S aturday morning was cool and brightly overcast for

our display in the centre of Mansfield’s main street
in conjunction with the morning markets. Many people
visited to learn about Hornets.
Lynne Prentice and friend Michelle turned up on bicycles
and announced that they would cycle 40 km of the High
Country Tour to Jamieson, an old gold-mining town, and
meet us for lunch (and then cycle back).
We left at 11.00 am for Jameson and it didn’t rain so we
could enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the Austra-
lian bush in open-topped motoring. Thank you to Lynne
for cycling; your editor rode with John Prentice in the Lynne and Michelle returning from Jamieson

Brewery on the banks of the Goulburn River with their
special XBA or Raspberry Ale.
The return was just as enjoyable …. And we passed Lynne
and Michelle toiling up a very long hill … And we pho-

Dinner that night was at the Dellatite Hotel with a crisp
walk home.

S unday morning we departed in the drizzling rain at

7.15 am for the 75 km drive to the 46th Historic Winton
Race Meeting.
What a huge event with under-cover pits for hundreds of
historic race cars and motorcycles and two dozen sidecars,
wonderfully managed by 130 volunteers from the Austin Returning to Mansfield at speed.

It rained all day but as an invited club we had the comfort of an enclosed viewing area displaying Austin 7s and his-
toric rally cars. Lots of silly people raced around the wet track, the really silly ones on motorcycles or sidecars (only
one fell off that I saw, and he walked away). Unfortunately, our own Brian Parkinson in the historic Harris Special

did receive this year, the WHSCA Gullan Trophy for “Success in
Competition”.
We all returned safely to Mansfield for a warm shower and dinner
at the Golf Club.

M onday morning we set out for a picnic amongst the statuesque

mountain eucalypts (dead straight and up to 80 metres tall)

where the Kelly Brothers - horse and cattle thieves - and two oth-
ers murdered three policemen in 1878. They were the only people The Kelly tree blaze, almost overgrown.
declared “Outlaws” in Victoria, which meant “Shoot on sight”.
It was cold and wet and after an inspection of the memorials and
a short walk to “the tree”, with the camping facilities in Michael
Santin’s van, the back of the Clucas’s ute and pumpkin soup, wraps
and cake organized by the Balthazar’s we had a most enjoyable
lunch.
Dinner that night was wine, left-overs and happy reminising in the
Clucas, Balthazar and Hancock suite at the resort.

T uesday was a transport stage to Ballarat with sandwich lunch

(organized by John Clucas) at Ivan and Cheryl Stephens’
property to inspect his collection of 2½ and 3½ litre SS100s, Mk

IVs and a very pretty unrestored 1932 2 litre SS1 Coupe.

Tuesday night was the Ballarat Ghost Tour. The Ballarat gold rush
began in 1851 and the city became very wealthy with grand Victo-
rian architecture ….. and, of course, the Eureka Stockade of which
Mark Twain said after his later visit, “… I think it may be called
the finest thing in Australasian history. It was a revolution - small
in size, but great politically; it was a strike for liberty, a struggle for
a principle, a stand against injustice and oppression.” We didn’t see
any ghosts (but apparently some only appear on developed film)
but certainly admired the architecture and the Federation University
sensitively incorporated into the old jail buildings. Ahh ...... Hot pumpkin soup...! Chefs John and
Michael.

Vale John Ireland

John Ireland was a Life Member of the Wolseley Hornet Special Club in the UK and the foundation treasurer of the
Wolseley Hornet Special Club of Australia. He passed away in November 2022.
John was extremely knowledgeable on Hornets and Hornet Specials, particularly the varying details between Sanctions
and shared his experience freely with other owners. He was knowledgeable on the development of the early Hornet
engine and researched and wrote magazine and newsletter articles.
John preserved the only known surviving example of an original 1930 Hornet saloon in Australia, which he trans-
formed with a 12/12 camshaft, twin carburettors and a 4-speed gearbox and delighted in showing passengers how it
would keep up with modern traffic.
Bill Russell: John Ireland served in office for the WHSCA for 22 years – always obliging, always on the ball, always
ready to arrange complicated payments to the UK for subs or parts, and always offering the sage advice that has
allowed our club, small as it is, to run so well. Thanks to the foundation set by John it ticks over smoothly like his
unique 1930 Hornet saloon. Not everyone is willing to be treasurer of a club – not everyone is capable – but John
did it in his stride.
John is remembered as one of those who sustained interest in the marque when there were very few examples left on
the road in Australia.

