To find each other ...
I just now looked through today's email to the club and I realize that this
is a marvellous means of communication, even if the computer is not
the solution to everything. The telephone is still ringing, and it is nice to
hear a human voice from you members too. The subjects are varying
and there are many questions. I cannot answer all questions myself,
but I have many to ask for advice, so I have even managed to repair a
car over the phone. The hardest question is this often-repeated one:
-What is the value of my car?
I know that many are disappointed when we who are club officials
cannot give an answer, but please excuse us, all depends on if a seller
and a buyer find each other. The chance of finding "the right one" is
great when you are a member of a club like the PV-klubben. The ad
pages in the PV-Notiser, club meets and autojumbles are actually the
best way of finding another PV enthusiast who is prepared to let go of
the part I am looking for or who has filled his wallet to buy the goodies
that are for sale. So keep on filling the ad pages in the PV-Notiser. It
helps you to find the right thing at the right price and it only costs the
postage on the letter.
... and find the way to the annual meeting
While I am writing this I am really longing for the spring, since it is -20
degrees and northerly winds in Arvika at the moment. Despite this I
am planning for the annual meeting on April 28. As you can read in the
PV-Notiser we have chosen to hold the annual meeting in Stockholm
this year. It has actually been a long time since the annual meeting
was held in the Stockholm area. We have reserved a suitable
assembly hall in the vicinity of Tallkrogen, so you will be able to visit
the club office after
the annual meeting.
We are proud of our office and you who have not yet been there will be
surprised at all the interesting things we PV enthusiasts have collected
over the years. This is a long weekend so even those of you who have
a little longer distance to travel can give yourself a weekend in
Stockholm and combine it with the club's annual meeting. If you take
the PV or Duett you do not need to worry about the Stockholm traffic.
Even stressed Stockholmers are likely to stop at the sight of an
beautiful old Volvo.
If you get mixed up at a junction you can always do like old Manfred
from Lapland did in the sixties. He was to pick up his new school bus
and deliver the old one, but in central Stockholm he got lost. He
stopped right across the tramline, opened his Stockholm map and
started looking for his way.
There was a total stop in the traffic so a police officer rushed up to him
and asked what he was doing.
Manfred just answered:
Hey you, a man must be allowed to look up his way!
I hope the driving directions are just as good as Manfred's map, so we
will meet at the annual meeting on April 28.
