We have been already invited back to Historic Winton. The organizers of Historic Winton, the Austin 7 club was extremely happy with our last turn out in 2018 and hope we can make it an annual event for vintage caravans, with an even bigger turn out for 2019.

4th Caravans at Historic Winton (2019). The organizers the Austin 7 club, is inviting any vintage or classic vans along for the fourth time. * Free entry to vintage/classic caravaner´s who will bring their caravans to Historic Winton for display. * Camping available at the raceway campground for a fee * Historic vehicle displays and race day for cars and motorbikes * Fri 24 - Sun 26 May 2019* Fri 17 - Sun 19 May 2019This year they are running the 43rd annual Historic Winton. Every year for the past few years it has been growing, with more and bigger displays, more varied exhibits and more tenacious racing. Last year was the first time that the vintage/classic caravans were asked to join this great race day. This year they would really like to feature a vintage and retro caravan display again, as interest in this nostalgic style of holidaying is growing. As part of the 43rd celebration they would like all vintage and classic vans on Saturday and Sunday to be displayed to showcasing the retro caravaning and camping scene. This is a fantastic opportunity to show our vans off to thousands of interested vintage motor enthusiasts. Winton Raceway has a dedicated campsite next to the track, where we can stay overnight, the vans will however need to be moved a short distance from the camping area to the display area around 9am, for the Saturday and Sunday display. The camping fee at the race track last year was $25 per person and $10 per child per night – all sites un-powerd. As a show of gratitude for our support the Historic Winton Committee will provide free entry tickets before the event for the whole Historic Winton weekend to anyone who will bring their vintage or classic caravans along to the Historic Winton for display. The normal general admission fees for this weekend are Sat $30, Sun $35, Weekend $60 and Children under 16 N.C. It will be alright to arrive Friday and leave Monday morning. There will be around 500 cars and bikes expected to be racing on the weekend and there is going to be even more interesting exhibitors. Also, this year, they are anticipating the participation of several clubs that will create their own displays. The Historic Winton Committee are all looking forward to having a lot of fun again this year, enjoying the spectacle of historic and vintage racing and the atmosphere of the years gone by. I will need to give them a list of numbers (Adults, Children, Vans) - by 1st April 2019, please PM me the number of tickets required with your address (King Fisher). Then tickets for the entry will be mailed out to you closer to the event.

Quick question: camping. In the information above it states "Winton Raceway has a dedicated campsite next to the track, where we can stay overnight, the vans will however need to be moved a short distance from the camping area to the display area around 9am, for the Saturday and Sunday display. The camping fee at the race track last year was $25 per person and $10 per child per night - all sites are unpowered ".
Do we have to book a camp site ?

Hi tooleyau, the campsite is just a large fenced off paddock, no sites as such. Plenty of room, so just look for where the vv's are and join us. When you enter the main gate, turn left around the race track and keep going past the Skid pan area, keep going and you will see caravans, motorhomes, tents and whatever. No booking required. Cheers Ralph.

Tooleyau, you can arrive on Friday if you wish. But check with Kam ( Kingfisher) on that. We move our Vans onto the bitumen area each day, so stay hooked up.

Hi
I plan to drive down on the Friday. If we can't camp at the race track on the Friday evening, there's a caravan park at Glenrowan, not far from Winton, where I'll camp for the night.

See you all there, I will be there in Hilda A Clipper again this year.
I hope to catch up but will be out on the track each day doing recovery so cannot put the van on display.

In respect to camping at Winton I have two questions for those who have been to Winton before. Can we turn up on Friday? Can we light fires (in a fire box) in the campground?