MINUTES OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
26 MAY 2023 6.00pm
Mansfield Hotel, 86 High Street, Mansfield Vic

1. PRESENT/WELCOME
John & Annabelle Clucas, John & Sharon Balthazar, John & Fran Higham, Henry Hancock, Peter Healy, Mark
McKibbin, David & Yvonne Armstrong, John Mallia, Colin Hey, Michael Santin, Bevan Cursley, Bill Russell &
Liz Aird, John & Lynne Prentice, Lyle & Margaret Cooper, Peter & Julie Jefferies.
Visitors: Matthew Hey; Robin Nettelbeck; Alan Jones (ex member - Sunday 28 May – Winton).
Tom Scherek, Louis Santin and Les Drew joined us in Ballarat, as well as some members
from the Jaguar Club.
Club President John Clucas hosted the meeting which had been set at this time of the year so cars could be involved
in the Winton Historic Races on 27-28 May, with eight Hornets on show. John welcomed everyone to Mansfield
with special mention of three members who had not attended an AGM before – Mark McKibbin, Colin Hey and
Peter Healy. The President also mentioned the Cooke’s were unable to make the trip from NZ this year. Bill and
Rhonda Trollope were disappointed not to attend due to family illness. John Prentice and Margaret Cooper updated
members on the Trollope’s situation and asked for their thoughts and prayers.
President thanked Michael Santin, John and Sharon Balthazar and Bill Russell for all the work they have done in
organising the extended weekend, including the information bags. He asked Michael and John to update members
on the weekend program. Margaret Cooper advised that the Jones family would be bringing the “Corbin” car to
Winton. John Clucas suggested members may be interested in a stop-over in Seymour on the way to Ballarat to
see a Jaguar collection. Members were asked to advise him of their interest.
Mention was made of members getting on with their restorations: Bill Trollope, John Higham, Don and Carole
Santin, Bevan Cursley and John Clucas; and how good it was to see Peter Jeffries car “Blondie” now up and run-
ning, as well as John Prentice back on the road. Peter responded that he was grateful for all the work and support
from David Armstrong that had bought this car back to reality.
2. APOLOGIES
Gerry Dunford, Peter Baker & Jo Lord, Bill & Rhonda Trollope, John Summerfield, Jon and Kate Cooke, Tony
Eccles & Karen, Gavin & Wendy Turner. Apologies were also received from Brian Parkinson who would be at-
tending the Winton event; and Don and Carole Santin who would join us at Ballarat.
3. MINUTES OF AGM OF 9 SEPTEMBER 2022
Minutes of the 2022 AGM were published in the newsletter following the meeting and provided to members be-
fore this meeting. Acceptance of the minutes as a true record of the meeting was moved by Henry Hancock and
seconded by Peter Jeffries. Motion carried.
4. MATTERS ARISING FROM MINUTES
4.1 Use of bank funds – Public Liability Insurance (PLI)– The President advised that after negotiations with insur-
ance companies, the Committee had decided not to go ahead with PLI as it was expensive, we only hold one
function a year, and because we are an encorporated entity, liability is limited to the assets of the Club.
4.2 Club Regalia – The President noted that nothing had been done regarding John Mallia’s suggestion last meet-
ing. However, John advised it would be very expensive to get stock of caps etc with only 30+ members in the
Club. Henry Hancock also intimated that the UK Club has Hornet memorabilia that can be purchased.

Issue 93 Page 7
5. MEMBERSHIP
The Secretary advised that there were no new members this year. Resignations had been received from Eric Bishop
(ex Murray Couper car – now for sale) and Des McCall. Another Hornet ex Monty Schofield and presently with
Patricia Hanley is also for sale in Qld.
Two long-term members had passed away in recent months – Richard Calver and John Ireland. The President asked
Bill Russell to speak on their passing. Bill alluded to the fact that John Ireland had been the first Club Treasurer
from 2003-2016 and he and his wife Dee had contributed much to the Club. Richard Calver had been a member
for many years and attended the Swan Hill AGM in 2008 in his Jensen.
6. CORRESPONDENCE
The Secretary advised that new members received a letter of welcome and that resignations were acknowledged.
The club President, Secretary and Editor regularly receive emailed minutes of meetings of the UK Club, together
with related correspondence.
7. TREASURER’S REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022-23
The printed financial statement and Treasurer’s Report for the year ended 31 March 2023 was distributed with the
meeting papers with the recommendation that no changes to the current club subscription rate was required. The
Treasurer, Bill Trollope was unable to attend. There being no questions from members or comments contrary to
Bill’s recommendation, John Prentice moved acceptance of the statement, seconded by Henry Hancock. Motion
carried.
As a consequence, membership fees for 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 will remain as follows:
Non-Member – newsletter (emailed) $10
Membership – newsletter (emailed) + UK Affiliate $40
Membership – newsletter (posted) + UK Affiliate $72
Membership – newsletter (posted overseas) + Affiliate $75

