The Hillman Owners Club of Australia Inc was formed in September 1983. The primary aim is to promote the restoration and preservation of Hillmans in original form. A Register is maintained with the details of all members' Hillman vehicles (engine number, model. etc.). In addition, such details of all pre-World War II Hillmans which come to our notice are recorded (whether member owned or not). It should also be mentioned that this club has celebrated it's 20th year anniversary in 2003.The Club also aims to provide a source of information about Hillman vehicles and to provide assistance to people wishing to own and maintain Hillmans.
The Club has a membership in excess of Eighty Five members, and with a following from overseas, sort of makes us an International Club. A new course was taken to introduce four classes of membership they include full, associate, family, and junior. We are trying to encourage younger people to take an interest in our club activities, and the ongoing restoration of the Hillman Marque. Cars within the club are a mixed breed and the level of presentation is very high.
Commercial vehicles are permitted in our club, they include, Hillman Commer, Karrier, and Vulcan vehicles. Members have access to our library, which is growing all the time. Workshop manuals and repair manuals are available on a loan basis to all members.
Hillman National Rally's are held every two years and have been held by the New South Wales and Victorian clubs, as well as the South Australian club. These rallies have led to a number of friendships being made between members of the various clubs. Needless to say that they are a real hoot as well.
A very good quality newsletter is distributed every month to our membership both local and overseas, copies are also posted to the other clubs in Australia. They supply the reader with information regarding Events, Technical Tips and so on ,as well a laugh or two.
Events are held every month, and all members are invited to share a chin wag, a laugh, and a BBQ. Christmas in July has become some what of a tradition in our club and is awaited with anticipation every year. Other events held throughout the year are also very enjoyable and sometimes relaxing.
Our monthly General Meetings are held the 3rd Wednesday of the month at Ermington Community Centre River Road Ermington N.S.W. Starting at 8.00pm .Please refer to your Hillman Newsletter for more information .
