The first Scottish Register was published by the Scottish
Clubman containing approximately 160 names and addresses of rally entrants
and club members and the vehicles they owned. |

Seven rally organisers attended the second conference to
discuss events. It was agreed to produce the Register again. |
|

|
February 1970 |
|
The Scottish Clubman reports: |
|
|
|
"No register will be produced owing to the expense and
a lack of response from clubs." |

Club Conference - Perth. Tom Sked writes: |
|
|
|
"Clashing dates are now commonplace. Has Scotland reached
saturation point? Is the average enthusiast willing to attend every weekend
from the end of May to the end of September? Are we now ready for a national
championship? Is it time that an Association of Scottish Vintage Clubs was
formed? Please let us have your views." |

|
Twelve clubs attended the dates meeting. The possibility
of a federation was discussed but rejected. |

Tom Sked writes: |
|
|
|
"If all and sundry are going to change their
dates at will there seems little point in having a conference at all. All
was not well. Clubs would agree dates in November then change them in the
Spring; and the register was abandoned due to apathy and the postal strike." |
|
|
|
December 1971 |
|
|
|
Only 6 clubs out of 20 attended the conference.
The proposed Association was turned down again by those feared another R.A.C.
or A.C.U. |

Tom Sked argued in the Scottish Clubman against
a proposal to drop the dates conference and warned of utter chaos. No conference
was held. |
|

February 1973 |
|
|
|
Despite the absence of an events conference,
a "provisional" list of 19 events was published and the hope was
again expressed to reintroduce the register. |

At a meeting in Perth the SVVF was founded. |

"While several bodies have given excellent support we
have received little or nothing from others." |

Tom Sked writes: |
|
|
|
"While the SVVF may have fallen short of its objedives
so far, the foundations have been laid. Despite what some people may think
the SVVF is not Tom Sked. It is your organisation - make it work!" |
