Ashton’s President’s Prattle for July 2024
Well, there’s no doubting it is certainly winter! And that’s from someone freshly back from the Old Dart, so it really can’t be good.
However, it gives plenty of time to spend in the garage, or reading this new edition of Chunky’s, courtesy of a combined effort by Seth and Tom – thank you both!

Ashton’s President’s Prattle for June 2024
Hello from the delights of summer in the UK (in Flanders and Swan’s song, Farmers fear unkindly May, frost by night and hail by day.)
While it appears to have been a rather sudden introduction to winter in Australia, the planning for events ahead continues unabated. Most significant from a pre-planning perspective is the next biennial celebrations, which are slated for 7-10 March next year, based around “border country” between Victoria and NSW. Full details are still being ironed out, but accomodation is likely to be centred in Albury. So put it in the calendar now!
