Organised by Sharrin Gill, 26 members in 15 cars and 1 motor cycle, assembled at the riverside park in Coraki on a beautiful summer’s morning. Sharrin arranged for the cars to travel in convoy and, on arrival at the Centre, we were met by the residents who were keen to look & part with stories of their memories of vehicles of that era. For some members it was a chance to meet again with Tom Shepherd & discuss their involvement with him from years gone by. Three vehicles present on the day, John Gill’s 1927 Essex, Gordon Lowrey’s 1925 Studebaker & Chris Loadsman’s 1929 Chev were all trimmed by Tom Shepherd some 20 years ago. It was a pleasure to watch Tom inspecting the cars & giving a little advice on how to continue to maintain his “works of art”. Residents & club members were invited into the facility for morning tea which gave us a chance to thank Sharrin and the staff for making the morning such a pleasure. Special thanks also to Tom’s son Col & daughter-in-law Karen. Those who participated – Chris & Narelle Loadsman, Sharrin Gill, Terry & Julie Prodger & their daughter & 2 grandsons, Ron Hawkins, Ron & Nancy Hambly, John Hunt, Max & Ann Murray, Russell & Jan Earnshaw, Jim & Robyn Hayward & 2 grandsons, Ben Clift, David & Rhonda Clift, Gordon & Colleen Lowrey, John Gill, Noel Gill, Robert & Meryl Lovell, Norm & Kathleen Clapham.
