About the Fordson Tractor Club of Australia Inc.

The Club was formed in 2004 by a group of Fordson enthusiasts.​

Purpose

The purpose of the Club is to provide an oppertunity for enthusiasts and collectors of Fordson products to gather in the pursuance of common interest, regardless of whether or not

a vehicle or any other product of this classic brand is owned by the member.​

​

Aims and Objectives

• Hold regular meetings and arrange actiyities to provide opportunities for fellowship, knowledge about Fordson tractors and assist in the development of the Club.

• Assist other members in their endeavours to acquire Fordson memorabilia, written and otherwise.

• To raise funds only to the extent to remain solvent.  The Club is not a fund-raising body for the purpose of profit.

• To be non-political and non-sectarian.

• To be highly professional and a worthwhile organisation in the community.

​

Member Profile

Because the Club is for all people who have a common interest in the Fordson tractor, members do not have to own a Fordson Tractor.  Some of our members have a large number

of tractors, or just one tractor, some just collect models, some collect Fordson original brochures, others collect Fordson tools, whilst some members are just reliving some past (e.g. when a Fordson worked on a family or other farm).  Members reside throughout Australia and overseas.

​

Organisation Management

The Club is incorporated in Victoria, Australia in accordance with a constitution.

A Board of Management is responsible for all formal administrative matters.  Club members elect this Board each year from their membership.

WHAT WE DO​

​

​Club activities include:

​

Events

​

Club events are held twice yearly.  Nor surprisingly these are to admire a collection of tractors, particularly Fordsons.

​

Typically,  these events are from1 day to 4 days including travel and a Fordson dinner.  The Club's Annual General Meeting is to be held in the mid-year event.

​

These events are modest in cost and have proven a great place for members to admire machines and memorabilia, talk all things Fordson (and other things!), learn from

 

others

 

experience and enjoy some great fellowship amongst like minded historical enthusiasts. There are many events arranged by other organizations to which members often

 

attend.

 

                                                                                                                                      

Newsletter - Power on The Land

Power on the Land is the Club's Newsletter for members; produced 3 times a year.  This title is steeped in History going back to 1949 when it was the name of the Ford Motor

Company's Newsletter for the farming communities.  The Ford Motor Company has kindly given us permission to use that name as well as the Wheatsheaf logo and the word

Fordson.
