CLUB PROFILE The Australian Austin A30 Car Club was formed in 1980 by dedicated enthusiasts keen to promote and preserve as many Austin A30's and A35's as possible, and to give car owners a chance to share ideas and interact. The club covers all Australia and has members in each state. Monthly meetings and events enable members and their families to enjoy their cars and to develop friendships with others with a mutual interest. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 8.00pm in the Uniting Church Hall, 316 Camberwell Road. Camberwell ( a suburb of Melbourne).
