May 25th proved to be a rainy day for the Club’s annual Spring Safety Checks event but in spite of that Chris and Rose Brancacchio’s facilities proved perfect for both the car checking and mid-day barbecue activities!

Participant’s cars kept Chris’s shop fully occupied throughout the day plus to add to the atmosphere of the day a number of members arrived in cars that had been recently checked and therefore didn’t require shop space at this time.

Besides Chris and Rose’s generosity regarding the use of their facilities particular recognition must also be accorded to JR Smith for coordinating the event, to Kathy Chudek and Rose for organizing the luncheon, to Keith Robinson for tending the barbecue, and to Murray Walkemeyer, Paul Chudek, Gary Callander and the rest of the stalwarts whose mechanical expertise and advice served to make this year’s edition of our Safety Checks day another success.

It is almost that time of year, as the snow continues to melt again, as we are all contemplating preparing our ‘pride and joy’ for another season of touring. As you begin to dust off those cob webs and provide a good cleaning, a safety check should always be included as your spring ritual.

Why should you be performing a complete safety check on your Model A?

1. It provides the owner with peace of mind of their vehicle and personal safely and security.

2. It provides a check of safety requirements to determine road readiness and if anything requires immediate attention for repair or replacement.

3. It indicates to the Government of Alberta that the owner takes pride in safety of their Model A.

4. It lets others know each Model A owner is truly a responsible hobbyist.

5. It provides enjoyment in assisting others to complete their safety check.

6. It provides for a tremendous opportunity of learning by our knowledgeable Club members.

7. It provides for lots of GREAT conversations and reminiscing.

8. It provides a socialization atmosphere over a gourmet BBQ luncheon. Thanks again Kathy!

May 25th proved to be a somewhat misty and dampish day for the first Show & Shine to be hosted by participants in the Bowness High School’s Automotive program.

The day proved to be well attended nevertheless inclusive of the support of several SCMAFC members who represented the Club but who ended up having to depart mid-day because our own Club’s Spring Safety Check event for 2019 was scheduled for the same day.

Once again Kathy Chudek did an excellent job of organizing this event with 11 members and 7 of the Club’s Model A’s participating.

As always the seniors at this centre were most appreciative and many spent an inordinate amount of time reminiscing about their early years and the old Fords they remember. Even the weather cooperated 100%.

Following the Show and Shine portion of the day participants were treated to an appreciative barbecued supper at the Heather and Serge Rousseau place. Some of you may recall that Heather was Kathy’s long term interface for this annual event and Serge not only did a significant amount of volunteer welding on the Club’s award winning AA truck project but is currently also providing a bit of advice and assistance to Michael Callander in conjunction with his 1928 76-A Open Pickup restoration project.

Participants this year included; - - Dianna Adams, Dan Adams, Jim Callander, Mary Callander, Kathy Chudek, Paul Chudek, Irene Rigby, Ron Rigby, Keith Robinson, Ross Rodman, and JR Smith.
