August already, and with a following breeze, the run to the summer has begun.. Which is probably me being a little optimistic but I am a bit over winter. Having said that, the last few months have been a lot of fun running the Elite in a series of three quite different events, but they all had one thing in common … Read More
Wrapping Up WA’s August 2026 Early Morning Run
Thanks to John Edmondson We’re just back from a pleasant day out in the cars, with our August Early Morning Run held last Sunday the 9th. The weather was forecast to be miserable, but the weather gods were in our favour and provided pleasant sunshine and not a cloud in sight.
Ashton’s President’s Prattle for July, 2027
Morning everyone, Look at that, halfway through the year already! At least the sun has shown its face occasionally, although last weekend was spectacularly changeable, and even more spectacularly wet, which was particularly tiresome as we were competing in the NSWRRC 10 hour endurance relay. I happened to be the one out on the circuit as the heavens opened, and … Read More
Ashton’s President’s Prattle for June, 2026
Good morning! Yes, this is vey late for the May edition, and might almost qualify as June’s edition. Apologies, I got distracted by work, and some fun things! Including a last minute drive day which a few of us did over the long weekend. Amazingly (and counter to the doomsayers who predicted us being impounded by the filth) we had … Read More

Recapping 2026’s Beecroft to Robertson Rustle
With huge thanks to Craig Sheppard for both organising and writing! The 1st of March dawned dull, grey and wet, but that did little to deter 29 intrepid CLA members and guests as we met at Café Long Shot for the start of the Beecroft to Robertson Rustle. After fuelling up with coffee, eggs and whatever else took fancy we … Read More

Ashton’s President’s Prattle for February, 2026
I’m not sure who to credit for this wonderfully evocative photo of Bruce in Lurch (Bruce’s Elite) next to Brian Caldersmith at Wakefield – if anyone knows more detail on this one, I am all ears! Happy New Year (if its not too late) and I hope you had a lovely break over the summer. And who knows, maybe even … Read More
