Committee Members Ian Baker 0429 044 011 Sunday May 16 was the National Motoring Heritage Day and to celebrate we organised a multi club event to Bombala. This event was planned for last year after the horrific bushfires, Ken Coates 0425 206 778 [email protected] we wanted to acknowledge and raise some money for the Bombala Rural Fire Brigade but Covid put an end to that. Gary Harvey 0421 159 321 Much planning and organising was required to make this day such a success. Rogan Corbett from the Cooma Car Club and Geraldine Dyer from the Rotary Club of Bombala stepped up to Jim Hepburn 0400 763 607 help make it happen. Shannons Insurance regional rep David Ritchie was able to arrange sponsorship for the event. There were also a lot of others who helped on the day: SCHVC, John McNair 0412 199 099 [email protected] Cooma C.C., Bombala Rotary and Bombala Brigade members, thank you all.

With five clubs involved, SCHVC, Cooma CC, Bega CC, South Coast Classic CC and the Merimbula Rodders we had a varied Public Officer Michael Quinlan and very interesting range of vehicles to show off. After lunch, catered for by Bombala Rotary, we had some presentations. First up was the Entrants Prize Draw, a Car Care Products Pack Membership Geoff Dunstan 0433 434 283 [email protected] donated by John McNair.
