Jowett Car Club Pay A Visit: Founded in 1957, the Jowett Car Club is the world’s oldest continuously operating single make car club. Members drive from all over the country including Queensland, NSW, Victoria, Western and Southern Australia to take part in the club’s biennial rally. On Monday morning members headed to Canowindra in Bradfords and Javelins to have lunch at the Public School. They then checked out the Age of Fishes Museum and Canowindra Motors before getting ready to head home on Tuesday. Safe drive!

Happy Birthday Coot! Coot Grant celebrated his 60th birthday on Saturday with a surprise birthday party at Moorbel Hall. Coot was led to the hall and was shocked to see friends and family gathered there to share in the festivities, which carried on until way into the early morning.
