OK guys, who's coming to the big Charity Show and Shine in Camden next Saturday, 28th February? As you probably know, the event is being put on to raise some money for our mate Rob Wager and his family after the horrendous fire which destroyed his workshop and livlihood. Let's get as many of us punters and our bikes over to Camden Bike and Power to support a brother who has fallen on tough times through no fault of his own.
We've already had some positive feedback from the Sydney VMX community with support coming from many of this forums regulars, along with VMX Magazine, KTM Australia, VMX Plastics as well as the good ol' boys at Klub Levlar. Jeff Leisk has also got on board by signing a Honda CR500 front number plate to be auctioned. The plan at this stage is to have any special auction items on display at the Show and Shine, and then put them on ebay so as to give anyone who can't make it next week a chance to participate as well, but also an on-site auction for some more items like KTM umbrellas, shirts, caps etc.
As for confirmed entries, we have Darren Hill with his 2 beautiful YZ Yamahas, Husky67 with a couple of the most beautiful Huskies on the face of the planet, Firko is bringing the Ducati, Maico and DT1, and I'll be bringing my ME360 Mugen and '83 CR250 to display.
The Show and Shine will feature classes as per normal race meeting eg: Best Evo, Pre '85, Pre '65 etc with prizes for each class. We'd be stoked if we could get as many of the community to support this event both by participating and in donating items to Auction by world renowned auctioneer el Firko himself.
As well as raising some much needed funds to assist Rob in rebuilding his life, it'll be a great chance for the VMX Community to get together for a good old fashioned pre season bench race and give us a chance to lair off our garage queens without the pressure of a race environment. To make this work, we'll need your support. We'd like some sort of idea on who's coming so put up a post or PM me so we can work out what we'll need next Saturday. 2 things that come to mind would be a PA and a large table, can any of you guys help out there?
I'll be sponsoring the best Pre '85 class by supplying a trophy so if anyone else want to donate a trophy and sponsor a class feel free to contact me.
Cheers boys, see you next Saturday.
