Quirindi 2021
report by Barry Hickson
Bob Sainsbury one of our original foundation members who now lives "way out West" at Nyngan has kindly sent the following report on the Quirindi Rally which was held on 30th April/1st May.
Our club was represented with a good contingent of 5 members. Dave Hartwig has his early International 1 H.P. , John Tyrrell had 2 small Air Cooled engines, a Tom Thumb & a Brownwill.Bob McColl took his Lister D & pump, Doug Williams had a Lister Junior & Bob Sainsbury took a rare Model D Fairbanks Morse which he sold over the course of the weekend. There were somewhere between 50 & 60 engines on display & there was a tractor pull & swap meet.
Warren Kemp a old mate from the Canberra Club won Best Engine with a great Sandwich Engine & Pump.
Bob said the ladies of the Quirindi Club served Egg & Bacon Rolls with Bubble & Squeak for Breakfast & he was relieved to find the "Squeak" was not a mouse from the recent plague which has affected Country areas!
Our chaps went to the RSL one night & had Chinese at the Bowling Club the following night for dinner.
Bob said it was a great weekend & they were made most welcome by the organisers & other exhibitors.
The Moruya Club even got a mention on the Quirindi Clubs Facebook page for supporting them in such good numbers.
Two pics below, 1 of Dave LH side & John far RHS with a couple of folk from another club & one of Dave's engine.
