The Hastings Old Holdens Car Club Inc hosted the 10th annual Classic Cruise and Show 'N' Shine on Saturday March 25 2017.
This was the fifth year of supporting the Port Macquarie SES and the first for fundraising for the Hastings Support Group - Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
We would like to thank our event sponsors, motoring enthusiasts and the public who came out to support us; it is also great to see so many old Holdens being driven - not hidden.
- Mick Brownlow, Hastings Old Holdens Car Club of NSW
Club president Wayne Webber was thrilled with the result.
“It is with great pride that the club can announce that the event raised a total of $4524.82,” he said.
This amount was divided between the two charities.
Event co-ordinator Mick Brownlow said the final figure was especially significant, considering the adverse weather leading up to the event and the short notice change of venue from Westport Park to the Port Macquarie Racecourse.
“We would like to thank our event sponsors, motoring enthusiasts and the public who came out to support us; it is also great to see so many old Holdens being driven - not hidden,” he said.
They have already commenced planning for next year.
“We expect will continue to grow and improve our great event,” added Mr Brownlow.
