British and European Car Day - 10th Feb 2019, 10AM-3PM Trentham
Trentham Memorial Park , 10AM-3PM
$10 vehicle entry fee - public viewing is free
This was a brilliant event last year with ~400 vehicles on display.
Hosted by the British Car Club.
"Last year saw a good turnout of European cars despite the very average weather.
We expect this number to get even bigger as the years go on.
This year we are working with Ray Hartley to put on a very special display of race cars remembering the days of the Wellington Street races of the 80’s and 90’s as well as music, trade stands and commercial car displays all for your enjoyment.
The Citroën car club is putting on a very special display of Citroën, It is 100 years of Citroën cars.
Funds raised go to the Wellington Free Ambulance who service most of Wellington, the Kapiti Coast and Masterton.
This year we were very happy to donate $4,000.00 to this worthy cause in the hope we never need to use the service."
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
