Finally, the cars are back – with coffee
THE Covid-enforced break thanks to social distancing regulations has been difficult for local lovers of Classic Cars and Coffee but now, finally, 14 months after the last event, it’s back.
This Sunday, May 2, is set to be huge, with many local owners dusting off their street machines, hot rods and classic rides to take part at Victoria Park.
Organiser Owen De Carle said as well as regulars all wanting to enjoy a catch up, there’ll be plenty of out-ot-town visitors.
“There is also going to be about a hundred or so pre-1931 veteran cars in town for a run with a lot of them wanting to come along to Classic Cars and Coffee on the Sunday morning,” he said.
There’ll also be a couple of changes moving forward when it comes to the event. Classic Cars and Coffee will be returning to the first Sunday of every month.
“We have also partnered with the Motorcyclists and Drivers (MAD) Club along with the Dubbo Antique Automobile Club to provide manpower to help out every month,” Mr De Carle said.
“The event has grown to a point that it is too big for Karen and me to handle on our own so it will be great to have some help and to be able to spend a bit more time catching up with everyone.
“We will still be taking donations at the gate for the local branch of the Make A Wish Foundation, and as part of our Covid Safety Plan there will be hand sanitisation stations and QR sign-in points at various locations in the park.
Organisers will also be encouraging visitors to follow all covid safe practices including the appropriate social distancing.
