by Tamborine Mountain Men’s Shed
Tamborine Mountain’s joint Rotary International Club (Rotary) and Men’s Shed Car Show Committee hosted the 2023 Annual Car Show at the Tamborine Mountain Sports Centre (400 Long Road) on Sunday, 20 August.
The organisers hoped to surpass the results of the 2022 Car Show, which attracted over 200 exhibits and more than 2500 visitors to Tamborine Mountain.The categories included Antique, Vintage, Classic, Custom, Muscle, Electric Cars and Bikes. Exhibitors come from far and wide to attend what is shaping up to be one of the most popular automobile attractions in South-East Queensland. The Men’s Shed/Rotary organisers have increased the total prize money for this year’s display cars to $2,500.00, with awards allocated for the following categories: People’s Choice, Antique/Vintage, Custom/Muscle, Bike, and Electric. The display car and bike entrance fee was $5 per vehicle, which covered the driver’s or rider’s entrance fee.
The excellent response from market stall holders enhanced the Car Show’s market-like atmosphere. Food and coffee vans were ready to cater for the public when gates opened at 8am.Public entry was $10 per adult, with children 16 years and younger free. The car show wrapped up after the formal award presentation ceremony.
As a charity, Rotary will direct funds from this event directly back into the local community. The Men’s Shed’s funds raised will be used to enhance the Shed’s machinery and equipment.
