The Historic Commercial Vehicle Club are interested in placing old vehicles in the street parade & on display later.as we done for a number of years .
Hi Ken, thank you for getting in touch. The street parade plans are quite different this year due to the Level Crossing Removal and their road closures. However, we made a decision just last week to arrange a convoy of classic and other historical vehicles which converge into a display, so you have excellent timing! (and you’re hearing this news first) So we’d love to chat. I’ll arrange for someone to get in touch with you. You can also call me directly on 0415 569 238.
Regards, Yolande
