The idea of the night was Nostalgia - 'Back to the
Drive-In'
Remember going to the Drive In back in the 50’s & 60’s when
the whole
family piled into the family wagon and went along, kids in pyjamas playing on
the
swings and slides, hanging the speaker on the car’s window, carrying
dinner from the restaurant’s ‘healthy’ menu back to your car,
when ‘movies’ were ‘pictures’ and the night’s program started with cartoons?
Well that’s what we set out to relive and hopefully we got
as close as you can.
Ah, the cars. What a sight. 300 plus beautiful pre 1976 machines. From Rods to
Family wagons.
All you needed to purchase a ticket was a car with Chrome
bumpers.
The monster charity auction. There were some great deals to be
had and when the Shannons auction team had completed the sale, $9000
had been raised for local charities.
Our thanks to all the businesses and people that provided
the
products or services to be auctioned.
The $9000 raised as a result will enable some very dedicated
people in Mirrabel, Community One and the Menzies Foundation
to continue their valuable work in our community.
The winners of the annual LGC Cruisers Grand Prizes were
1st Barry Campbell Cruiser No 304 of Hastings.
Barry was present and selected the $1000 voucher from Radiator
Workshop in Mornington for Air Conditioning components.
Barry is travelling to Alice Springs in his tray truck and thinks A/C might be
very useful!
