FE-HR Holden Owners' Club (ACT)
History Incorporated in April 1987, the FE-HR Holden Owners Club ACT was originally created to cater for Holden enthusiasts that prefer the 1956-67 models introduced after the FX-FJ’s and before the first Holden factory V8’s. Membership Now celebrating 19 years, membership is open to anyone that has an interest in Holdens, whether their vehicles are original daily drivers, restored show cars, modified street machines or modern vehicles. Single membership is $35 and family membership is $40. Activities The club hosts monthly member activities and participates in local and interstate runs and displays with many other Holden Clubs. The club has hosted several ACT Holden Day events and during Easter 2005, the 10th FE-FC Holden Nationals in Jindabyne NSW. Meetings The club meets at 8pm on the second Thursday of each month (excluding January) at the Weston Club, 1 Liardet Street, Weston ACT. The club meets on the fourth Thursday of each month to consider club business and prepare the magazine. Magazine The club produces a monthly magazine “Pist’n’Broke” which is distributed to all members. Now past is 200th issue, the magazine regularly features member news, club events calendar, run reports, classifieds, technical information and reviews of Holden material. Technical Information Club members are available to provide newcomers with technical advice on authentic restorations and custom modifications. Some members have decades of mechanical experience and many club vehicles have received awards at local and national events. Trailer In 1992, the club purchased an FB Holden station sedan and undertook a major project to convert into a trailer to promote the club at official events. The front section was removed and the wagon painted in club colours and signwriting. Another restoration is scheduled for 2006 to give the trailer a facelift. Historic Rego (CRS) The club is officially affiliated with the Council of ACT Motor Clubs enabling members access to the Concessional Registration Scheme (CRS). All club vehicles over 30 years old are eligible for “historic” rego if they adhere to the guidelines. Perpetual Awards The club hosts two annual functions, the committee changeover dinner and family Christmas party. At these events, the club presents annual awards to those members that have contributed the most to the club during the year, attended the most events or had the worst luck. Forum Club members regularly participate in an online forum hosted on the FE-FC Holden Car Clubs of Australia website. This members only service features updates on the latest club news and events and allows members to discuss various topics. This forum also features a wealth of restoration and modification advice, information on interstate member cars and reproduction parts, general classifieds and discussion.
