Filling fast!  The area set aside for Alfas is a prime location.
Must have firm commitment and email details of those attending. 
I then send you documentation detailing entry, display and exit arrangements.

Going to be a great day.  A warm up for Spettacolo!!

A big thank you to all that came along and made their cars available for display.
All car beautifully presented as always.
Weather perfect in the afternoon and lots of positive feedback from the general public. 

With Spettacolo just a couple of weeks away, the level of involvement and interest from the public is very encouraging.

See you all and your 300+ cars at Wesley College, Glen Waverley in a couple of weeks .

Please remember $10 cash only entry per car for a fantastic day.

Hi Colin,
Is there a reason why the committee has decided to charge members $10 to display their car at Spettacolo this year?
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,

The club and its members cannot continue to absorb 100% of the financial cost of putting on this fantastic event.
Increasing fees associated with venue hire, permits, insurances, marquee hire and erection, tables, chairs, portable generators etc are absorbed by the club to a large extent. 

About 20% of the cost of putting on Spettacolo will be met by the $10 cash entry fee.  Another 30% will financed by our very valuable club and Show n Shine trophy sponsors.  The remaining 50% will be met by the club. 

Show n Shine entry this year will be free!

Colin
