The Clubs Logo seems to have only changed twice -
The 1943 Members Cards had the image of an MG T series and just the words ;
" Northern Sports Car Club
Incorporated "
The " Members Card " [ courtesy of Bob Kidd - President 1978 - 81 ]
The original logo from the 1950's as shown on the recent pages posted by Milan Fistonic
here cropped from his post of the 1953 Wairamarama Hill Climb.
Trevor Sheffield may know if this was also a badge for members - either lapel or a larger car badge ?
The later logo from the 1960's Had a sticker like it on the windscreen of my first car in 1967.

John Coker an NSCC Member for many years,Trials and later Rally Driver, ran a Skoda 120 at one stage - an ex-works car is now a keen cyclist and took photos recently.
He noted that his time up the Hill [ even though a better track and slightly different layout ] was his slowest ever.

These images came from Richard Bauz of Switzerland [ has the Fb name Sand Mandli ] He owns the " Orchid Special " that Keith Yeates / Yeats ** built around 1969-61 [ a bit of a story there ] and raced in the 1960's
Keith's surname spelt both as Yeats and YeatEs ..
Programme Cover NSCC meeting December 1966 and some entry lists which show Keith was an NSCC member and entered under that club.
Think this is the entry list from the December 1966 programme
Other entry lists with the Orchid under NSCC entry by Keith Yeates / Yeats. **
See Trevor Sheffield and his Daimler SP250 #215 in the last three entry lists - appear to be from the same meeting.

Entry Cover and list from the NSCC Hiilclimb at Ostrich Farm Road - Gold Star event in 1961 with Keith Yeats entered - from his archives which Richard now has.
Must have been one of the earliest events for the " Orchid ".
The full entry list - with some times for the cars
A Certificate for Keith Yeates in the Orchid at an NSCC Race meeting in 1962
Great to know this information has been kept.
Richard is looking for more information on the car
Motorman Magazine front cover, article and a Castrol Advert about the results - all from Milan Fistonic.
A series pf photos from a competitor John " Larry " Lawton will follow :
The Cover ; Motorman July 1965

Farmers Carpark - the start
Control at Ngatea ;
Wayne Jones in the Imp = didn't he run a Simca 1000 at some time - again a rear engined 1000cc car ??

John Larry Lawton photos
Control at Ngatea - including the Marshall and his car.
After the finish - a lap or two at Pukekohe - numbers are off for the drive home.

Historic Times coming up for NSCC .. 1971 the Clubrooms at Mt Richmond Domain were first actively promoted and then constructed in 1972 so 50 years ago it started.
1942 the first gatherings of the "social club " began.
2021/2022 will be therefore 50th and 80th Anniversary's of major events in the clubs history.
2023 would be the Clubs " Official " 80th year as incorporated in October 1943.
There is some chatter about a function for the clubrooms which hopefully leads into 80th Anniversary Celebrations.
Rod Peat, Mal Clark [ formely of Bygone Autos ] and Bob Homewood all competitors from the 1960's ,Bob, 1970's, Rod and Mal and on, are sounding the idea out.
Hopefully it will develop into some great functions and events.
