Original HQ

This
event was held in conjunction with the annual Vauxhall day and
saw a number of Australian built Holden cars being displayed.
The club had a designated display area and had plenty of GMH
flags flying. The Billing Aquadrome is a well-known resort area
about 150 kms north of London and can cater for numerous cars
and displays
Greg
Barker, Product Sourcing Manager for RSP Australia, was able
to attend this event to judge and present a number of prizes
and trophies. This included two shirts signed by Peter Brock
and some giveaways donated by Holden's HSPO division Dandenong.
The enthusiasm shown by the UK members in the prizes was very
pleasing and the only difficulty was in deciding who were the
eventual winners.
It
was good to get feedback from the members about the service levels
and availability of parts we supply and extremely pleasing to
hear of the prompt, reliable and efficient service we provide.
The standard of cars and their presentation was comparable to
Australia and attracted interest from many of the people visiting.
For a couple of hours it seemed like home with the laid back atmosphere,
the rather warm British Sunday, the display of Holden cars and
the hospitality of the UK Holden club. There was no football,
meat pies or kangaroos in sight to complete the Aussie quadrella
so it was time to say goodbye and head off for a cold one somewhere
else.
