VALE VOCA LIFE MEMBER DICK TAYLOR
It is with great sadness that we advise that our very much admired and highly respected WA clubmate and friend and VOCA Life Member Dick Taylor has passed away after a short illness at the age of 95.
Dick was a regular rally attendee right up until his 90’s and a lifelong Velo man. With his brothers Syd and Don, wives Connie (Dick), Delores (Don) and Jocelyn (Syd) always by his side many will remember them with great affection from the rallys.
Dick was a vital part of our club and other motorcycle clubs and always willing to put his hand up to help out, particularly if there was good red plonk involved.
Dick was one of the finest gentleman that you could wish to meet and his cry of “here, hold my glasses while I sort this bloke out” if he took umbridge about something will forever be with us in our memories of the great times we shared.
We extend our most sincere condolences to Connie and his family at this sad time.
Syd and Dick Taylor – gone but not forgotten.

MEMBERS MACHINE DATABASE FORM
The club has a Database form page for VOCA members to submit details on their machines, it is one of the menu item at the top of the page. All details will remain private and for club officials use ONLY.
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 Brown so he can create the database – once completed click on the “SUBMIT” button
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.
GOOD COMPANIONS RALLY – WHERE IT ALL STARED
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”.
(Thanks go to Paul Barfoot for sending me the copies)
