PRESIDENT’S REPORT
As I sit down to write this report, it appears that our nice balmy Autumn days are now past,
today being a wet, drizzly, and cool windy day; a great day to be cosy in the office. At least,
the rain has been very welcome, with the countryside responding in a blanket of green, even
though the last of the autumn colours are now disappearing. Still, as we say, it is that time of
the year, and a taste of what is to come; soon time to remove the winter woollies from the wardrobes, and place the
electric blankets back on the beds. Those who like the wind in their hair will soon be putting the top up, or re-fitting
the hardtop, to take advantage of the comfort of the heater.
Membership Secretary Paul has advised that we have a few new members, Richard and Angela Hyde, John and Val
Kellehear, and Stephanie Brown. To each, I extend a very cordial and warm welcome. I’m sure your time with us will be
happy and rewarding, and I look forward to meeting you in the near future.
On Sunday 29 March, following an invitation from the Young Heritage Motor Club,
about 9 cars made their individual way to Young, at the invitation of the Young
Heritage Motor Club, to attend their annual Car, Motorcycle, and Caravan Muster
at the local PCYC facility, all arriving at about the same time. On arrival, we were
guided to our respective parking positions, the gazebo soon erected, picnic tables
and chairs produced, and everyone settled in for the morning cuppa.
The day was spent inspecting the cars, motorcycles, and caravans, or catching
up with the news (and solving the world’s affairs) under the shade of the gazebo, and yarning to the entrants and
organisers, who incidentally were thrilled that we had brought our cars to display. Speaking of our cars, Dawn and Dave
Smedley surprised us all, arriving in a beautiful SLK 300 Mercedes convertible, amid a lot
of comments about how common the Mercedes are
becoming in the Club, and how the Triumph and Mazda
MX5 owners are becoming outnumbered. At the conclusion
of the day, Paul Hingston took out the Sports Car Class
trophy with his beautifully presented TR4, much to Mick
Buckler’s consternation, seen here trying to wrestle the
trophy from Paul.
The next event, on Thursday, 9 April, was the mid-week meander to view the Autumn colours
at Mt Wilson. Unfortunately other commitments precluded me from attending this event,
however from reports I have received, it was well attended and an enjoyable day. As usual,
there will be a full report in the Newsletter.
The Management Committee Meeting was held on Sunday, 12 April in Bathurst. As usual, Secretary Chris will have
an outline of the items discussed in this Newsletter, however there are a couple of matters that I will comment on. As
some would know, and many may not, we have been receiving some information from a group formed in Southern
NSW calling themselves the Southern Motoring Group, who are formulating proposals to submit to the relevant
authorities for a Historic Registration Scheme based on the 45 and 90 day Victorian and South Australian scheme.
The H plates will be retained, and there will be a new M plate for vehicles that are modified. I must say I was initially
not very impressed with the logbook scheme, but reading the proposals and the level of controls and restrictions that
clubs can put in place, I am now convinced. At the meeting it was agreed we advise the SMG of our interest. At last
count, over 200 clubs have expressed their interest. If anyone would like more information, I’m sure Paul Hingston or
Richard Gardoll will be happy to explain.
Also at the Meeting, Mick Buckler outlined a proposal for a tour of Tasmania, possibly in March, 2016. Before we get
serious with the planning, we would like to know how much interest there is for such a trip, and in this respect,
Expressions of Interest are sought from those who may be interested. Some preliminary estimates and details: length
between 2 and 3 weeks, cost per couple approx. $5000.00, numbers will be limited, and a sizable deposit will be
required. If the tour goes ahead, Mick will be looking for a couple of people to form an organising committee.
Looking ahead, there are number of events coming up; on the weekend of 2 and 3 May, the outing to Dubbo. I’m not
sure at this time what Mick has in mind for Saturday, but on Sunday the Golden West Holden Club is holding the
annual Rocking in the Vines event. The weekend will be another chance for members to enjoy the usual camaraderie
these weekends offer.

On Thursday, 14 May, the mid-week outing will travel from Bathurst to Turondale, Sofala, and back to Bathurst.
Having travelled on the Turondale Road to Hill End on a couple of occasions, and on the Hill End Road to Sofala, I
must say it is a very scenic drive.
The next event in May will be the National Motoring Heritage Day on the 17th. We will travel to the Rylstone Swap
Meet at the Rylstone Showground, organised by the Cudgegong Valley Pioneer Vehicle Club. This may be the
opportunity to get another bargain. I’m not sure that Mick needs any more wrought iron features though.
Of course in June, we have the usual Henry Lawson Festival in Grenfell on the long weekend. In recent years we
have been awarded the Club trophy, so lets see what we can do again this year. Grenfell will be followed by the midweek meander on the 11th to the Megalong Valley; all in all, plenty of opportunities to get our cars out
Smooth roads, and happy and safe motoring

Following the interest shown at the A G M, there has been discussion by

was agreed that late March early April 2016 is probably the best time. I
have accordingly been in touch with a tour organizer and they are putting
together a suggestion package for us, I will in a future newsletter be able to

