HCVCA 50th Anniversary Show and Dine - 23rd & 24th July, Bendigo Victoria.

by Gryphon
Hi,
next weekend the HCVCA is having a weekend get together with Truck Display at the Bendigo Showgrounds to further celebrate the 50th year of the HCVCA.
There is a Dinner organised for Saturday night across the road at the RSL, bookings essential by contacting Russell on 0409 073 523 or President@hcvca.com.au, with numbers when I last heard at 120 with a seating limit of 150 and numbers need to be confirmed early in the week.
There is on site camping with/within your vehicles on the Friday and Saturday night at the Showgrounds, again you need to let Russell know if you plan to stay/camp with your vehicle.
For Saturday there is free public access to stroll in and browse around the vehicles. If you are a non member and want to park your Historic Commercial Vehicle on the grounds best to contact Russell and check if it is okay, I am not sure on that one.
Some more background, www.hcvc.com.au/club-events/288-hcvca-50...urday-23rd-july-2022

To be sure you are getting the right information then Yes, give him a call to get the latest.
I spoke to him on Tuesday and said I would put something up here about the event as it really hasn't been publicised much outside the club magazine, and with the free display on Saturday I thought it would be of interest to non-members who might want to look around. He didn't say anything about the non members visiting with their vehicles so best to check or maybe someone else who knows more might offer up the details on what has been said. There has been a change of committee and that comes with new organisers of the event so there is a bit of catch up happening and I have been told tonight there might be more news or changes on Monday.
It would be a shame to have interesting vehicles in car park and not on the grounds, but there might be issues with Insurance and volunteers to marshall vehicles in and out.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,
Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

My Wife is worried that there is no time or start place given for the bus trip(s) or for the dinner.
Be there or be square. We plan to be there in the yellow Morris 1800 Ute as the three tonner is not ready and the Ute will not tow the 1927 D Type Six Wheeler.

Hi,
more details to hand about the event with the big news being that the Saturday night dinner has been cancelled due to Covid concerns, however the rest of the planned display on Saturday and camping are still going ahead. I believe the bus trips may have been cancelled also.
To answer MrsMackPaul's question from a few days ago, non members are welcome to display their historic commercial vehicles in the Main arena with members vehicles.
Details on the event including where to enter and camp and some maps can be found here, www.hcvc.com.au/club-events/293-bendigo-...truck-show-july-23rd

What's the point in going then?
If I did not have Motel accommodation booked and paid for, I would stay home. Plenty of work to do here.

Hi,
for some eye candy from the Bendigo Show grounds gathering yesterday, www.hcvc.com.au/gallery/events/hcvca-bendigo-2022
It drizzled rain until early afternoon and numbers were not what was expected but it was good as it meant plenty of time to catch up with people and you could have a good look around the trucks that were there.

Hi,
there was a lot more there than the few I took pictures of and I am expecting Drone footage and stills in the next few days from a new member Phil that I expect to get online once they come in.
You might not of got the cold, but probably wet feet.
I don't know if there is any footage, a lot of people were watching it though, of Murray L. trying to get his old GMC semi off the grass on Sunday morning. With hard rubber and no tread the rear right wheel was just spinning around on the wet and sloppy ground, however it must have been moving because it eventually found traction and it got on to hard ground for loading.

Thanks for posting Terry, this was my best chance to show the mighty ACCO to the adoring public, but sadly I am stuck in Quinzlund enjoying sunshine.
I hope the club sees the event as a success.
