2021 - The VMC is commencing its 2021 events with a picnic lunch on Australia Day at Kurrajong, and a Coffee 'n Cars at Annangrove in February.
Our "away events" for 2021 will be the CHMC Bush Council's Annual Rally at Temora and the Pre-31 Autumn Tour at Dubbo, and our own weekend Mountain and Anniversary Rallies.
Monthly local events are also planned for the rest of the year, to be held around the Greater Sydney area.
In 2020 the VMC entered its 66th year of vintage motoring events. Like all clubs we had a full calendar of both VMC and invitational events planned for 2020 including the VMC's monthly drives, our traditional weekend-long Mountain and Anniversary Rallies, the Pre-31 Autumn Tour in Dubbo, Temora's Bush Council Rally and various State and National rallies and one-make gatherings. The COVID -19 Pandemic travel and gathering restrictions, as with all other clubs, put an end to our events schedule pretty much just as our year of vintage motoring had started.
The VMC resumed events in the latter months of 2020 with several pleasant picnic runs that allowed our vintage and historic cars to get a good run. and members to catch-up, while complying all the time with the Covid restrictions.
In 2019 the Vintage Motor Club members, families and guests enjoyed our usual full calendar of motoring events such as the VMC's Mountain Rally in July (an event which has been held annually for over 45 years) with a great observation drive to Tarana, Sofala and Wallerawang, we held a fun Motorkhana and a social drive on National Motoring Heritage Day. The VMC had 10 cars attend the big Pre-31 Autumn Tour at Orange, and supported local and community events such as the Australiana Pioneer Village's Australia Day display, our mildly competitive vintage driving events included the annual 2-day Anniversary Rally in October, as well as our monthly driving events.
In 2018 The Vintage Motor Club enjoyed: A display at the Australiana Pioneer Village. The Annual Easter CHMC Rally around Narrabri where one of our younger VMC Associate Members brought home the Best 1980s Car Trophy. The Motorkhana with a Difference started at Wiseman's Ferry thence to Lemon Tree for some driving skills tests. A large number of VMC members enjoyed the Pre-31 Autumn Tour at Parkes. For National Motoring Heritage Day the VMC held have a social lunch run. Our Annual Mountain Rally toured to Gunning, Crookwell and Goulburn for great vintage motoring. Despite wet weather we followed the wonderful Hawkesbury Artists Trail. British car owning members supported All British Day. In October the VMC held a Drive for Drought Aid with our friends from the Veteran Car Club NSW, we raised funds for the CWA Drought Appeal with a run to a VMC Member's property and vintage car collection. The Ladies Day Luncheon, where we acknowledge VMC ladies who either drive vintage cars or who navigate them, was a pleasant long lunch. Our annual Christmas event was a convivial dinner at the Hills Motor Lodge enjoyed by a large number of members and guests.
