To celebrate the production and launch of the EH Holden, the Club holds an Show and Shine event on the weekend closest to the original launch date - 26th August 1963.

The event is held in Silverwater Park and is a great day to check out original, restored and modified EH Holdens.  Other Clubs also take opportunity to show off their cars at the event, such as the V8 Holden Club and the Torana Club. 

The celebration originated as a picnic at Parramatta Park, then we started inviting other Clubs and it has now grown to what it is today - with 150+ cars entered in 2006. This is one of the biggest single Club run shows which attracts private entries as wells as entries from many other local and interstate Clubs.

 2007 Anniversary Day Report

Well the belated birthday bash went off without a hitch last week.  It was a beautiful sunny day which was perfect for taking great pictures of the cars but many were sporting a pink glow from sunburn!! 

Whilst it was disappointing that we did not have the rollup that we hoped for, we knew that rescheduling the day may result in a drop in numbers but it certainly did not drop the quality of the cars on display. 

This year we had the event catered for rather than cooking ourselves – which was great for the members who normally work tirelessly all day at the BBQ or cash registers.  It was nice to be able to have a good look at the cars on display this year and I was able to take photos of them all too, still help Dave with the tallying and have time to spare!! 

This year there were a few cars new to the scene which, as per usual get a “good going over” from the die hard enthusiasts and quite a few looking to buy EHs as well.  It was also good to see that not all cars were at show condition – thanks Anna for showing us that we don’t need to buy a radiator return bottle while ever Mount Franklin is still in business!!  I was also quite impressed with the hearse display that sensed you coming and played creepy cemetery sounds.  The kids had fun running around, playing on the equipment and lazing around at the back of their parents cars watching DVD’s. 

We kicked off the raffle and then rolled into the presentation around 2.40pm.  The trophy list and winners is at the back of the newsletter.  Congratulations to all trophy winners.  Although numbers were down, it was a great day with some great cars on display.
