Big Bertha: Rising from the Ashes

Last year the Club sent a donation to the Big Bertha rebuild effort.

Here is an update and some photos by way of Jan:

Good afternoon Jan,

Ashley Lucas from NZ 4 Wheel drive Magazine has handed me over a cheque from the treasurer at the club for $200.00 to put towards the rebuild.

Please thank the members very much for the help as every little bit helps.

We have had some great response from a number of people touched by the story, and some made keen just to see the truck
just back up and running.

After 13 years of fundraising and helping the kids, I just couldn't see her go this way so it's been heartening to have had such
great support.

Attached are a few of the photo's of where things were 18 months ago and how we are looking now, as you will agree, a huge
transformation, although there is still a long way to go.

Even as we speak the windows have been finished and she is on her way to Fleet Image in Hamilton for painting so things are
moving along.

Thanks again and kind regards

Andrew, Bev and Big Bertha
