Lancefield-Romsey Lions Club’s annual swap meet is always popular but this year is expected to even bigger with the addition of a 4×4 car show.
The 4×4 event is believed to be one of the first in Victoria and has already attracted significant interest, adding to the typical attractions at the event to be held at the Clarkefield Oval on Sunday.
The 4×4 show will have trophies to win across six categories: Best Touring, Best Rough and Tumble (Best Feral), Best Classic, Best Modified, Best Chick’s and Best Showstopper (Best 4×4).
Swap meet coordinator Ged McLaughlin said Lions members had already had more than 500 enquiries about the 4×4 show and notices had been sent to more than 450 Victorian car clubs and enthusiasts.
“It’s what we believe to be the first of its kind, so it’s creating quite a lot of interest,” he said.
The swap meet will also include its popular car show, also with trophies to win across six categories: Best British, Best America, Best Asian, Best European, Best in Show, and Best Ute.
People can expect to find plenty of items of interest at the swap meet too with vendors ready for another strong event.
There will be a range of food stalls available on the day including pizza, spud on a stick, hot doughnuts, Danish pastries, and of course, the popular Lions barbecue with snags and burgers.
The Clarkefield Oval is located at walking distance from the V/Line service for easy access. There will be disabled parking and facilities available on site. Traffic measures will also be in place for the duration of the event.
A major fundraiser for the local Lions, this year’s event aims to raise funds towards the much anticipated Romsey Skate Park development. It’s a project the Lions have long been championing to provide an outlet for local youth and other users.
The event has sponsorship from Bendigo Bank, Forbes Automotive Centre, Frost Timber and Building Supplies, Romsey Auto Spares, and Off-road and Outback.
Now is also a good time to sign up to become part of the Lions club with many exciting projects ahead. New members are always welcome.
