RACV British & European Motoring Show Yarra Glen Racecourse February 20 th 2022
This was not only our first Wolseley outing for the year,
but also the first time this motoring show has been
held for the last two years and what a turnout! There
were cars and people everywhere! There was a real
buzz as car clubs and members displayed their cars,
caught up with friends or car enthusiasts, or participated
in judging of club cars. The Wolseley banner was
flying high and many thanks to our members who made the effort to be part of the
day with many Wolseleys on display. On entry, participants were issued with a
booklet outlining the day’s events and role of the AOMC. It also contained an excellent
article written by our Wolseley Car Club President, Graham Keys, on
“Celebrating the 70 th Anniversary of the Wolseley 4/44.”
Outing to Castlemaine Sunday 24 th April
This has been widely publicised in previous Hornets and is shaping up to be a great event, thanks to the careful planning by our club member,
Anthony van Emmerik. Please see the arrangements as detailed below.
Weekend Trip to Shepparton – Friday 20 th May and returning home on Sunday 22 nd May
This great weekend has been carefully planned by our members Bev and Rob Asquith. Some of the highlights for the weekend include a
visit to the Shepparton Art Museum (SAM); the Museum of Vehicle Evolution (MOVE); Southern Rod and Custom and the Australian Botanical
Gardens. There is a separate flyer in this Hornet edition that outlines the Itinerary and arrangements for the weekend. Also included
is a separate Registration form to complete for those interested in attending. The deadline for this form is Thursday 14 th April. There is no
up-front payment but rather members are to make their own motel booking at the Courtyard Motor Inn at a cost of $109 per night. This motel
has been reserved for our club. Other expenses to be paid for at the time of purchase.

towards
Harcourt and
turn off at the
service road
towards
Castlemaine
and Harcourt.
Unfortunately I
cannot reserve
parking for the
club. But if it is
busy we can
park along the road
closest to the railway
line. I will be there to
assist. There is a café

Again they do not take
bookings. But I believe
this should be a great
