Whilst we were unable to proceed with our usual Motor Show for 2021 thanks to COVID-19 our decision to hold a "Virtual" Show was made to maintain the connection with our supporters and to continue to promote our Annual Motor Show and the Rotary Brand. Whilst we did not attract a massive number of entries we were able to to run the "Virtual" Show very economically thanks to support from our generous sponsors and the fact that we already had 4 Trophies left over from previous Shows.
Proof that we achieved our goals were reinforced when we received the message below from one of the Class winners this week
You will see that in a very generous gesture Val & Dave Perkins winner of the Muscle Car Class have donated the prize money back to our Club.
To the kind members of the Torquay Motor Show Committee,
I would like to thank you all for the commitment of continuing to offer an online virtual car show during the Covid-19 pandemic. With many events cancelled for the year it was a wonderful opportunity to still be able to showcase our cars via social media and continue to support the Rotary Club by way of cash donations via photo entries for the classes.
I am extremely honoured and excited to win the Muscle Car section and receiving a lovely trophy which is proudly displayed.
I thank the sponsor Bannockburn Panel Beaters for your prize of $100 which I would like to donate back to Rotary Club of Torquay. The Rotary Clubs across our country do a massive job in all ways from community support and projects to volunteering their services for catastrophic events we seem to have so frequently - you are always there to step in when required.
Once again thank you for the great show and we look forward to be at the 2022 Torquay Rotary Motor Show.
Yours sincerely and thanks,
Val & Dave Perkins
