Wolseley Car Club

About the Club

The Club was formed on 15th March 1975, in response to an advertisement in 'The Age' newspaper. by Peter & Joy Richardson. 25 Wolseleys turned up, and a Committee was formed straight away. It was decided early on that a newsletter was necessary, and it was decided to call it 'The Hornet'. It has been a total success and is thriving today with a membership of about 250. The club meets on the first Tuesday of the month (except January) in the South Camberwell Tennis Club, Bickleigh Street, Glen Iris (Melway 59-H6. The meeting starts at 8.00pm and frequently has guest speakers on various subjects, mostly dealing with information relevant to Wolseley cars. Social events such as Display Days, Rallies, BBQs are held at least once a month, often meeting with other make clubs. Visitors are welcome at any of these events and will find that members are friendly and will help with information and advice. Supper is served at the conclusion of the meeting. The Club has an extensive library of technical and non-technical books on hand which members are able to borrow. Spare Parts are available from the Club to assist members to keep their cars on the road. This service is available because club members volunteer to attend a working bee once a month to dismantle cars that are no longer roadworthy. A "Club Permit" scheme allows members to use their cars for club events at a fraction of the normal registration cost. Members may have more than one car for this purpose. The Hornet Newsletter is posted to members every month keeping them in touch with news and activities of the club.
