Presidents Message

Page 4 Edition No 1

Hello everyone

What an unusual few weeks ……….

When we first mooted the possibility of our own RV Club, I would not have foreseen the

“drama” that we have gone through, nor that we would have it up and operating in just 3 weeks.

But it happened and we are now operational.

“Congratulations” on becoming Foundation Members of the Roustabouts RV Club.

I would like to thank everyone for their encouragement and support that you have shared

with us over the past few weeks. It has been a trying time for a number of us, and it has been

your supportive emails and phone calls and your strong commitment to becoming members

and getting the new Club off and running that has made it all worthwhile.

Now, we need to take the next step and work towards creating the Roustabouts RV Club as

one of the most widely recognised, well run and organised clubs throughout the RV world.

Together, we can do that.

As the Inaugural President of the new Roustabouts RV Club brings with it many responsibilities

and I look forward to working with you to achieve our goals.

We are fortunate that over the past years, we have developed a pretty strong combination of

weekend musters, social events and the longer “Long Paddock drives”. This platform has served

our members well and I know that we can continue to improve from a successful base. In this

newsletter is a summary of some future musters and the future “long paddock drives” that are

scheduled over the next few years.

It is our club and as members we are in control of our own destiny. So don’t be afraid to put

forward your thoughts and ideas.

There are many advantages and opportunities for development and growth as our own club.

Just one of those advantages is our Affiliation with the Caravan Clubs of Queensland and

through them with the National Association of Caravan Clubs. This gives us contact with

over 134 caravan clubs throughout Australia and more than 15,000 fellow RV’ers. A strong

representative forum.

Your Executive will be working as quickly as possible to get our Incorporation approved by the

Queensland Office of Fair Trading; our Bank Accounts operational; Public Liability insurance and

affiliation with CCQ; as well as any other administrative hurdles that we might need to cover.

Judy and I look forward to catching up and sharing a drink or two with you at Canungra, and

then enjoying a relaxing Christmas lunch at the Moreton Bay Boat Club in Scarborough during

December.

If we don’t catch up between now and then. Best wishes to you all for the Festive season.

Cheers

Brian

Inaugural Meeting

Outcomes and Updates

Wow! We must have been doing something right

because we start the new club with fifty eight

members. Thank you all for the support you

have demonstrated.

What an inaugural meeting it was with thirty one

people in attendance, cheerios, pies, scones, buns,

cakes, sausage rolls tea and coffee were the order

of the evening at Estelle and Ian James home at

Victoria Point. Could you imagine what it

would’ve been like if the twenty one member

apologies had turned up … Greg Pilon might have

missed out on his scones..

Before I go any further, a huge thank you to Ian and

Estelle for allowing us to have our meeting at their

home.

I would also like to thank the twenty one

members who couldn’t attend but sent in their

votes anyway. Indeed, the makings of a great

club.

Club Name Thursdays meeting approved the name

Roustabouts RV Club and an ABN has been

organised and the business name now registered

with ASIC.

Club Executive Members

President: Brian Gill

Vice President: John Dillon

Secretary: Chris Lloyd

Treasurer: Karen DeBruin

Committee Members The meeting decided to advertise the following

committee positions and elect nominees at the

February muster.

Membership Off:

Publicity Off:

Muster and Event Off: Long Paddock Drive

Coordinator:

Incorporation The meeting agreed for the club to be

incorporated and paperwork has now been

submitted to the Qld Office of Fair Trading.

Expectations are the club will be incorporated by

the first muster.

Club Constitution Many hours of work have gone into our

constitution and by-laws and the meeting

discussed, requested some amendments and

approved them for the club.

The amendments have been inserted and future amendments to the constitution have to be

approved by the Office of Fair Trading (with a

fee) however by-laws can be amended at the

annual general meeting.

Bank Account The club will bank with the Bank of Queensland

at Kippa Ring and access to electronic trading will

be available to members. Our Treasurer will

be finalising the account in the next week or so.

Membership Joining fee: The fee is $5 per person, however

this is waived for members of

Brisbane Roustabouts who join

by 31 December 2016.

Annual Fee: $10 per member.

Our financial year is June to July. As our club

started earlier than anticipated, members who join prior to incorporation will have their annual

fee carry over to 1 July 2018.

Rig Fees The practice is collecting Rig Fees will continue as

these assist with statutory and affiliation fees; club

administrative and operational requirements.

For those of you unfamiliar with Rig Fees. This is

a fee paid by members when they attend a muster

(rally) and removes the need for raffles and other

money raising.

