Thames ANZAC Show
Posted on 24/04/2011 by Liz
Ajay's was proud to support the Thames ANZAC show.
This year show was down on numbers from last year, but there was still a great turn out of cars in support of the local community.
The proceeds from the gate went to the Thames & Whangamata RSA's and also the Local Scouts. The Scout group are a great help on the day, manning the gate, assisting with parking and feeding the crowd with sausages and home baking, Thanks guys.
Despite being down on Cars ther were even more people through the gate which is pleasing to see a support for the cars and the comitment to our ANZACs
The Custom Van Show was a hit. It was amazing to look up close at the detail on and in some of these treasured vehicles. Equipped with everything from Bar fridges to HD HiFi systems and plush decore, including the Teddy Bear that our Natalie thought was cool he had his own seat. We had a great day. Thanks to Noddy for the opportunity.
