From The Editor
Hello and welcome to the May 2017 edition of Holden Torque. The official publication of
the 48 to 78 Holden Car Club Hunter Valley Inc. The cover picture this month is Graham
Prices Van at Crazy About Chrome last month. What a great day. It is a shame about the
weather but that is the only thing we could not control. Everything else on the day ran like
clockwork, an absolute credit to the organisers, the volunteers and the entire club. Lots of
pictures of the day and more in Garys Events Report. Dont forget if you want to sell
anything just send me some pictures. If

Events report May 2017

Sunday 2nd April, Acrobat crazy about chrome 2017.
Despite some ordinary weather we had a good turnout of about 130 vehicles of all shapes
and sizes, including some gorgeous bikes, the FJ coupe and the rocket powered go carts
(which really drew the crowd when he fired it up).
We sold over 700 gate tickets and the raffle also sold well.
The live music was great, thanks to Fernando from Acrobat who coordinated things, the
musicians who donated their time and talent, the PA man who did a great job despite some
pretty windy conditions and Jason Kemp who provide the stage and Kennards for the
generator (and much more).
We are yet to finalise the financial side of things as we are still chasing up outstanding
invoices.
Thanks to everyone who helped out on, before and after the show.
The On-Line auction is due to go live on 1st June, this gives us all of May to chase up more
sponsors and promote the auction to get maximum return for our charities. Dave Caban
and myself are working with Norm from Acrobat removals and SOS Technology (web page
people) on this.
