It certainly will be.

With the line up that has been organised it will certainly be good exposure for Land Rovers in general and also for the 60th Anniversary.

I'm pretty sure Bob and his crew are already working on a few more 'shows' during the year - What was it Bob, Eastern Ck and The All British Day - any dates and locations for those or any others Bob?

All British Day is on August 17 and the Shannon's Eastern Creek Classic for 2008 is on sunday August 24

Thanks Matt,

Here's the details on these days. PUT THEM IN YOUR DIARY NOW!

Land Rover 60th and 50th celebartions won't end once Cooma is over.

We are organizing two other major displays in conjunction with existing motoring events in Sydney in August. The LROCA Sydney Branch will not be holding our own LROC Expo this year.

THE ALL BRITISH DAY
We are intending to put on a great display of “60 Land Rovers for 60 Years” but it will not be limited to only older vehicles – any Land Rover can attend to show the full range from 1948 to today.
The All British Day is held at The King’s School, Pennant Hills Road, North Parramatta - this year it will be Sunday 17 August 2008.
This fantastic car show is held in conjunction with The King’s School annual Art Show, Craft Stalls and Fete and is a day not to be missed by anyone interested in motor vehicles. The Art Show, Children’s Stalls, Gourmet Food Market, music Ensembles, Bands and Soloists, cafes and Funfair make it a memorable day out in some of the most magnificent grounds in Sydney. There is something for all the family!
The Association of British Car Clubs brings together clubs that encourage the preservation of motor vehicles made in the United Kingdom or in other countries by British manufacturers. Our Club along with the Rover Car Club and Range Rover Club are among the more than fifty clubs making up the Association. There are also some traders with goods ranging from models, books, manuals and specialist parts for British vehicles.


2008 SHANNON'S EASTERN CREEK CLASSIC
A week later we will mount a similar display at 2008 Shannon’s Eastern Creek Classic, Sunday 24 August, 2008
This is the 44th Display Day presented by the New South Wales Council of Motor Clubs Inc. (CMC), Sunday 24 August, 2008
There are now over 140 car clubs affiliated with the CMC and the day is a tremendous display of every conceivable form of vehicle. In 2007 over a hundred member clubs displayed 1700 cars, commercials and military vehicles. There are historic racing car demonstration runs, bus rides and motor related traders every year.
For more information look at the CMC website: Council of Motor Clubs or Shannons Insurance website: Car Insurance Australia - Car Enthusiasts - Classic Car Insurance - Shannons

More information on these events will follow throughout the year and we will provide contact information for AULRO members who may want to be involved in either of these displays. There are costs associated with participation.

Bob

All you lucky Sydney people dont forget to go down to Hyde Park and check out the Military Vehicles near the War Memorial as you may just find more Landies, those belonging to REMLR members
