Local car scene hotting up
THE local car scene is really hotting up.
Last Sunday, November 24, saw a packed tarmac at Narromine Aero Club for its Cars and Coffee event.
This was an event with a difference as there were some aircraft on display as well.
This is a great way to attract some out-of-town visitors who are keen to shine up their mechanical pride and joys and set off on a road trip.
And just a few weeks after the Two Wheels to Wellington event, which saw hundreds of motorbikes converge on the town, Wello is about to stage Beers and Blowers.
Set down for this coming Saturday, November 30, there’ll be live music, a spit-roast and much more from 1.30pm until late.
Organisers say it will be a great day to dust the cars off and cruise down to a great local pub which has huge amounts of parking available.
There will also be a few prizes up for grabs for the nicest cars that show up on the day.
The day is open to all vehicles – all makes and models.
The Wellington Hotel will have a DJ with live music on site, will be offering everyone cheap schooners and plenty of food options available.
The next day – Sunday, December 1 – will see the last Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee for 2019 at Victoria Park, so if you need your fix of a great Sunday morning of talking cars and generally socialising, be sure not to miss this one.
Organiser Owen De Carle is also keen to remind supporters about the blind auction for a personalised cartoon drawing of the highest bidder’s car or bike, thanks to the generosity of talented local artist Ross Barwick.
“The auction will run until 12pm on Sunday, December 1, and if you would like an awesome A3-size personalised artwork featuring your car or bike, please Private Message me (via facebook) your highest bid,” Mr De Carle said.
“For anyone wanting to bid and possibly give the drawing as a Christmas present it should be ready in time for that.
“All money raised will go to our total to be donated to the local branch of the Make A Wish Foundation,” he said.
