We
currently have fifty members from Herefordshire, surrounding
counties,and even continental Europe, meeting on the last Tuesday
of every month at 7.30pm at the Richmond Club, Edgar Street,
Hereford. We subscribe to the Federation of British Historic
Vehicle Clubs and are members of the Austin Seven Clubs
Association (A7CA). To
visit their website, click here.
Our
membership covers a wide range of Austin Seven experience and
technical knowledge. We have members who have driven a Seven
from Peking to Paris (twice in-fact),raced Sevens, and several
others with over forty years’ experience of rebuilding
engines and completely restoring their cars. At
least four members are currently carrying out major long term
restorations.
The
Club has a varied diary of events to suit everyone. Holidays in
England and abroad, Sunday runs, and monthly meetings at the
Richmond Club, Edgar Street, Hereford on the last Tuesday of each
month, are always popular. These are met with both enthusiasm and
participation. Our meetings vary from talks by outside speakers
to ‘Shed nights’ when the whole evening is devoted to
a technical session, usually using an Austin Seven to demonstrate
a theme; ie electrics, timing, carburation, etc.
To
ensure that members who cannot make a club night or access our
website can keep in touch there is a newsletter, the
‘Crankhandle’
published bi-monthly and sent to all members as well as a number
of other A7 Clubs. It contains an interesting mix of technical
articles, event reports, a Diary of planned events and much more.

We
are a friendly club and membership is not expensive with free
visits on the first two occasions. So, if
you own a Seven or have an interest in acquiring one, come
along and see what we have to offer.
