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."
And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
