In March 1997 the VVCC was started, and soon started growing despite the fact that there was no clubhouse. Initially meetings were held at the Flying Club, but it was felt that the R50.00 a night fee charged was too high and that an alternative venue should be found.
For a short while meetings were held at Harry's office at Glenbar until he was able to clear out a storeroom located behind the office which was to become the clubhouse. At this stage there were about 10 members and, as this venue was fast becoming too small, Harry offered to give up half of the garage which was attached to the clubhouse. Before long however, even this space proved too small and Harry had to relinquish the remainder of the garage and find alternative parking for his beloved old cars.
Eventually the Town Council was convinced to let the VVCC take over the old "Korfbal" clubhouse which had not been in operation for the last 10 years. The members quickly got going by renovating the old building and adding on a new wing. The Clubhouse is now appox 200 sq.m with a bar, kitchen, toilets, showers etc. - a far cry from its humble beginnings. Membership currently stands at 52 with our members coming from as far afield as Piet Retief, Dundee, Pongola, Nelspruit and Mtunzini. Collectively our members own over 200 cars, the oldest being a 1911 Model T Ford. Incidentally there are currently 13 Model T Fords in the club. The standard of restoration of the vintage cars in general is very high and members take great pride in their gleaming oldies.
Attendance at meetings, which are held on the first Thursday of every month, is high and averages out at about 70%. There is a great spirit in the club and good participation in all activities. The club has one social evening and one Sunday run once a month, as well as an annual run to Pietermaritzburg Cars in the Park where there is always a fantastic turnout. National tours all over the country have been organised, and these have been most enjoyed by all who participated.
