2022-09 Annual Concourse Show n Shine Presentations
This was an excellent event with about 100 vehicles displayed and about 150 participants. Due to COVID this has been our first concourse show 'n shine since 2019. The variety of vehicles in our club is amazing, as is the quality of the vehicles. Members received a free barbeque breakfast and lunch. We had a coffee van in attendance, a raffle earning $420 for our charities (Little Wings and Riding for the Disabled), and Mick's stall selling club and other memorabilia. Due to the rain and wet grounds, we had difficulty sourcing a venue. Tocal College was very accommodating and flexible in their offer of a carpark which was an excellent venue. We hope to return in 2023. This album features the presentations.
