2014 HCVC DISPLAY DAY

The Thames van was always badged as a Thames ,,Never as a Prefect .5cwt and 7 cwt .The Estate van had side windows .rear seat tailgate rear and 3 bar grille . The prefect car had 4 doors and the Anglia had 2 doors . :-*

Roderick,the Reo bus arrived under its own steam,as I was on the gate when it arrived.Agreed with all,it was a fantastic weekend and should only get better.Considering it was the first attempt at Yarra Glen,it turned out really well. Congratulations to all the organizers.

On behalf of the Historic Commercial Vehicle Club of Australia, I wish to thank everyone involved including the volunteers that provided their quality time undertaking various tasks, club sponsors and the Personnel of Yarra Glen Racecourse for their Priceless efforts in making the HCVCA 33rd Display Day a success.

I also extend my gratitude to everyone that attended with their exhibits, the trade stall holders and to everyone that attended the event.

For those who have not yet completed the survey, please do so and return to the address provided as soon as possible to enable us to improve the quality of future events.

Thank you for the clarification, appreciate that..

Camma asked for people to come up and say 'Hi'. I went to the wrong Commer, but had a pleasant chat with the owning couple. They were enjoying the day very much, and explained the history of the vehicle and its restoration. Today I set out to do fire appliances and military, then realised than I have only two postwar trucks not covered in the other photo sets, so I am adding them too. I got the Bedford S fire truck on a tray, but it has been covered.

Really enjoyed the displays, venue and meeting some of the exhibitors and volunteers. Wonderful day out and looking forward to attending next year with grandsons and hopefully family members. thanks to all who put so much effort into staging this show. Sure that next year will build on this success. Best wishes to all from Paul.

G'day Oz,

The pics are generally as taken , and may need editing to suit some peoples requirements, but all are 18 mpx and as such can be cropped etc. as required.

Here is a couple of samples, showing people enjoying the event.





Does anybody have dates for next years show yet please ?
I have to start planning and saving if I am going to make it
an annual visit.

Cheers

Great to meet you again Roland, you seemed to be having a good time.
Your photo collection is fantastic, will pinch a few of those if I can. Murray

Hi Murray

Thanks for you tour of the site aboard the Mighty GMC.

I am pleased you like the pics. and Yes 'pinch' them all if you like.
Thats why I put them on Flickr, because you can download Full Resolution pics and print or edit as you like, and they don't take up space on HCVC server and slow it down any more

Cheers
