When viewing maps on the website, you can download the page(s) from the magazine, in PDF format, of the article that originally described the run. This is handy for participation in observation runs that require maps, turn points and photographs. The article can either be saved, or viewed in a Word Processor to then be printed. This saves carrying a complete magazine to events. Try it out on the runs detailed on the 'Runs' page: Observation Runs.

Welcome to the Citroën Car Club of NSW, Inc. The Citroën Car Club of NSW was formed during August 1964 as a way for Citroën enthusiasts to help each other to maintain their vehicles and to form social links with people with similar interests across Australia. The Club has thrived since then. Our members come from all parts of NSW, interstate as well as overseas. The Club's functions are:

The magazine is produced 11 times a year, each month from February to December. It is an information source for club members intended to provide club announcements and news, describe and report on club activities and operations plus contain articles that would be of interest to members. The contents are more specific than the web site and are a prime reason for enjoying club membership. A typical magazine is 40 pages, containing club information, branch reports, upcoming outings and functions plus reviews of previous outings and functions. There will be several pages devoted to Citroën history, news and reviews plus a layout for a future planned trip or a technical article on repairing, upgrading or modifying your car. The remainder of the magazine has a compact Events notification for the next few months, information about the club, private cars for sale (refer the 'SELL' link on the Members Pages), classified advertising and details of the club shop. Two versions of the magazine are produced, one of which is available to members, to be selected at membership time or can be changed by contact with the Club Treasurer. The print version is expensive to print and distribute, putting a substantial drain on club resources. We prefer members choose the email version. Both versions for the following month are sent out to arrive before the monthly club meetings: The print version has a colour outer cover with black and white interior pages. This is produced at a standard 600dpi resolution to maintain print quality and is posted. The email version is fully colour and produced at a lower 96dpi resolution, giving a PDF document of approx 8MB to allow convenient distribution through the email system.

The Diary page is merely a reminder for all the functions attended by the Citroën Car Club of NSW. Full details are to be found in the club magazine 'The Chevrons' and also the emailed updates from the club. The Citroën Car Club has enjoyable drives to interesting destinations. Throughout the year there are several planned vehicular expeditions organised by the club for the benefit of members. The usual setup is to meet at a convenient well known starting point with adequate parking at a reasonable mid morning time to allow time for arrival of distant starters. A fast food restaurant with a nearby petrol station is the usual to allow consumption of coffee and a chance to refuel their vehicles. The usual participating group is a couple, with a driver and navigator. Children are welcome as the trip is usually less than 100km, taking about an hour and traversing interesting countryside. Members are provided with an instruction sheet describing the turn points and distances. An observation run has an extra set of questions relating to what can be spotted on the trip. The questionnaire is not compulsory to enjoy the experience, although it will amuse the children. Each Drive will be presented in the magazine 'The Chevrons' and announced by email.

Cit-in is an Australia wide Easter get-together of Citroën Car Club enthusiasts. Each year there is a meeting of people from all the Citroën car clubs across Australia. This is to enable far flung members to meet and greet socially and for all the club committees to co-ordinate their activities during the following year. The events are hosted sequentially by each state and are located in accessible locations with interesting activities and available, affordable accommodation. The Cit-In organisers will supply detailed information on the Cit-in. This will include location, available accommodation, activities and local tourism features. Accommodation must be pre-arranged by the individual from information supplied.

Initial contact with the club usually occurs when a member of the public attends a vehicle exhibition to discover a Citroën vehicle on display. Questions asked of the club members in attendance will elicit further information. This website includes the information requirements of both prospective and current members. After examining this web site, it would be recommended that a prospective member turn up at a general meeting to introduce themselves to the committee, and meet and greet the current members. Meetings are held at 7:30pm in the Veteran Car Club Hall, 134 Queens Road, Five Dock on the last Monday of the month except December. Ownership of a Citroën car is not compulsory for club membership, however, familiarity with the marque may be conducive to acquisition. The club would like to see you as a regular participant in club activities and meetings. You will be amongst a group of friends with similar interests in maintaining and driving their vehicles.
