Sunday Nov.23 - TBCS HQ MAINTENANCE / CLEAN-UP DAY.
This event is our 2nd last for the year and involves cleaning up our premises as per our agreement.
If anyone has any gardening tools to bring with them, it would be greatly appreciated. We still have a
few snags left from the Bunnings BBQ, so if you want, we can throw a few on for lunch. ($1ea)
Some will be doing maintenance on the buses, however the weekend is about our premises.

Sunday Dec.7th - ANNUAL XMAS BBQ (Richmond)
Our final event for 2014 is our annual Xmas BBQ, which will be held at RICHMOND this year. Members
will be transported down in #134 where a BBQ will be supplied, however FOOD/DRINK is BYO.

out with a BANG

If we don't find anyone that wants them they will be thrown out which would be a shame so if you guys know anyone who might have a use for these parts please call Danny or Mark
Cheers John

Btw just a quick note to let you guys know that Doug has also bought another Hino. It will be coming down from Lismore just before Christmas. More details to come when she arrives

[wisbydriverB40]

By the way guys I just want to congratulate you on the acquisition of bus 200 from Metro.

[Tas Bus Nut]

[Bedford-29]

The Hino that is coming from Waller`s Bus Company Nimbin NSW so check if there is no Wacky weed on board .The Hino RG230 that is coming is ex 2970-MO.

Thanks Chris

[wisbydriverB40]

Thanks for that Chris.
I was under the impression it was coming from j&b's in lismore as Doug has had the picture of it floating around the lunch room. The other hino you mentioned is already on one of our runs and is also from lismore.
The picture he has is a p&d body hino.

Also in other news one of our Harris park buses looks like it's sold (b40gk) I'll be sad to see her go but I guess even twins need to go their own way :/

Anyway if I don't post on here again till the new year everyone have a great Christmas and happy new year

[Tas Bus Nut]

Thanks for that Chris.<br abp="641">I was under the impression it was coming from j&b's in lismore as Doug has had the picture of it floating around the lunch room.

That's right, I remember Doug mentioning J & B now John. Because I tried to get on Fleet Lists and find it when he told me

Likewise as wisbydriverB40 says: AND, on behalf of the Tasmanian Bus & Coach Society

Just a quick update from Wisby's for everyone before we all enjoy or christmas break

Ex Harris park CG277K Hino B40GK is now officially sold to Oakleys Coaches Margate and has had it's new signage out on it on Thursday night, goodbye old friend

Our new Hino from J&B's Lismore is officially coming down today from devonport

Our old mate B10M Volvo A24CQ is now officially sold (not sure who to but I believe it's going to become a camper)

So again everyone have a good Christmas and a happy new year

[Bedford-29]

The J&B Lismore Hino RG230 MO-5233 was sold to Wallers Nimbin as MO-5233 Hino RG230 2970-MO has come from Nimbin not Lismore.So Wisby C41TU comes from the town of wacky weed (Nimbin).
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND A HAPPY 2015

The J&B Lismore Hino RG230 MO-5233 was sold to Wallers Nimbin as MO-5233 Hino RG230 2970-MO has come from Nimbin not Lismore.So Wisby C41TU comes from the town of wacky weed (Nimbin).

How can you quote a rego of C41TU when it isn't registered in Tasmania?
We are talking about a new acquisition, not what they already have.

[Bedford-29]

Well someone did as its in the fleet list and even on Wisby fleetlist as C 41 TU.

[yoda]

Our new Hino from J&B's Lismore is officially coming down today from devonport

To clarify the definition of new,

new: adjective

1.of recent origin, production, purchase, etc.; having but lately come or been brought into being.

Well someone did as its in the fleet list and even on Wisby fleetlist as C 41 TU.

You can read back through the posts in this thread and find that you mentioned it. No one else.
If you read all of the information on Fleet Lists (as that is gospel), you will see it was acquired over 2 years ago.

For your records, (at the time of this post) new registrations in the state of Tasmania now lead with the letter E.

[boronia]

Rather than just throw these bits out, have you considered trying to sell them on eBay/Gumtree/etc?

Would be a few of these around as motor homes, etc, so there may be a wide market for parts beyond this forum

Might earn a bit of cash for your projects?
