The Rotary Club of Wandin’s first Custom Car and Bike show for the season was a hit on Wednesday 15 November.

The entourage of show cars from 1985 and earlier and a varied selection of motorbikes at the Wandin East Recreation Reserve from 5pm to 8pm, with entrants arriving in style from 4pm ready for the show’s start.

The annual series of car shows helps the club raise money for their yearly donation to The Royal Children’s Hospital and for their local community projects.

Over the last seven years, the Rotary Club of Wandin has given the Royal Children’s Hospital over $100,000, with support from the Wandin CFA, Wandin Cricket Club, Upper Yarra Rotary, car show entrants and attendees.

Entry for show cars and motorbikes was $10 while for spectators the entry fee was $2 to walk-in.

There are three more shows in the coming months; Wednesday 20 December, Wednesday 21 February and Wednesday 20 March for car enthusiasts to add to their calendars.
