Car club rally

The Car Club will be operating again in 1972 and judging by the popularity of the Club last year, (its first full year of operation) it will grow to even greater strength. Naturally, with the growth of the Club, the Committee has been able to obtain some benefits for Members which would pay Any Car Owner to join the Club even if they do not take part in events held by the Club (which is not very likely.) These benefits include an exclusive discount available to Members of the Victoria University Car Club Inc. on purchases of new tyres and retreads. With an annual subscription for Students of only $2.00 You will be able to save well over this amount throughout the year by using this exclusive discount. The subscription also includes a University Car Club window sticker, and free entry into your first event.

The Club will be holding its first event for 1972 on Sunday afternoon, March 5th, starting at 1.45pm. from the Top University Car Park in Kelburn Parade. This event is a Car Rally especially designed for those who have never before taken part in a Car Rally (although "old hands" can enter if they wish). The event will end with a Bar-B-Que, so bring food and drink with you Cars taking part in a Car Rally are not permitted to carry drink during the course of the event but about getting that to the finish as the Club will provide alternative transport for your refreshments to the finish where you can collect it when you arrive. Simply hand, the drink into the Flagon Wagon at the start, clearly marked with your name, and it will be waiting for you at the finish If you have ever thought that you would like to take part in a Car Rally and have never before had the opportunity, then don't let this one slip by.

Very little equipment is needed to take part in Car Club events: the basics include a car, three or four people, some biros, paper, and a clock. Why don't you make up a crew and come to the next event — the only restriction on entry is that one person in the crew mutt be a Member of the Car Club. Application forms, to join the Club, for those who didn't get one when they enrolled are available by writing to The Secretary, VUWCar Club Inc. P.O.Box 196, Wellington, or join at the start.

The Club is in the process of becoming affiliated with the Motorsport Association of New Zealand which meant that any University Car Club member will be able to take part in other Car Club events throughout New Zealand. Those who would like to try their car in a hill climb, or a Levin Meeting will then be able to take part if they with.

Keep an eye on the Car Club noticeboard for Car Club information about coming events, results of past events or other motering information. The noticeboard it situated at the Eastern end, first floor, of the University Union Building and it known as Car Club Corner.
