To those that are away due to health or wandering afar, we send you our thoughts and best wishes and look forward to meeting again. The club has already put on many an exciting event. On April 10th we are going back to our grass roots and having a Sprint and Motorkhana day at the Mitsubishi Motor test track at Tailem Bend. Come along in your vehicle and either participate or help out. As we live in a busy world, we someday will be challenged with the problem of someone who may be having a heart attack, an Asthma attack or where assisted breathing and heart massage may be required. This is commonly known as CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary – Resuscitation). For the benefit of all members the Austin 7 Club has arranged a First Aid Day on Saturday 16 April 2005. This First Aid Day has been organised for all members to receive “FREE” general information and training and will be run by the Life Saving Association. Commencing at 12noon with a free barbecue at the clubrooms, at 1245 the hands on training session will commence and that will be finalised with a cuppa and friendship at around 3:00pm. Lyn and I are looking forward to your attendance. Some of us have partners, older friends, parents and young grand children who may benefit from you learning the basics. See you all on the day. Some of the long term things to think about in the touring programme for the year are the Meningie run, the Border run to Mount Gambier and the Cavalcade of Cars day on Yorke Peninsula. As a result of the change to the Adelaide Cup Weekend from May to March 2006, we have to think about the PADARC Rally and accommodation etc. for 2006. Your members telephone directory is included with this magazine. Please use it to keep in touch with all your friends in the club. So until we meet again, be happy, enjoy life and look forward to tomorrow. Until we meet again, Good Austineering. Trevor Clerke President. -------------------------------------------------- - 3 - ------------------------------------------------- ====== Austin 7 Journals, April 2005====== GEOFF STEPHENS‟ Car Audio Services Pty Ltd 217 Main North Road Sefton Park S.A. 5083 * Car Audio * Car Radio Repairs * Alarms * Immobilisers * Hands Free Kits * Central Locking * Speed Alert * Cruise Control Phone: 8344 1488 Mobile: 0416 226 055 Special Discounts to Austin 7 Club members ======================================================================= -------------------------------------------------- - 4 - ------------------------------------------------- ====== Austin 7 Journals, April 2005====== COMING EVENTS 10 April: Tailem Bend ¼ mile sprints and Motorkhana. 11 April: Monthly Club meeting at the Clubrooms starts 8pm sharp. 15-17 April: Races Mallala, Australian Motor Racing Series. 16 April: First Aid Day.

It started out a little cool and overcast, but that didn't deter local and near country & some metropolitan members from coming to Port Vincent to have their cars checked and paying their annual subscription. We had about 40 people turn up and between us all we had a lot of fun and laughs. A light lunch was prepared for all with Ruth Perry and Nola Buttfield supplying us with delicious cakes and fruit to finish the meal. Trevor and I would like to thank everyone for coming along and for their company and we hope to see you all next year.
