Our hosts did extremely well for their 1st C&C event of ours and, despite doing a great job, have found some efficiencies they're going to work on too. Dust off whatever is sitting in the shed and get amongst it !
Please feel free to share this around your social media and car related networks. See you soon !
A great location with tonnes of parking on asphalt, 2 coffee machines running, the all important BACON and egg rolls (plus plenty of other good food options).
There's also a park across the road, if the rug-rats need to burn off their triple shot espresso levels of energy.
Our Cars & Coffee crowd will have our own dedicated ordering area too, further details will be shared just prior to the day.
Roll up and check out the array of classic and vintage cars on display.. Hot Rods, classics, vintage, veteran , sports cars and more! 8am - 11am every last Sunday of the month Everyone is welcome, whether you bring your own classic car or just want to chat to fellow enthusiasts!