REPORTING ON RECENT ACTIVITIES
March 29th Sunday - Young Heritage Motor Club Car and Motorbike Show
Three cars left Orange on fine autumn morning for a spirited drive to Young as we had to be there by 9am. The group motored
along picking up other club members as they progressed until there were nine of us. The pace was quite brisk with not much
traffic and we made Young in good time for the car show being held in the grounds of PCYC. The parking controllers did not
seem to have much idea, and in spite of our protests, split up our group into different parts of the area making it impossible for
us to set up a club display. But, we were not to be foiled, and soon found a grassy area to set up our canopy, tables, chairs and
soon the tea and coffee was on to go along with the usual goodies. As some members would be aware there are those amongst
us who are quite keen when it comes to picking up a trophy here and there and the polishing clothes were out in abundance
with the kinder mortals among us even willing to loan chamois to rivals. Once all the preparations were done there was time to
have a look around at the vehicles on show. As the years go by, we see more and more of the cars we had when we were
younger, qualifying as classics. If we had kept them all we would need bigger sheds and bigger bank accounts
Our club was very well represented with Dave and Dawns newly arrived Mercedes 300 SLK on its first run, Charles Stammers
had his Mercedes SLK 350, Rod and Leone Wykes Nissan 350 Z, my Jaguar XK 150, Link and Vicky Hewson Ford Capri, Larry
Nunn MK2 Jaguar, Paul and Annette Hingston Triumph TR 4A, with surrey top Stewart and Kerrie Blowes Triumph Stag and
Gary and Barbara Cooper Hyundai Veloster turbo.
As the day progressed there was considerable speculation as to who among us had slipped the most cash to the judges and as
we gathered to hear the results confidence was growing in some quarters when it came to the sports car category. As can be
seen in the photographs, one of us thought a mistake had been made and the wrong red car had been named as the winner.
The issue was settled amicably and we all set of for home with a stop at the Rose Garden Cafe, where Annette as the co winner
of the said trophy very sportingly shouted ice creams all around. What we had overlooked was the fact that we were travelling
through bushranger country and Paul forgot to lock his car. I believe there is a reward being offered for the return of certain
shiny goods removed from his car while we were enjoying our ice cream, or information leading to apprehension of the felons. It
was another great day out and we all had a lot of fun which is what our club is all about.

April 9th Thursday – Midweek meander to the Autumn colours at Mount Wilson
Thursday 9th dawned a beautiful sunny if cool morning which was a complete contrast to the wintery conditions experienced over
the previous couple of days. Fourteen cars and crews gathered at the Crago Mill Café at 9.00am for morning tea before departing
at 10.00am for Mt Wilson via the Great Western Hwy and the Bell Road arriving at about 11.30am. Awaiting our arrival were a
further three cars which had driven up from Sydney thus making a total of seventeen cars and thirty three people. A very good
rollup.The Autumn colours were not quite at their peak however a number of gardens were open for inspection and most people
took the opportunity to take in at least one garden before driving a little further down the road to a picnic area where we had
lunch. After lunch several of the more energetic types went for a short walk through the nearby Cathedral of Ferns. From here
people said their goodbyes and headed off on the journeys home however several of us decided to call into the Lolly Shop at
Little Hartley for afternoon tea. This was quite an eye opener – it stocks a vast array of lollies and was doing a brisk trade. Truly a
dentist’s paradise.Those who enjoyed the day were:
Kevin and Annette Neville, Ford Capri; Roy and Sheila Riley, Ford Capri; Chris and Merran Olson, Swallow Doretti; Ralph
Arnison and Tony, Lancia Fulvia; Rod and Leonie Wykes, Nissan 300Z;Ian and Michelle Wallace, MGB; Doug and Dearne
Witherdin, Mercedes SLK280; Paul and Karen Tomlinson, Jaguar XKC; Dave and Dawn Smedley, Mercedes SLK300;
Gary and Barbara Cooper, Hyundai Veloster; Chris and Judy Bayliss, Toyota 86; Paul and Shirley Challinor, MGB;
Don Young and Sandy Collins, Peugeot 308CC; Peter and Diann Harper, MGCGT
Non members: Will and Allison Arnison, Lancia Fulvia coupe; Rick and Angela Hyde, MGTF.

