Car club is a real classic

NOOSA’S Classic Car Club celebrated another year of successful events with a recent Christmas party at the Noosa Waterfront Restaurant and Bar.
Club spokesperson Noel St John-Wood said the club’s event calendar was “full-on” this year with around 35 events held including social outings, car runs, shed tours, the Noosa Beach Classic Car Show, as well as the winter and summer Noosa Hill Climb events.
“It’s a great club to be part of and that’s reflected in the membership which is currently at 262, this year we have averaged five new members per month,” he said.
“We all have a passion for Classic Cars and I’m always impressed by the cars that people own or have just purchased and keep emerging from restorations.
“There are so many different makes of classics in the club including Riley, Bentley, MG, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Jaguar, Oldsmobile, Porsche, Mercedes and plenty of models from the Ford and Holden marques.”
Noel said the Noosa region is just perfect for driving Classic cars with many of the club’s runs through the small towns of the Hinterland.
“We are also very proud of our club’s achievements in helping local charity groups and worthy causes with our total donations reaching $180,000 since the club began in 1988 and our major events support around $10,000 worth of fundraising by the Rotary Club, Noosa Sea Scouts, Noosa Men’s Shed to name a few,” he said.
“We wish everyone a Merry Christmas with family and friends.”
