Camp Quality Convoy returns

The Camp Quality Convoy Victoria will hit the road again on April 7 after a year off, with dozens of trucks and motorbikes expected to join the fun at Avalon Airport.

The 2019 Convoy will proceed slightly differently from earlier events, including the introduction of a Show and Shine following previous feedback.

Registration fees for trucks and motorbikes in the Convoy are also substantially reduced this year, making the convoy accessible for participants, with all Convoy entrants encouraged to use the event to drive fundraising from their own networks.

The Convoy will start from Avalon Airport at 8am on April 7, arriving back at the airport around noon where the Show and Shine and a range of family-friendlyevents will take place, including face painting for children.

Australia’s leading provider of aftermarket truck and trailer parts, Truckline, has announced it will continue its support of the event and is also entering a special guest in the Convoy.

The new International Pro-star demonstration truck will take a break from its tour around Victoria to feature in the day’s activities and is expected to draw a lot of interest from truck enthusiasts.

For Truckline’s Territory Business Manager for Victoria and Tasmania, Casey Stewart, the event holds special meaning for her and her family, after sadly losing her niece to childhood cancer at just five years of age.

“I’m proud that Truckline is continuing their support of and involvement in this event and to see it back again after a hugely successful 2017 Convoy,” she said.

It was a terrible tragedy for my family when we lost my niece, so I’m keen to do anything I can to support other families living with cancer.

“Camp Quality is an incredible organisation that does so much for children growing up with cancer and their families. The programs and services offered to these children and their parents and siblings have a lasting impact and are such a great help through such a difficult time.”

General entry is by gold coin donation, which includes the family activities on-site, and a raffle will be conducted to support the fundraising initiative.

The day will conclude at 3pm. To register for the Convoy, head to convoy.org.au.
