The Austin
Seven Clubrooms are located in Units 8 and 9, at 19-23 Kylie Place,
Cheltenham North, Victoria, Australia.
For the first
45 years members met in
rented premises before purchasing unit 8 in Cheltenham,
which with substantial improvements and modifications,
became the Clubs new permanent home. These Clubrooms were
opened on the 4th February 1995 - a purpose-built auditorium
with spare parts department, committee room, library and a
kitchen set up for refreshments after each meeting-
something which the members could be justifiably proud.
The
Club purchased the next door unit 9 in 2003 and after
renting it out, commenced
in 2013 the major project of joining unit 8 and 9, relocating our spares department to a much
larger purpose built area which was completed in 2015 and
going on to expand the meeting room.
With the opening of our new kitchen
in late 2017, completion of the chair storage
area, carpeting and painting in 2018, the
extension to the meeting room is now finished thanks to the
excellent efforts of a large number of club members. A
selection of Club pictures is presently being added to
restore the Clubroom atmosphere.
The Club holds a Monthly
General Meeting (M.G.M.) at the Clubrooms on the first Wednesday of
every month from February to December, where the formal
business of the club is conducted in a meeting chaired by
the Club President, starting at 8.00 pm. All Club members
can have their say in the Club operation.
A traditional ‘Hot Air
Session’ (H.A.S.) is held at the Clubrooms on the third Wednesday of
every month from February to December, where members can get
together to informally discuss Austin Sevens, Club Events
and anything of interest, with from time to time guest
speakers on related topics. H.A.S. meetings start at 8.15 pm if a
speaker is scheduled.
The Austin
Seven Spares Department located alongside the meeting room
is open
to members on the meeting nights- M.G.M. from 7.30 to 8.00 pm,
H.A.S. from 7.45 to 9.00 pm unless there is a guest speaker and on the Saturday following the
MGM (or the next Saturday if this clashes with a Club Event) from 12.30 to 2.30 pm.
As an assistance to remote
Club members, Austin 7 Spare Parts can be ordered by mail
from Janne and Robert Humphreys, 27 Peters Drive Cheltenham,
Vic 3192 or by email.
