This year’s Central Hawke’s Bay Vintage Car Club Daffodil Day for Cancer broke all the records, bringing in $8,800 to be used by the CHB Cancer Society for the local community. It was also a success on a National Level. All NZ’s vintage car clubs hold their Daffodil Day rally at the same time and this year CHB Branch one of the smallest clubs raised one of the top amounts, attracting “congratulations” from the National Organisation. This year’s Daffodil Day was held at Oruawharo Homestead, hosted by Will Lauder and Bianca du Toit. The space available at the historic venue allowed for a Show and Shine of the vintage cars, Devonshire teas, Spin the Wheel, auctions and raffles. Car enthusiasts came from Dannevirke, Napier and Hastings despite challenging weather conditions and the venue was so popular, organisers haven’t ruled out a revisit next year. Organiser Kaye Carswell says: “We would like to thank all that attended and supported this great cause. And to all our sponsors, thanks you again. It was an incredibly successful day and we were very proud to present a $8,800 cheque to the CHB Cancer Society.