Chris Olson had news on John Donohoe’s health; John is much better than he has been and a card has been sent to him
with best wishes from all of his friends at the ASCC.
Alan Mitchell reported that all advertisers in the Newsletter had renewed for 2015 with the exception of one.
Paul Hingston reported a number of new members have joined the ASCC with financial members now numbering 153. 16
currently unfinancial members are expected to again renew their membership.
Peter Moras suggested that the ASCC members who do not receive an electronic copy of the newsletter each month but
instead receive a hard copy are in future to be sent their newsletter in colour.
Richard Gardoll reported one new car is now on conditional registration and two cars have relinquished their conditional
registration.
Peter Harper reported that mid-week events were proceeding well with attendance ranging between 30 and 50 members
each event.
Mick Buckler reported that weekend events are currently well supported. Mick was encouraged to organise more local
events like the recent successful twilight run to the Neville Hotel.
Mick reported the Rocking in the Vines trip to Dubbo is almost booked out.
The proposed tour to Tasmania is planned for 2016, possibly in March, and Mick is seeking interested members to join
him on a planning committee.
Stewart Blowes reported that things have been fairly quiet in regalia.
P.Skulander reported that articles like his Clipsal 500 report had proved popular and so he will continue with this style of
report in the future.
The ASCC has received Meeting Minutes from the New South Wales Southern Motoring Group for our perusal. The ASCC
Management Committee has decided to offer support to this new organisation.
Stewart Blowes reported that all fifty umbrellas purchased have been distributed to members who either attended the 2015
ASCC Annual General Meeting or attended the 2015 Gnoo Blas display with their car.
Alan Mitchell suggested that as our club is no longer purchasing tickets in advance for ASCC members to attend the
Shannons Car Display at Eastern Creek, members who are definitely wishing to attend should contact Mick Buckler with
their firm expressions of interest.
Next Meeting of the ASCC Management Committee will be held at the Orange Ex-Services Country Club at 10.00am on
Sunday, 12th July 201

MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY REPORT
Paul Hingston
.
This month, we sincerely welcome into the Club, the following members: Bernard and Anne Lynch, Barry, Mercedes SLK200:
John and Val Kellehear, Dubbo, Renault Megane: Stephanie Brown, Bathurst, Kharman Ghia: Richard and Angela Hyde, Terry
Hills, MG’s
Apologies to Bernard and Anne as I missed out on including them as our new members list last month, but that hasn’t prevented
them from already enjoying being on an outing with the club. We look forward to catching up soon with John, Val, Stephanie,
Richard and Angela and sharing their company on one of our many outings organised by our hard-working Event Organisers,
Mick Buckler or Peter Harper.
As at the end of April we have a healthy membership of 160 financial members. Despite having a number of members not
renewing their membership for 2015 for a number of reasons, we have now reached our final number for the full year
membership of 2014. Again, a strong position to be in.
This would perhaps suggest that news of the varied activities of our club, and the welcoming friendship that comes from being a
member, is reaching out to people with classic cars looking for a very active and social car club with which to enjoy their classic
motoring.
Don’t forget to let me know (pdhingston@yahoo.com.au) if any of your personal details have changed, eg address, mobile or
email. I know some members who have moved and I still don’t have their new particulars. It can be difficult contacting members
or issuing electronic newsletters if we are not updated.
The facility of direct debit for payment of fees has been a huge success this year.
Don’t forget, our newsletters, along with the Club Constitution and For Sale items are listed in our Club location with Shannons.

ASCC LIBRARY INFORMATION UPDATE
Peter Skulander, Librarian
SPORTSCAR TOP TEN SHOOT OUT – Classic and Sportscar, April 1991
Post war and reasonably affordable sports cars was the criteria for the list of cars. Each car was to be driven and appraised by
a panel of six drivers, made up of five men and one lady driver. The initial list was :- MG M-Type, MG TC, MGB, Healey 100/4,
Frogeye Sprite, Lotus Elan S4 Sprint, 1990 Lotus Elan, Lotus Elite, Jaguar XK120, Jaguar E-Type, Mini Cooper S, Alfa Spider,
Porsche 911, Datsun 240Z, Corvette Stingray (1965-68), Mazda MX-5, AC Ace, Fiat X1/9, Lancia Fulvia Coupe, Morgan Pus
4/8 and Triumph TR3A.
The drivers then met to vote in their choice of cars, to provide a list of 10 cars to be tested. It was decided that the main criteria
was that the car had to be an open top, two seater. Other cars lost out because of old technology, but voters did retain the MG
TC. Of course, not all drivers were happy with the final 10. Questions were asked why 2 Jaguars and 2 MGs were left in the
mix. The AC ACE was voted in despite its’ exclusivity.
After swapping seats during the day on a trip over mountains and winding roads, the drivers were asked to rate the cars from 1
to 10.

THE BLONDE NEIGHBOUR
The other day my neighbour, who is blonde, came running up to me in the driveway just jumping for joy! I didn't know why she
was jumping for joy but I thought, what the heck, and I starting jumping up and down along with her.
She said, "I have some really great news!"
I said, "Great. Tell me why you're so happy. "
She stopped jumping and, breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, told me that she was pregnant! I knew that she
had been trying for a while so I told her, "That's great! I couldn't be happier for you!"
Then she said, "There's more."
I asked, "What do you mean 'more'?
She said, "Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have TWINS!"
Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew.
She said."Well, that was the easy part.
I went to Blooms Pharmacy and they actually had a home pregnancy kit in a twin-pack. Both tests came out positive!"
