The Senlac Classic Car Show Cheque Presentation

Proceeds from the 2016 Classic Car Show and Craft Fayre, the 24^th, were distributed to four local charities at a dinner on 24^th August 2016. Some 60 Rotarians and guests attended the presentation dinner held at the Cooden Beach Hotel.

Dave said how much he appreciated all the help and highlighted the contributions made by Pat Connor and Marcia amongst others; he was delighted with the press coverage and thanked Lynda Turner of the Observers. He was so pleased that the show had broken the records for profits and attendance and we would able to help local charities.
