Brass Monkeys Camping Weekend @ Lake Lyell

  • Lake Lyell Recreation Park (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

BRASS MONKEYS CAMPING WEEKEND

Lake Lyell (near Lithgow)
Arrive: Saturday, 20 July. Depart Sunday, 21 July 2024

Organiser:     
Phil Guilfoyle - 0431 503 763. email philguilfoyle@yahoo.com.au

Destination:  
Lake Lyell Recreation Park.

Meet:             
At Lake Lyell Recreation Park campground on Friday afternoon. We will have the billy boiling. Alternatively, you may wish to drive up together in groups that you organise yourselves.

The Plan:

There is no organised tour for this event. We drive to the interests and conditions on the day. At this stage, we are thinking of heading through O’Connell and having lunch at the pub at Rockley.

There are many alternative activities to suit members' interests (e.g. some might stay and fish, others might visit historic Lithgow). Although Brass Monkeys is informal, it is a VSCCA event and is on the Club calendar.

Lake Lyell Recreation Area includes a well-run campground with all facilities, offering activities like swimming (a bit cold), fishing (bass & trout allegedly) and access to the region (Lithgow, Tarana).

At this time of year, it will be very cold, but hopefully dry. This is the June long weekend.

The driving:

There is great vintage driving in every direction from the campground. It is 12km from Lithgow on Magpie Hollow Road. The roads around the area are beautiful and generally quiet. Some local roads are unsealed, but there are plenty of sealed alternatives.

Camping accommodation:

We have three adjacent un-powered sites at the Lake Lyell Recreation Park. These are sites #59 to #61 on the Lake Lyell site map. If you are interested, please contact Phil (not Lake Lyell) to reserve a place.

There are also powered sites, a cabin, and good facilities but no shop, so you will have to bring all your supplies.  Every site has a fire pit. Firewood can be purchased from the office but you bring your own if possible as we use a lot of wood. Dogs are welcome but must be controlled (owner’s responsibility). There is a boat ramp and trailer parking.

Camping cost: $60

The cost is your camping site fee ($50 for the 2 nights) and the VCCCA Club fee ($10) total of $60 - all payable to the VSCCA before the event.

  • The VSCCA Club entry fee is a $10 flat fee to cover costs (payable to Club prior to the event).                                                                                                                                 

  • The Lake Lyell Recreation Area campsite fee is $50 ($25 per night, payable to Club prior to the event).

  • Other costs are paid by entrants at the campground. These include coin-operated showers and BBQ ($1 each) and firewood from the office ($25 per bag).

Payment:

  • Payment by EFT into the VSCCA account prior to the event would be appreciated.

  • Identify payment with “BM + your name”.

  • EFT Details: Vintage Sports Car Club of Australia. BSB 082-443 Account 166670215. Alternatively, pay Phil at the campground.

Intention to Attend

Please send an "intention to attend" to event organiser; Phil Guilfoyle on 0431 503 763 or email philguilfoyle@yahoo.com.au

If your plans change, you can always pull out.

Location of Event
You will find the Fiat Club Grounds at Percival Street in Clarendon, next to the Richmond Royal Australian Air Force base. Entry is via a driveway with a small sign saying “Ansell Park, Private Property”. 

About
Nestled off the road and set amongst established deciduous trees there are two flat mown areas for separate driving activities.

The test area is spacious for the six gymkhana tests while there is a separate practise area (“South Park”) where novice drivers can learn and build their classic driving skills in safety.  This is not a speed event.

There are toilets but no other facilities, so bring your own morning tea, picnic lunch, and chairs. Dogs and children are welcome on a lead.

More
The VSCCA, in conjunction with the Alvis Car Club, is putting on another day of driving tests at the FIAT club grounds. The course of between 6 and 8 tests of driving skill is set on a flat mown paddock which is gentle on vehicles and drivers.

Younger people can participate as passengers who will be challenged with their own tests.

People who have never driven a vintage car can get some practice in a separate paddock area, where they can come to terms with vintage steering brakes and gear changes. This was very popular last year. If they feel confident enough they can head out and take the tests.

Lunch will be a “bring your own picnic”

There are BBQ facilities available. Lunch was held under the trees, sitting on running boards, and without flies.

This is a very relaxed, country-style event, within an hour of central Sydney.

It is a great introduction for children, grandchildren, friends and other relatives who may wish to attempt the vintage experience. Apart from anything else, it is one of the nicest picnic areas which we will have to ourselves for the day. See photos from prior years.

RSVP

For planning purposes please let us know if you will be attending and how many others you plan to bring with you. RSVP by clicking the button below.

We look forward to seeing you at this event.

100 Year Vauxhall Rally

  • Google Calendar ICS

100 Year Vauxhall Rally

11 – 15 September 2023

It is 100 years since three of our Club Vauxhalls rolled off the production line at Luton in the UK, and all three cars still regularly attend Club events.

  • Richard and Emi Walton’s 30-98 OE53

  • Rob and Deb Merryfull’s 14-40 M673

  • Dave and Mary Stuart’s 23-60 OD494.

Join us for a five-day rolling rally 

The rally is set to commence at Raworth in the Hunter Valley on Monday, 11 September and conclude in Tuncurry on Friday, 15 September.  The entrants will overnight in Armidale, Casino, and South West Rocks, with the final night In Tuncurry.

All the roads selected are sealed and the scenery in springtime should prove to be a pleasant backdrop for each days driving on roads our Club has not previously travelled.

The event is approved by the Club’s Committee and will be listed in coming events. So far, we have entries from N.S.W. and Queensland.

Sponsorship is being sought from the National Trust of Australia. We will visit the historic homes Saumarez and Booloolimbah in Armidale, as well as the National Trust-owned School of Arts and Museum in Tenterfield. Also, in Tenterfield, we plan to visit George Woolnough’s Saddle shop as well as the house he lived in whilst he was the saddler in Tenterfield. 

Club members are welcome to attend the event. Your car doesn’t have to be a Vauxhall as long as it’s a vintage car as this is a requirement of the National Trust sponsorship.

So if this week away in your vintage car sounds like it suits you, then please contact me to find out more or enter the event.
