VOCA GOOD COMPANIONS RALLY 2019 photos
Keith & Colleen Canning and Paul Barfoot
Please be patient with me as I find a way to create and upload all the rally photos you have sent so far in a more user friendly/higher quality way – been so busy since the rally have not had time to do it all so far – apologies to all those who send their images to me. I’ve had to delete another lot as the site that hosted the photo gallery had a virus.

The above link is to a Database form page for VOCA members to submit details on their machines, it is also a menu item at the top of the page.
Hopefully one day we can produce a modest booklet or similar so the history etc of our machines is captured and not lost over time.
The committee decided to have it made available on this VOCA website where everyone can fill it out and return it to Dominic so he can create the database – You can do this online and you do not have to add a signature to send it in.
Of course all details are strictly general in nature and no identification of the location of the machines is being requested other than which state it is located in.

Here are three copies of 1983 club newsletters, showing the before/ during/after writeups of the first NSW rally’s, which eventually morphed into what we all know and love as the Velocette Owners’ Club of Australia’s “Good Companions Rally”.
