Take step back in time

Truck memorabilia stalls will be available, with interesting merchandise.

THE Historic Commercial Vehicle Club (HCVC) is holding its 34th Annual Historic Commercial Vehicle Show on Sunday, 8 November, at the Yarra Glen Racecourse.
This year will be the second for the show at Yarra Glen.
With this being such a great venue, and after such a successful show last year, the club has decided to hold shows at Yarra Glen for the next 10 years.
On exhibit will be an extensive display of 260-plus trucks, buses, tractors, stationary engines and remote-control trucks – an impressive show for all enthusiasts.
There is a jumping castle for the kids to enjoy, and an array of food and drinks for sale.
Truck memorabilia stalls will be available, with interesting merchandise that can be purchased for anyone with a trucking interest.
Raffle tickets will be sold on the day, with a chance to win a toolbox unit with cabinet valued at $1200 as the major prize.
The HCVC of Australia is the largest club for old trucks, fire engines and buses.
The club continues to grow, with its main base in Boronia and branches at Ovens Murray Goulburn, Ballarat and South Australia.
The club holds monthly meetings that all members and new people are welcomed, and encouraged, to attend.
