Pat Bailey from Can Assist accepted the cheque.
Thanks to the generosity of local businesses and sponsors the car club was able to provide a cheque for $7740.27.
Can Assist members worked tirelessly to man the gate on the day of the car show and collected the gold coin donation entry fee which totalled $2791 and also raised another $320 from their raffle which produced a grand total of $10851.27 going to Can Assist.
In accepting the cheque Pat Bailey was extremely appreciative and as usual humble about her efforts and those of the many members of Can Assist.
She reminded the audience that every cent of this money is used locally to support only Parkes cancer sufferers and their families.
Rodney mentioned that the donation this year was up on last years efforts and impressed on people that it is only through the ever supportive generosity of local businesses that the club can make such a donation.
For anybody interested in the car show, next years date is Saturday, October 19, and of course if you are a business and you'd like to come on board as a sponsor to help out Can Assist please contact the CWCC by email at centralwestcarclub@gmail.com and we are more than happy to discuss.
About the Central West Car Club
The club was formed in 1954 following a meeting of people from all walks of life who shared a common interest in racing high powered vehicles.
They included dentists Geoff Brown and Alan Threlfo, car salesmen Ken and Allan Miller, banker Wal Horler, BP representative Alex Venn, auto-electrician Gary Wilson and many others such as Henry Jones from Forbes, Eston White and Alf Head.
