Local car club, the Marsh Rodders, are revving up for their 35th celebration. Come Sunday, 15 October, Maddingley Park will be the hub of their annual Show ‘N’ Shine and Swap Meet.<\/p>\n
\u201cCelebrate our 35 years of hot rodding in the Marsh,\u201d says Club president, Peter, proudly by his 1933 white Ford coupe, adding his sentiments, \u201cI\u2019ve always loved these things.\u201d <\/p>\n
With the public entry set for 7am (and an early 6:30am slot for swap meet holders), the event is structured to cater to various interests.<\/p>\n
\u201cA great family event, with always a heap of interesting cars on display, a variety of fantastic food trucks, and trade stands on hand. And our famous swap meet that’s bound to have what you\u2019re after,\u201d said Peter.<\/p>\n
Attendees have a lot to anticipate. From those keen on the swap meet to find that elusive hot rod part, car enthusiasts, to those less acquainted with the hot rod world but eager to be part of the vibrant event, Peter assures there’s something for everyone. And what\u2019s more, there will be a variety of food stalls for lunch as well as trade stands to browse.<\/p>\n
Importantly, the day serves a bigger purpose. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is our main fundraiser,\u201d said Peter. While a significant portion aids the club’s activities, the Marsh Rodders have a tradition of donating a part to a local charity or cause after each event.<\/p>\n
Peter also took a moment to appreciate their sponsors. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had lots of sponsors come on board this year, some donating and others providing a service. We\u2019ve even had more supporters come onboard since the flyer is printed, so we are giving them shoutouts on Facebook.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Marsh Rodders extend an open invite for everyone to come and enjoy a family-friendly event.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet your cruising buddies or your family together and get down to the Marsh and enjoy a day out with us. Join us as we celebrate our 35th anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n
Public entry for adults is $5, but accompanying children under 16 get in free. For those interested in setting up trade stands, a 6:30am slot is available, and Peter encourages potential stalls to contact him directly at 0408 089 644.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
