Welcome to the Club Lotus Australia 50th Anniversary celebrations!

Believe it or not, it really is 50 years since that august group of Lotus fanatics started gathering in various car parks and homes in and around Sydney. Like so many acorn-sized beginnings, CLA has grown, morphed and changed over the years, but one thing has stayed constant - the focus on having fun with our Lotus cars.

So, we thought it’d be lovely to mark the occasion with a gathering of the clans. We’ve plumped for the Fairmont Resort (and Spa!) in the Blue Mountains. Dates for your diary are Friday 23rd June - Sunday 25th June, with the gala dinner held on the evening of Saturday the 24th.

There are two halves to your booking for the event - the gala dinner, available here, and accommodation for the weekend. This booking provides reservation for the gala dinner, commemorative merchandise and event booklet.

While the Fairmont Resort will serve as our home base for the weekend's events, if you would like to stay elsewhere, you are of course most welcome!

If you have any questions in the meantime regarding the event or booking process, please contact us on committee@clublotus.com.au

We very much look forward to your joining us for what will be a superb celebration of all that is good about Lotus cars and the people who own them!

Weekend Program

Registration will be held at Fairmont Resort on Friday afternoon, after which we will retire to the bar to catch up and settle into proceedings with some casual welcome drinks. There are no firm plans for dinner, but we will provide some ideas in the local area.

Saturday morning will open with a concours d’elegance, with judging planned for around 10am. This should leave time for some adventuring during the day, with half day drives planned alongside exploring the local area or enjoying activities at the resort. Again, we will provide a road book with lots of ideas for things to do in the local area.

Early on Saturday evening we’ll meet up at the Fairmont Resort Ballroom to relax over drinks before commencing the formal gala dinner, where we look forward to hearing guest of honour William Taylor speak as part of a wonderful celebratory dinner.

On Sunday morning we’ll wind down with a casual breakfast, with the day open to what ever exploring or adventuring takes your fancy.
