The meeting was opened at 7.30 pm by President Trevor

Anita Clarke from Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers.
Visitor presentation: Jeff Brown introduced Anita
Clarke who is a consultant working with the Toowoomba
Carnival of Flowers. Anita explained that the Carnival
of Flowers has been designated Major Event status
by the State government and she spoke about the
promotional leverage this offers Toowoomba and
DDVVMC. She outlined what is planned regarding
the classic car garden tours during the Carnival of
Flowers. Anita proposed that the tours will depart
from the Cobb & Co Museum. Insurance would prevent
members accepting a fee for the use of their cars but
reimbursement would be made to cover fuel costs. A
request was put to members to ascertain how many
would be willing to make their cars available for the
classic garden tours and 5 members indicated interest.
Minutes: It was moved by John Parker, seconded by Joe
Ciantar that that the minutes of the general meeting

are limited to 90 and George has 11 non-club members
on the waiting list. We need to be at Warwick by 7.30am

Management Committee positions need to be submitted

5. Swap Insurance – President Trevor reported that
some large swap operators have had an insurance
condition imposed on them which requires every site
holder to have public liability insurance. The only
workable option is for the swap operator to arrange
blanket insurance cover and to add the cost onto the
swap site fee. This is a matter that needs to be kept
under watch for our swap.
6. Carnival of Flowers Car Show – Moved by Ebony
Allum, seconded by Harry Brazier that DDVVMC run

ENGLISH TO BE OFFICIAL EU LANGUAGE
The European Commission has just announced an
agreement whereby English will be the official language
of the European Union rather than German, which was
the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government
conceded that English spelling had some room for
improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan
that would become known as “Euro-English”.
In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly,
this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard
“c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up
konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond
year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”.
This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling
kan be expekted to reach the stage where more
komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double
letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate
speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in
the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from
vords kontaining “ou” and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a
reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find
it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop
vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like
zey vunted in ze forst plas.

PIERCE ARROW’S FINAL OFFERING
8 Hispano Suiza
9 Western Star
10 Lincoln
In an effort to save the Company in 1936 when some
of the last cars were being assembled, the once proud
Pierce-Arrow Company set a course to enter a new
market. The automaker began building an outstanding
new product, a luxury travel trailer named the PierceArrow Travelodge.
This photo shows a 1937 Pierce-Arrow V-12 Limousine
and a Pierce-Arrow Travelodge travel trailer, two of the
last vehicles to roll out the door before the end came in
1938.
