Thanks to Lindsay and Fran for their sign writing skills from Magnum signs for celebrating Matilda 1926 -2026 for her 100th birthday. A beautiful result and a wonderful craft in signage now adorning our Steam Roller.

Thank you to our exhibitors including Park Lands Animal Farm who have been a long standing supporter of our event over many years.

We also thank the amazing face painter who was kept busy throughout the day along with another long time supporter of our event, the Sunbury Wood Turners.

A big thanks to Pam for the magnificent organ and Malcolm with the popular coffee van.

We also thank and acknowledge Gisborne CFA for displaying a fire truck and the AV historical ambulance display.

Many thanks to Brian Palmer, a longtime exhibitor with his beautiful engines along with Club Member Ray with his Furphy water tank collection.

Another Club Member Gary had a great display of engines and we must say a special thanks to those that operated the Clubs engines and the all important BBQ keeping people fed.

Train Club Crew, take a bow, your efforts were greatly appreciated and the revenue generated will enable the Club to continue with its activities.

To the wider community and our visitors- Thanks for coming to see us and look out for future events.
