It's the week following Mother's Day!

The objective of the event is to get as many veteran, vintage and classic vehicles on the road at the same time throughout Australia to gain publicity for these vehicles, motoring clubs and the events that are run. The target audience is the public and government - local, state and federal. This publicity will highlight to government that the recreation and hobby vehicle movement is a significant force in the community. The event will enhance your chances of gaining new members to your club. Also, it is an opportunity to highlight some of the civic and social works undertaken by some clubs. Many clubs have a run or static event in their calendar to assist a charity and this is an ideal time to promote that event both for your club and the charity!
