Annual “Mapua Car Show” to Debut Sunday, 25th of November 2018

Tim Neighbourly Lead from Mapua

All car and motor bike enthusiasts are invited to display their vehicles in Mapua for the first ever “Mapua Car Show.” This inaugural event will be held Sunday, 25 November from 10.30 am to 3.30 pm on reserve land at the corner of Aranui Road and Tahi Streets, Mapua.

Those who wish to display their vehicles should be parked, as directed by volunteers, and ready for display by 10 am. $5.00 per Car or Motorbike registration fee. Votes taken on the day for “People’s Choice” Best Vehicle.

Along with the public, car and motor bike enthusiasts are encouraged to enjoy a relaxing drive to the Village of Mapua. Bring your own picnic or enjoy the local hospitality at the many village and wharf food and specialty shops.

Spectator entry will be a GOLD COIN donation per ADULT. Children are FREE. All funds from the event will be donated to the Mapua Community Care Project.

The Car Show was originally the brain child of Geoff Gaul, a member of the Chrysler and Jaguar car clubs, who involved Fleur Roberts, another keen car enthusiast. Together Geoff and Fleur have formed a team of very keen locals who are combining their skills to ensure the kickoff motorbike and car enthusiasts day will be a success.

About the Mapua Community Care Project:
Local resident Dale Vercoe is an amazing visionary whose generosity, the gifting of a parcel of land to the Mapua and area Community, is a generous start to making the Community Care Project a reality.

A Trust (The Dale Vercoe Community Care Charitable Trust) is being established to receive the land and promote the project. The purpose of the Trust is to create a facility that meets the health and respite care needs of the Mapua (and area) community. Work is currently being carried out to identify the highest needs and demand for care and health services in the local community.

The Mapua Community Care project is an exciting opportunity for all members of the local community to work together to create a care facility that meets the needs of a growing, diverse community.