Member (posted newsletter) Full UK Membership *$139 (if paid by 30/4/2024)
*Subject to UK/AUD exchange rate (+$20 late fee if not paid by 30/4/2024)
8. REGISTRAR’S REPORT
Michael Santin, Registrar, spoke to his report and advised he had not been able to spend much research time this
year. He intimated that Margaret Cooper had researched a story on Betty Corbin and her Hornet.
With regard to the 1934 Hornet Specials where 45 were delivered to Australia, there still remain six ghosts – cars
we have never seen an image of, let alone any physical evidence. Michael made members aware that funding of
TROVE (driven by the National Library), which is a national free searchable database of publications and media,
had the threat of funding being denied which would be catastrophic for researchers of information.
2023 sees ongoing activity by Bill Russell with his HornetWorks establishment in Ballarat which members are
visiting next week. It is now operational and car club tours have been presented with the history of Wolseley
Hornets; as well as on-going works to re-commission some of the vehicles on show.
Michael moved acceptance of his report seconded by
John Balthazar. Motion carried.
9. EDITOR’S REPORT
Henry Hancock, Editor’s report was distributed with
meeting papers. Henry spoke to the report, indicating
that, although the website works very well, he could see
room for further development. Henry also advised that
special reports such as the Betty Corbin story could be
added to the website. Details on HornetWorks should
also be added. Henry emphasised the need for members
to continue sending him fresh material for the newslet-
ter. The meeting acknowledged the quality of Henry’s
Michael Santin presents his Registrar’s Report. work with the newsletter and website and reiterated the

Page 8 Hornet Special Newsletter

 importance of the newsletter in keeping the club together.
Henry moved acceptance of his report seconded by John Prentice. Motion carried.
10. SPARE PARTS
Hard copy of Lyle Cooper’s report on the status and holdings of club spare parts was presented with the meeting
papers, together with a list of various parts that members have available. Lyle Cooper advised that he is willing
to look for other parts amongst the club’s spares held at Gerry Dunford’s home. Lyle also presented and spoke on
the various spares he was developing for use by Club members. He showed moulds he had made to make engine
mounts etc from polyurethane which are available for members use. John Balthazar had 3D printed a steering cap
which printed in nylon would cost $85USD. He also had 2 shackle pin retainers available for $15 a set.
11. TROPHIES
The President advised that the Club has three historic tro-
phies which are awarded most years to the most deserving
members. The trophies are now housed in Bill Russell’s
Ballarat facility, and a certificate is issued to each winner.
After briefly outlining the significance of each trophy, the
president announced the winners as follows:
• Wheels and Wings Trophy (awarded for “Resto-
ration Progress”): Peter Jefferies
Peter was presented with the Certificate by the President
and again acknowledged and thanked David Armstrong
for being responsible for the restoration of his car.
• Howard and Alison Kenward Trophy (a “Club
Person Award”): Jon & Kate Cooke for making the trip
from NZ to attend meetings nearly every year.

else should take on the position. It was moved by Liz Aird and seconded by John Mallia that Sharon Balthazar be
elected President. Motion carried.

Issue 93 Page 9
 Margaret Cooper offered a formal vote of thanks to the outgoing President. John responded that he had enjoyed
the time as President and getting to know more about members and their vehicles. John Prentice also spoke on his

