Memo to all Car Clubs Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains Classic Car Run 2nd May 2021

You are asked to keep this date free as the Rotary Club of Ashburton Plains are once again organising our annual Classic car run. This event is part of the Ashburton Wheels Week festivities, following the swap meet to be held the previous day. This is the 28th running of this hugely popular event and we ask you for your participation. Entry fee will be $20/car with profits going to a local organisation ( Ashburton Fire Museum.) The event will start from the Ashburton Showgrounds at 10.30am and will finish in Tinwald approximately 2 hours later. Registrations will be from 9.am.

You will be given instructions like a car trial, and carry on the designated route to finish. There will be no shingle roads and the instructions will be very straight forward.

There will be prizes for various vehicles that will be chosen by our independent judges, Roger Hart and Bernard Egan, two very well known identities in the Mid Canterbury area who have had many years experience of classic cars.

We have arranged for light lunches to be available at the venue. Tinwald is situated on the south side of the Ashburton River Bridge.

Come and join us for this years Car Rally with the destination being a step back in time with lots to see and do.

We ask all Car Clubs to make their members aware of this fun low key event in your club bulletins or notice board.

For any further information please contact either: Owen Moore – owen@moorepark.net.nz, 033083442 or Alan Sim – sim.family@xtra.co.nz, 033088835
