All French Car Day - 18 July at Silverwater Park
Journée des voitures françaises — roughly translated to All French Car Day — is on again. Time to wash and polish your car, get out the vacuum cleaner, wash behind the hubcaps, clean the engine bay, change the oil and cover up the rust - then turn up at Silverwater Park for the event.
This is the biggest day of the club year. It is when we show off our cars and link up with the Citroën, Renault and other car clubs, and practice saying things to each other in a funny accent, and generally trying to murder the French language as a group.
Those who have attended in the past will know the routine. Arrive by 10 am, pay a $10 entry fee, park your car on the field and enjoy the day wandering around looking at all the French cars on display. Volunteers are always welcome to help organise and coordinate parking, judging and any other items that need attending to on the day.
The day is planned as a family event, with food and drinks available for sale from the friendly people of the Concord Rotary Club, or bring your own for a picnic by the Parramatta River. There will, of course, be a coffee van for those that don't like early mornings.
Trade displays will be set up, and anyone wishing to display or sell motoring products will be able to do so. Please direct your enquiries to Ross Berghofer
