A Presidential Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Austin A30-A35 Owners' Club, a resource for all
Austin enthusiasts and friends of the baby Austin.
The website contains much information about the club, the cars, the activities
and events but if you have a specific question please make contact via the e
mail address.
Based in the UK, the Austin A30-A35 Owners' Club was founded in 1970 and has
engendered a successful and enduring friendly family atmosphere that has
acquired an international reputation. Today the Club has a world wide membership
with fellow enthusiasts in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa, Scandinavia,
USA and many mainland European countries.
The various models of the baby Austin certainly invoke friendship, bonhomie and
pleasure with the members exchanging technical knowledge, information and their
own experiences to the benefit of all.
The Austin A30-A35 Owners' Club is administered by a National Committee
consisting of volunteer members willing to undertake certain roles and
responsibilities to ensure the smooth running of the Club. This Committee is
supported by a network of Local Groups which exist around the country. There
will be a Local Group near where you live.
The Club publishes two magazines, Spotlight (twice per year) and Sidelights
(twice per year) that contain technical tips and information, historical facts
and figures together with reports from Local Groups containing news of local
rallies and other activities.
The highlight of each year is the International Rally that is held during the
last weekend of May. Each year the venue for the Rally moves to a different part
of the UK and is organized by one of the Local Groups. Members from all over the
world attend to meet and greet old friends, probably not seen since the previous
year's Rally, and to make new acquaintances. Of course the vehicles play an
important part too with judging taking place and trophies awarded.
As a member of the Austin A30-A35 Owners' Club for over 25 years I can vouch for
the helpful friendliness of the members and the thrill of driving the cars,
especially the smiles invoked as we drive by both young and old, and long may it
continue.
I hope that this welcome has inspired you to join us and I look forward to
meeting you at one of our rallies and sharing the pleasure of Club membership
with you.
