Waikato VCC members travelled through Waipā to the club’s Cambridge base at McLean Street, some of them taking a brief stop-over at Victoria Square en route.
They came from the Waikato club’s five bases – Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville, Matamata and Hamilton. Once assembled at the club’s headquarters, they spent hours talking up their vintage vehicles and emptying their pockets in support of the Cancer Society by purchasing food laid on by club members and buying daffodils from a stand put in place by the Cancer Society.
Last year, the Waikato VCC branch raised over $4000 for the Cancer Society, while VCC nationwide raised around $80,000.
The amount raised by Waikato VCC will be known only in a few weeks.
