underfloor engine Leyland,
ex-MTT, and I am sure the seats were more comfortable than on the brand new Volvo I rode
in recently.
Graeme Whitehead and Terry Le May organised the food and drinks and they were, as ever,
excellent. There was a rush of members to make sure that Graeme didn't lift anything
heavier than a fork after his recent back surgery.
From the workshop, we returned to the shelter and partook of a delicious lunch before
going our separate ways.
Back at the clubrooms, there was work going on with the Caversham Car, but Ron Fabry
(left) and Denny Cunnold (right) seemed to be lying down on
the job. No doubt they can both explain...
For 2017, there are now three Dad's Army
days each month. The Workshop Saturday
will be on the first Saturday and Dad's
Army Tuesday on the last Tuesday of each
month, but there will be a Dad's Army
Working Bee on the second last Tuesday.
Check the calendar for dates.
Of course the dates are subject to change
when they coincide with public holidays or
race meetings.