Secretary – Margaret Cooper
Treasurer – Bill Trollope
Vice Presidents - NSW/ACT – John Higham; Qld – Peter Baker; Vic – John Balthazar; SA – Peter Jeffries; NZ -
Jon Cooke.
Editor – Henry Hancock
Registrar – Michael Santin
13. ACTIVITIES FOR 2024
The possibility of having an AGM in Tasmania was still an option, as well as visiting or having a meeting in NZ.
It was agreed that the 2024 AGM event would be held in Qld, preferably on the Sunshine Coast and at a later time
of the year, probably October after school holidays. This would be arranged by Qld members, John and Annabelle
Clucas, Lyle and Margaret Cooper, Peter Baker and Jo Lord, Henry Hancock and Peter Healy.
14. GENERAL BUSINESS
14.1 UK Magazine – It was difficult for members to know when this was available and how to
access it.
It was suggested that the Secretary contact the UK Club and ask if they could notify Australian members
when the Magazine was released and how to access it.
Henry Hancock suggested that perhaps the monthly Newsletters that were sent by email to members could
have a notification flag added, such as “Magazine Out Now” on the relevant monthly newsletter.
There being no further business, the outgoing President thanked those in attendance and closed the meeting at
7.15pm, when dinner was served. Following dinner, John Clucas gave a presentation on the stories of the cars he
has owned over the years.

John Clucas presenting on the many cars he’s owned... .... and the audience sympathizing with his obsession.

POST SCRIPT:
A separate report on the AGM weekend’s activities is published in the Newsletter.
An email received from the Jones family who were invited to join us at the Winton event.
Dear Hornetters,
On behalf of the Jones families ( Rob, Cameron, Peter, and myself Alan), thanks very much for inviting our families
to join you at Historic Winton.

 Eddie Ford from “Restored Cars” said he may do a feature on the Betty Corbin car, and Ted from “Australian
Street Rodding” a Tech feature.
Peter provided some photos of the club display on Sunday to Restored Cars, as Eddie didn’t go to the race track,
and instead to a Museum.
The rain on Sunday, had a positive side, I got my dusty old “dry as a bone” I had stored behind the ute seat clean,
and all the Owl “icing” and dust washed from my WHS car cover. Jokes aside, despite it being cool, and that
Suzuki wouldn’t go away, I had a great time on the track. It was great meeting everyone from the club again.
Special thanks to Margaret, and John.
Congratulations to Bill Russell and his HornetWorks in Bal-
larat. Our visit to his establishment, made more welcoming by
coffee/tea/refreshments, memorabilia, books and of course the
Hornets.
Bill gave us a run down on the history of his founding of the
enterprise and a history of the vehicles in the building, providing
a souvenir brochure.
On Wed 31 May 2023, as part of Bill’s ideas of celebrating the
marque, he launched a HornetWorks Hall of Fame with his
nomination of the first three persons to be inaugurated.

Bill Russell at HornetWorks.

• Dame Mabel Brookes (nee Emmerton 1890-1975)
a famous social campaigner and charity worker who owned a
1932 Ruskin Bodied Wolseley Hornet fabric sedan No 105814. Dame Mabel was
awarded the CBE in 1933, the DBE in 1955, the Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur
by the French Government in 1960. Among famous people she hosted were General
Douglas Macarthur and US President LBJ in Melbourne. She was friends with Roger
and Judy Henderson, who owned a sporty Hornet Special coupe displayed at the
1934 Melbourne Motor Show. (Bill has Dame Mabel’s car in bits at HornetWorks
and it is slowly being restored. He spoke to her about the car in 1965 when she said
“I loved my little Hornet”)

• Don and Carole Santin.  Don bought his first old Wolseley (in which he drove
400,000 miles) in the 1950s and at one stage ended up having over 100 different
Wolseleys in his possession (many dismantled and under the house).  For sixty years

Don used his knowledge and immense stock of spares to help dozens of owners of
Sedan. pre-war Wolseleys to remain on the road. In 1967 Don and Carole purchased the
famous Hornet Special of Sport King, a funeral director who was very successful
in the 1940s and 50s in motor sport, at Rob Roy and Pakenham and in many trials.
Don and Carole used their Hornet Special to take their band and instruments to many
gigs, and are the parents of Michael (our Registrar) and Louis Santin, a leading auto
engineer specialising in the finest vintage cars.
• Howard and Alison Kenward. Howard was
the inaugural President of the Wolseley Hornet
Special Club of Australia and held this position
for many years. Alison would have to receive the
award for the most attentive partner, always at his
side, either under the bonnet or making refreshments
for the various events. Margaret Cooper had the

Number Crunching
Henry, I’ve crunched the numbers:
The average distance each member travelled across Australia in attending and participating in AGM activities was
1903km. For UK readers, that’s like travelling from Bournemouth to Inverness AND back again, just for an AGM
!!
Over the weekend, the total distance travelled by all Hornets under their own power was 2467km.
Cheers,
John C
