Convoy for Kids 2009

What a day!  The excitement on the kid's faces was priceless.  With nearly 200 trucks - which was great - thank you to all who participated it sure was a site to see - over 7km's of trucks moving in Convoy and the sound of the hors could be heard suburbs away!
The day could not have been possible without many hours of pre-organisation - a huge thank you to Derek Nathan for all your hard work in making the day a success.
We would also like to extend a thank you to the Coles Group for the best assembly area and support that we could have asked for.
