I don‟t know about you, but I thought the cool damp weather leading up to Christmas was very pleasant, except for the fact that the big rain we had a couple of weeks beforehand destroyed a new lawn I had planted the previous day. That‟s life! A video of the 50 Years Of Motor Racing celebrations we had at Mallala in August was professionally produced. Copies of this video were presented to Barry Frost, Tony Grove, Ian Motley and Bruce Went in recognition of the work they did on or before the event. Several copies of the video have been sold & there are still some copies available. At the November Annual General meeting all club committee positions were declared vacant & the past members who chose to nominate for the 2011 committee were elected unopposed. The newcomers to the committee are, a past committee member, Ian Motley who has taken up the duties of Property Manager & Laurie Sutton who agreed to fill the Treasurer's position. We didn‟t have a property manager last year & I think the property suffered because of it. Last year's Treasurer, Kevin Haley, is unable to carry on this year due to personal commitments. He has built a new home at Sandy Creek & has too much work to do to get the grounds established. Vic Ward, our past Assistant Secretary could not continue due to health issues, as such, at the time of writing this report, the position of Assistant Secretary is vacant. I thank both Kevin & Vic for what they did last year & wish them all the best for the future. At the AGM I was privileged to present both David Grear & Tony Morgan with Life Membership. They have both given a lot of their time to the club & its members over many years. We thank them very much for their commitment & hope it continues for many more years. David Grear was elected as Vice President at the December Committee Meeting. For those who don‟t know, we have quite an extensive club library thanks to the hard work & dedication of Ron Burchett who has built it from scratch over a lot of years. He shared with the committee that he had a concern that the longevity of the library may be in jeopardy when he was no longer able to look after it. Recognising that the library is a great resource that we didn‟t want to lose, someone to assist Ron was sought from members. It was very pleasing Austin 7 Journals Page 3 January 2011 that a new member, Mike Maxwell, who only joined the club the same month the search for an experienced librarian began, has agreed to take on the task. I would like to thank Mike for his offer. I would like you to join me in welcoming the following new members & wish them a long & enjoyable time within the club.

I intend to produce the Summer issue quite soon. The cover photo for this edition sees the late Bill Pegum’s beloved Model ‘A’ Ford. This car belonged to his mother from new and the family name for it was ‘Bluebird’. Bill left this car and his home to the IVVCC in his will. He was a true enthusiast who actively encouraged others to get involved and indeed sourced old motors whilst on his travels around the country passing on their locations to eager enthusiasts.

    Interchangeable Parts List Supplement to the Pre ’55 Newsletter – January 1975 Re-Formatted 3/09

    Interchangeable Parts List Supplement to the Pre ’55 Newsletter – January 1975 Re-formatted 3/09 I received the list from a friend (deceased) decades ago. He was a career Foreign Service Officer & spent little time in USA till after he retired. His last posting was in Rhodesia in the mid 70's. Don't remember exact dates, but was during or just after the revolution that ousted the white Ian Smith regime. Sanctions against Imports were introduced by Harold Wilson embargoing imports entry into the Country by many countries to put pressure on Smith to force government to abdicate & turn over Govt. to natives. Therefore was no source for parts for aging, in country cars necessitating a need for list of interchangeable parts to keep old "teabaggers" running. Sort of akin to situation in Cuba today where many cars still running date back to '50's . It seems logical that the List was generated then by a local Brit. car club who published it as supplement to their newsletter advising what unavailable parts were interchangeable. This is my best hypothesis of then source of the List. Perhaps a query to any ex Zimbabwean, nee Rhodesian member might turn up confirmation & name of Club that produced the list & perhaps the author. Better yet, perhaps Club is still in existence. Bill Hyatt Interchangeable Parts List Supplement to the Pre ’55 Newsletter – January 1975 This Interchangeable parts list is a supplement to the January 1975 Pre ’55 Newsletter and we suggest that you file it carefully for future reference. The task of obtaining suitable spare parts to maintain and drive a ‘T’ series MG is becoming more difficult as the age of individual models increase.

    NEWSLETTER August 2014 (Official Newsletter of the Austin Seven Register of Qld. Inc. (formed 1967) Editorial Dear Members I find it nice to get photos of an Austin nearing completion for the newsletter after many years and much toil by a member who does not have the advantage of being to attend meetings or simply drive across town for new parts as we do in Bris-Vegas. You have seen a couple of photos just recently of Ken Burtons 1928 Chummy, but as you can see he is now getting very close to finishing. I will let Ken tell you how the car is progressing now: “I am updating you with the progress so far, the radiator is ready to go on and I have finished the wiring & upholstery, yes the beige body & black guards has been painted by me . The black wheels have been power coated, I am working on the hood, the irons have already been painted, I painted them beige, instead of the usual black. I still have to sort out 2 wheels, I do have 2 brand new rims & hubs just need a good wheelwright to fit them up, or buy 2 good ones”. Ken Burton, Rockhampton.
