Presented by the Austin 7 Club Inc
For the first time, Historic Winton will run without motorcycles. The upgraded safety standards and stringent track permit conditions set by the motorcycle insurers require some modifications to the Winton Motor Raceway facilities, so the inclusion of motorcycles has been suspended.
Conducted by the Austin 7 Club Inc A0003290N, Winton is Australia’s longest-running, all-historic motor race meet. It is one of rural Victoria's most significant sporting events, drawing participants and spectators nationwide. This iconic ‘city meets country’ event features yesteryear's grandeur and pace at the spectacular rural location of Winton Motor Raceway.

Netherby Homestead
Friday, 24 April 29025
Fagan Park covers 55 hectares with themed gardens, playgrounds, historic Netherby Cottage and an Eco Garden and more. The museum buildings will be open and the restored engines and early farm machinery will be on display and running.
The homestead is over a century old, having been built in 1900 by Sam Fagan. It was where the Fagan family lived for multiple generations. Bruce and Ida Fagan, two of Sam's kids, donated the land to the Department of Lands in 1980.
VSCCA participation
The Friends of Fagan Park have invited the VSCCA to participate in the ANZAC Open Day by providing a display of interesting early vehicles that allow our members to get out for a great run.
With assistance from the Friends, we plan to provide breakfast around 9 am, then enjoy a tour of the exhibits. There are also excellent, themed gardens to explore.
Costs and what you need to bring
To keep the catering simple, you will need to bring your own plates/cups/silverware and chairs. We anticipate a small charge of $20 per head will cover our costs and donations.
You may also like to bring a picnic lunch for later in the day.
Expressions of interest are requested NOW
We’d like to know how many members are interested in participating. Please email Rex and Norah at rexvincent1940@gmail.com if you plan to come.
A firm confirmation will be needed by 18 April for catering purposes.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Ansell Park, Percival Street, CLARENDON NSW 2756
Invited clubs: Veteran Car Club, Riley Club and Vintage Drivers’ Club
Getting there. Location of the 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 the event
The VSCCA, in conjunction with the Alvis Car Club, is putting on another day of driving tests at the FIAT club grounds. Nestled off the road and set amongst established deciduous trees there are two flat mown areas for separate driving activities. There are between 6 and 8 tests of driving skill here which are 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.
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.
A relaxed, country-style event, within an hour of central Sydney
This 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 we will have 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. Click the RSVP button below to send us an email.
We hope to see you there!

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.

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