The Whitsunday Cruisin’ Car Club (WCCC) celebrated a stellar start to 2025 with their Car Run, Annual General Meeting (AGM), and Club Meeting on Sunday, February 16th. The event, which saw 19 beautiful classic & vintage cars take part, was a massive success and attracted a strong turnout of local enthusiasts, including guests from the Old Iron Restorers Club.
The cars began their journey from Cannonvale, cruising along picturesque routes before arriving at Shute Harbour Marina Terminal. There, the participants parked along the waterfront so their vehicles could enjoy stunning ocean views, a perfect backdrop to the event.
The AGM was held in the comfort of the Marina Terminal's air-conditioned facilities, with thanks extended to Adrian and his team for providing the venue. The meeting also brought together several new faces, all sharing a passion for motoring.
A special acknowledgment was given to outgoing committee members and the Show & Shine Committee for their dedication to making the 2024 Show & Shine the most successful yet. The club also proudly announced that over $5,000 was raised from the 2024 event and donated to local community causes, including Whitsunday Suicide Prevention and Jure Portelli Racing.
The WCCC also welcomed their new committee for 2025:
President: Sebastian Foti
