This blog is a little late because I have been on holiday, but I have returned.

The May issue of Vintage Metal features a three-page gallery of great

photographs from the Northam Festival of Speed. There were also obituaries for one of Western Australia’s top race drivers of the 1960s, Mike Tighe,  and for Russell Murison, an enthusiastic member of the VSCC from Esperance, who passed away after a long fight with illness.

VSCC member David Moir supplied the story, with photographs, of the Longford Revival Festival in Tasmania, while Bill Buys provided an article describing the Spikins Singer Bantam, part of VSCC member Trevor

Eastwood’s fleet of classic cars.

An unfortunate incident that resulted in injury to one of the club’s most enthusiastic supporters, Robyn Larkin, during the Northam event was described by Lynn Oxwell. Ross Oxwell followed up this story with an explanation of the rules that govern Regularity Trials and the necessity to follow the rules in order to comply with the requirements of our insurance cover.

The results of the Motorkhana and Hillclimb held on the Saturday of the Northam Festival were included as two-page spreads.

Overall I am pleased with the May issue, which extended to 28 pages to accommodate all of the content.
