Stars of Sandstone 2017
This year’s Stars of Sandstone event saw a much better turn-out of Model ‘A’s than in the past, and it was wonderful to see as many as five Model ‘A’s together at various scenes around the event.
One of the most encouraging things to see was Model ‘A’ owners daring to take their prized possession on the dirt roads and enjoying themselves.
Wilf Mole, the Sandstone owner, provided his own Model ‘A’ – a Canadian Model ‘A’ Coupe recently imported to South Africa. Although this car was poorly treated by the person who claimed it each day, it nevertheless was able to be seen driving around and joining in with the others.
On a sad note, Ockie Lategan and his brother Stoffel were meant to join us on the Saturday, but Ockie sadly passed away that morning. They were due to bring two Model ‘A’s, one of which has just had a full restoration completed. Rest in peace, Ockie, you will be sadly missed.
The 2017 event saw a far bigger number of vintage aeroplanes in attendance, and between the Model ‘A’s, the trains, and the planes, many photo opportunities were set up for the hundreds of photographers around.
A very successful event for the Model ‘A’s and well enjoyed by all.
Hoping to see even more Model ‘A’s at the next event.
Stars of Sandstone 2017 Photo Competition Results
There were many more Model ‘A’ Club members at Stars of Sandstone in 2017 than previously, and some even brought their cars along to join in the fun.
The Model ‘A’ Club of South Africa decided to sponsor a photo competition for any of the members who wanted to participate. The rules were very simple:
- Entries must include a Model ‘A’ (or part of one);
- Theme was “Colours”
In all, six people submitted their photos for judging. Judges were chosen from a wide range of people, including one or two professional photographers. The rest were unrelated to the club or any club members, other than that they are work colleagues. The phot entries were numbered with no indication of who the photographer was.
The results were as follows:
First place, with four votes: Lynette
Second place was shared by two photographers, Kelsey and Mouton:
Third place was Lindy:
Well done to all the participants. See more stunning pictures elsewhere on the website.
