February 2026: Valentine’s Day Working Bee
A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Dedicated Members

We extend a big thank you to all the members who participated in the Club's first working bee of the year. Despite the wet conditions outside, everyone eagerly jumped in to tidy up the main display area, giving the exhibits the attention they truly needed. The display area looks fantastic, and I’m confident that our visitors and guests will greatly appreciate your hard work.

Members are warmly invited to join our monthly working bees. While essential tasks are tackled, these gatherings also offer a wonderful opportunity for social interaction. Members can engage in conversation with one another, as well as with members of the public, all while enjoying the work at hand and savoring a cuppa and cream buns (or other delightful treats) during smoko time.

N.B.: These were just a few sneaky photos taken at the end of the day.

Save the date! August 7th for the Bundy Tractor Trek and August 8th and 9th for the The Bundy Rally, it is all on again this year with a cracker tractor trek on the Friday (50km this time to the Hosking Collection) and the usual great stuff you saw at our rally last year. The only difference this time is that we have ordered a nice sunny weekend. 😀We will have more information soon.

Happy Australia Day!! It's a wonderful occasion to celebrate the rich culture, history, and natural beauty of this incredible country. Whether you're enjoying a barbecue with friends and family, attending a local festival, or simply reflecting on the unique heritage of Australia, it's a day to embrace the spirit of unity and appreciation.

Craig Cooper is proudly flying the "JI Case" flag at the Allora Heritage Weekend with his beautifully restored 310. Drop in and see Craig and he will surely have time spare to tell you all about this restoration and the other Case tractors and equipment in his ever-growing collection.
