The display featured over 50 Car Clubs representing most British brands, both current and past.

The Yarroll’s arrived early in their 1932 Austin 7 but were quickly ambushed for an interview by Channel 7’s Weekend Sunrise show presenter James Tobin. This snippet was broadcast live around 8:35am. What a great start to the day!
The day was hosted by the Kings School and coincided with its Annual Fair. Other entertainment included an Art Show that featured an exhibition and sales, market stalls, wine tastings, jewellery and a funfair for the children. Club members displayed 17 Austin Sevens today that showcased a wide range of body styles.

As the day drew to a close, one member was excited about a possible new addition that might soon make its way into his garage. However, his wife was overheard saying something like, “no way … we have enough bits and pieces in our shed already”. We all know how much our male members just love their spare parts and buckets of bits. Another great day was had by all. Page 7
