This club has been around for years and the other one has been around for a few months. We have our meetings at 8pm on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at Power Ford Castle Hill. To my knowledge we are the only 'modern car' club to be a member of the official Combined Ford Clubs.

Here is a link to our clubs website: www.fpvclub.com.

These are 2 seperate clubs.

The FPV-Tickford Club of NSW has been around since 1999. It was originally called the "XR & Tickford Owners Club of NSW". In 200 the name was changed (at the request of Tickford) to "Tickford Owners Club of NSW".

In 2002 we helped members in the ACT form up a sub-branch of the club to hold meetings and events in their area.
In 2003 we did the same for the Newcastle area.
These sub braches no longer exist as these 2 areas have increased significantly in numbers and are now up and running as their own seperate clubs "FPV & XR club of ACT" and "FPV & XR club of Newcastle"

Also in 2003 the name was changed to include FPV hence "FPV-Tickford Club of NSW"

All FPV, Tickford, XR and T-series models (EB-current) are more than welcome into the club as well as a selection of associate members with modified or "non-standard" falcons. This works on a percentage of total membership.

Our meetings are held at Power Ford at Castle Hill on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 8pm.

As Matt mentioned above, we are the only "modern car club" members of the Combined Ford Club (CFC) which hold the annual All Ford Day at Warwick Farm, which is a club incorporating a selection of ford car clubs ranging from model T to capris, mustangs etc...



The Falcon-Tickford_FPV club of NSW is a new club just that has just recently formed by an ex member of our club.
I do not know too much about it only going from whats on here, but it seems to be running well and attracting many members.
it is a different type of club as they allow all makes of falcons, FPV and tickford vechicles.
