SUMMARY:BCSV AGM & September Meeting: A look back at Noreng and Mee bodies
DESCRIPTION:The BCSV’s Annual General Meeting for 2016 was held on September 15 at Hawthorn Tram Depot. \n\n\n \n\n\nThe AGM was followed by a photographical history of both the Noreng and Mees bus body builders\, presented by Paul Kennelly. This is a follow-on from last year’s excellent presentation showcasing Cheetham & Borwick. \n\n\n \n\n\nAfter a number of younger members joined the committee in 2015\, we’d hope to see a couple of middle aged members step up to ensure the committee represents the full range of age groups within the society. \n\n\n \n\n\nMembers are warmly encouraged to nominate members to fill one of the following committee positions:\n\n\n* President \n\n\n* Deputy President \n\n\n* Secretary \n\n\n* Assistant Secretary \n\n\n* Publications Officer \n\n\n* Treasurer\n\n\n* Tours Officer \n\n\n* Social Meetings Officer\n\n\n* Historical Research & Archives Officer\n\n\n* Membership Officer \n\n\n* Safety Officer.\n\n\nElections will be held if more than one nomination is received for a role. \n\n\n \n\n\nWe’d also welcome those who wish to fill a general committee position. \n\n\n \n\n\nA small afternoon tea followed our feature presentation. Guests are welcome to attend the AGM along with the presentation but were asked to refrain from voting in the official proceedings. \n\n\n \n\n\nHawthorn Tram Depot is located at 8 Wallen Rd Hawthorn near the corner of Power Street. Tram Routes 70 & 75 stop near-by\, with Hawthorn Station on the Belgrave/Lilydale line a short 10 min walk.

SUMMARY:Hawthorn Tramways Trust Centenary Weekend (Melbourne & Ballarat)
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the centenary of one of Melbourne’s original electric tramway operators\, John Whiting arranged for a special weekend of events in both Melbourne and Ballarat. Due to low bookings\, a third day of events in Bendigo sadly had to be cancelled. \nSaturday 23 April saw an all day tour of Melbourne onboard two Z1 trams\, which had been sadly been withdrawn from service after 40 years the previous day. The day included a lunch stop at  Melbourne Tram Museum at Hawthorn Tram Depot\, where John Phillips presented his AEC Regal Mk3 to acknowledge the role the depot played over several years as training facility for government bus drivers. \nOn Sunday 24 April we travelled to Ballarat on a convoy of 3 buses tirelessly arranged by the BCSV tours committee. At Ballarat there were options to visit the tram museums at Ballarat and Haddon (including rides) or enjoy a paddleboat ride on Lake Wendouree. \n
