FIND OUT WHY OUR MEMBERS ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THE WESTERN DISTRICT CAR CLUB.
On the 23rd August 1946, ten men gathered at the Small Bore Rifle Club rooms in Little Malop Street Geelong. The instigator of this meeting was Mr. Frank Pratt and the purpose was to organise a car club. At that stage there were none in Geelong. Of the ten men, only nine have been identified to date. They are: Frank Pratt, Tom Hawkes, Jack Stubbs, Ron Gowty, Bruce Archibald, Jim Gibson, Eric Robertson, Laurie Ellis, Murray Rainey.
Soon after this initial meeting, the club officially took the title “Western District Car Club” (many members were from the Western District) and became affiliated with the Light Car Club of Aust. Frank Pratt was elected first club president and Jack Stubbs secretary.
