A fantastic day and brilliant turnout saw 78 Mustangs arrive at Glentunnel for the 2022 Canterbury Mustang Owners Club Picnic and Awards. A big congratulations to all our well deserving recipients and huge thanks to all the organisers. You will not want to miss the next one! Pictures courtesy of Marcel Koks

With the cancellation of last year’s CMOC Christmas Lunch, we lost our usual opportunity for the presentation of our club’s annual awards. It was an easy choice for us to substitute the New Year Picnic as an appropriate occasion,especially given the lovely surroundings of the Glentunnel Domain, and the great turnout we always have. Plus this year we had the added feature of the great spit-roast lunch that CMOC shouted, replacing our normal subsidy for the Christmas lunch.

Whilst a number of recipients weren't able to attend due to holidaycommitments, CMOC Vice President Ray van Hamelsveld and long standing
Committee member and life member Rick Paulsen did the honours with two of the special awards …….

Most Enthusiastic Member Award
Our 2021 recipients are Thomas and Janette Chin, not only for their magnificent track record of attendance at our events and activities, but their willingness to roll up their sleeves and volunteer their help and assistance, in any way required. Well done, and thanks, Janette and Thomas!

Spirit of the Canterbury Mustang Owners Club Award & Trophy
Now in its sixth year, this premier award and trophy recognises a number of factors, including enthusiasm, effort and hard work in support of our Club and our activities, positive attitude, involvement, and friendship and being connected to other members. For 2021, the Committee was unanimous and
quick to agree that Patrick Forde and his family Grace and Nickola were the obvious choice recognising their constant efforts to support and reinforce
CMOC in all ways in Mid Canterbury and beyond. Congratulations Patrick, Grace and Nickola!
