ABOUT OUR CLUB
The Falcon GT Owner’s Club of NSW was formed in July, 1979 by a small band of Falcon GT
enthusiasts. The aims of the Club are the preservation, maintenance, restoration, and enjoyment of
Falcon GT’s.
Whilst the Club is an “owners club”, that is for owners of Falcon GT’s, membership is available in two
categories:
1. “FULL” MEMBERSHIP:- available only to registered owners and their
immediate families, of genuine factory manufactured Falcon GT’s.
2. “ASSOCIATE” MEMBERSHIP:- available to any person and their immediate
families, having an interest in Falcon GT’s. You will, hopefully, own a Ford,
however this is not mandatory.
Generally a member of either category is eligible to participate in club activities however,
there are restrictions with regard to voting on club issues. You should refer to the club
constitution or speak to a committee member for details.
Monthly runs are held, usually alternating between “long” and “short” runs, with at least one
“weekend-away” run held annually. Wherever possible we seek venues which provide good facilities,
and enable us to park our cars together and keep an eye on them. Combined club runs are also held
with other car clubs – Ford and other marques. These runs are social occasions that provide the
opportunity for members to combine the enjoyment of their vehicles with a relaxed days outing with
others in the club.
The Club is affiliated with the Combined Ford Clubs of NSW (CFC) and together with other Ford
Clubs participate in an annual “All Ford Day” that is held on the Sunday closest to July 30th (Henry
Ford’s birthday). In addition an annual Swap Meet is organised by the CFC.
We are always on the lookout for new activities in which to participate and to this end members may be
invited to represent the club and display their vehicles at car shows and other special events. We hold a
club Christmas party and celebrate our Birthday in July, thereby providing an excuse for a mid-year
party.
You should speak to a Events Committee member for more information on Club activities.
A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER IS POSTED TO ALL MEMBERS, THIS NEWSLETTER
CONTAINS INFORMATION OF COMING EVENTS, A LIST OF NEW MEMBERS
TOGETHER WITH ITEMS OF INTEREST AND OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION. IN
ADDITION THERE IS A “FOR SALE” & “WANTED” SECTION, IN WHICH MEMBERS
MAY PLACE ADVERTISEMENTS FREE OF CHARGE.
The Club keeps in touch with other Ford clubs around Australia swapping newsletters and magazines.
Club merchandise including shirts, cloth badges and car stickers are available for purchase, along with
many other items. Availability depends on demand and therefore you should ask the Club
Merchandiser what is currently in stock.
The Club meets at 7:30 pm on the second Monday of each month in "The Crown" located on the corner of Fairfield Road and McCredie Road, Guildford West. Prospective members are always welcome, so please come along and make
yourself known.
Cost: One off $10 joining fee and the annual fee of $50