The fee structure is

Musters: $5 a rig

Long Paddock Drive: $20 a rig (Opal & Dinosaur trip). This fee covers

the cost of trip organisation and may increase in

future years.

Foundation membership Open to anyone who joins and pays their annual

fee prior to incorporation.

Meeting Outcomes Continued

Club Shirts Members had a variety of designs and colour

schemes to consider and the majority vote went

to the design illustrated on a blue shirt (small

photo) at the inaugural meeting.

.

Discussions are taking place

with the manufacturer for both

long and short sleeve polo

shirts. The process that allows us to have a photo

impregnated on the shirt is called sublimation.

The shirt is lightweight, polyester, wash and

wear, UV30 rated and the design does not wear

out. Pockets are however unable to be put on

shirts as it would go over the picture on the

shirt, not blend in with the photo.

Our Merchandising Team (Maria and Paul ) will

provide size information and prices as soon as

negotiations are finalised and orders taken.

Why an ABN We are an autonomous not for profit club and having an

ABN allows the Club to apply for government and

sporting grants.

Aussie Bush Etiquette

Aussie bush etiquette is recognized throughout

the civilized world but we all need to be

reminded from time to time.

In General

Never take an open stubby to a job

interview

Always identify people in your

paddocks before shooting at them

Its tacky to take an Esky to church

If you have to vacuum the bed, its time

to change the sheets

Even if certain you're included in the

will, its rude to take your Ute and

trailer to the funeral

Eating Out

When decanting wine from the box,

tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as

not to bruise the wine

If drinking directly from the bottle,

hold it with only one hand

Entertaining at Home

A centerpiece for the table should

never be anything prepared by a

taxidermist

Don’t allow the dog to eat at the table,

no matter how good his manners are

Personal Hygiene

While ears need to be cleaned

regularly, this should be done in

private, using ones OWN Ute keys

If you live alone, deodorant isn't a

waste of money

Extensive use of deodorant can only

delay bathing by a few days

Dirt and grease under the fingernails is

a no-no. It alters the taste of finger

foods: and if you are a women. It can

draw attention away from your jewelry

Theatre/Cinema Etiquette

Crying babies should be taken to the

lobby and picked up after the movie

ends

Refrain from yelling abuse at

characters on the screen. Tests have

proved they cant hear you

Weddings

Livestock is a poor choice for a

wedding gift

For the groom, at least rent a tux. A

tracksuit with a cummerbund and a

clean football jumper can create a

tacky appearance

Though uncomfortable, say ‘yes’ to

socks and shoes for the occasion

Driving Etiquette

When entering a roundabout, the

vehicle with the largest roo bar doesn't

always have the right of way

Never tow another car using pantyhose

and duct tape

When sending your wife down the road

with a petrol can, its impolite to ask

her to bring back beer as well.

Long Paddock Drive

Roustabout RV Club organises and manages a range of fully escorted RV travelling

holidays under the banner of Long Paddock Drives.

Drives are open to anyone with an RV wishing to take the trips.

You do not need to be a member of the Club and there is no compulsion to

attend a Long Paddock Drive. Attendees can even choose their start and finish

locations.

Different from a tagalong, a Long Paddock Drives provide planned itineraries,

pre-booked discounted accommodation, events and tours on behalf of

participants and in addition, a support team (Boss Drover, Head Stockman

and Ringer) travel on the trip to assist participants as necessary and provide

administrative and operational back up support.

Many of our Clubs Outback Drives tour remote areas of our country for

extended periods and the Club believes that the security and safety of

participants (especially those on their first adventure) is paramount.

These drives could travel on all bitumen, part bitumen/part off road or all off

road. The emphasis is on providing a supportive approach to the travellers, many

of whom may be inexperienced caravanners.

The drives are staged annually with their organisation starting two years prior to

the event. This organisation ensures everyone gains maximum enjoyment on the

holiday.

Please note the itinerary is subject to change up to a few months from the Long

Paddock Drive commencement date. All amendments are notified to those who

have expressed an interest in attending.

Commitment to attend?

Expressing an interest to attend does not commit to going; it indicates you’re

interested in going and wish to have more information as it occurs. Expressing an

interest gives organisers improved negotiation ability. Payment of requested

deposits at least six months out formalises your attendance.

Whet your Interest?

To obtain a fully detailed itinerary and brochure or express an interest to attend,

please contact our Long Paddock Drive Coordinator on 0412 614 260 or email

the Club Office at [email protected]
