Editor’s Report - December 2025

As we come to the close of another rewarding year, it is a pleasure to reflect on the passion, camaraderie and commitment that continue to make the Rolls-Royce Owners’ Club of Australia (Victoria Branch) a truly special community. On behalf of the committee, I extend sincere appreciation to every member for your support, enthusiasm and continued membership. Our club thrives because of your dedication to preserving the values, history and enjoyment of Rolls-Royce and Bentley motor cars.

This past season has seen some memorable gatherings. The Concours d’Elegance at the magnificent Cruden Farm was a particular highlight— majestic motor cars set against equally majestic grounds created an atmosphere that was nothing short of spectacular. Equally memorable was our Club Awards presentation at the Sandringham Yacht Club, where we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon overlooking the bay. Congratulations to all award recipients and to the winners of the Concours d’Elegance; your commitment to excellence, authenticity and presentation represents the finest traditions of our marque.

As we celebrate the close of 2025, I wish every member and their families a joyful festive season and a very happy New Year. Looking ahead, 2026 promises to be another exceptional year. Our calendar will once again feature a rich selection of social outings, club runs, special events and technical sessions. We are fortunate to be guided by the leadership of our President, Keith Mortimer, alongside the dedicated committee members who work tirelessly to deliver meaningful and engaging experiences for us all.

Thank you once again for your involvement, your passion and the spirit you bring to our club. May the coming year be filled with safe motoring, good company and many more shared memories on the road.

With warm regards,

Wayne Spittle
