About the Fordson Tractor Club of Australia Inc.
The Club was formed in 2004 by a group of Fordson enthusiasts.
Purpose

Aims and Objectives
-
Hold regular meetings and arrange activities 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 otherthings), 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 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.
