Most models of Mercedes-Benz were at Bowral<br />

After lunch, rallygoers enjoyed the Cricket<br />

Vince addresses our guests<br />

An honour to play on the Bradman Oval<br />

Individual trophies of each Rally entrants car and names!<br />

caterers made it a memorable and enjoyable day as well<br />

as all the Rally attendees. But, like all good things, it had<br />

to come to an end just as the weather was changing with<br />

dark clouds and rain imminent.<br />

My thanks to fellow club members who were involved<br />

and supported not only our Bowral day but the entire<br />

event. It was a great team effort and we can be proud<br />

to have hosted a great Rally with so many attendees and<br />

seeing great photos of these events on the Club Facebook<br />

page.<br />

Rally kit - Eros Lazzaro<br />

The Rally kit was modelled on tradition, practicality<br />

and value. The kit ultimately consisted of: “Hero”<br />

item, Rally program, grille badge, calendar, Continental<br />

cap, pen, windscreen sun visor, water, sun screen,<br />

Mercedes-Benz museum lanyard, name badge & tickets,<br />

Sydney city map, Kiama bag of tourism brochures, latest<br />

club magazine and a discount voucher.<br />

de Boer<br />

generated line art of each vehicle and finished art for each<br />

of the items.<br />

After multiple artwork checks and the production of a<br />

sample, then further rounds of artwork, the finished items<br />

were produced and delivered.<br />

glass trophy of 100 x 60 x 60mm with each Rally<br />

A entrant’s car and name etched into it along with the<br />

Rally logo was individually produced. The reaction of<br />

each Rally entrant when they realised that they had their<br />

own car etched into a glass trophy was superb!<br />

Program - Lionel Smith<br />

Every event the size of the National Rally requires<br />

a program designed to provide all the important<br />

information that participants need to be made aware<br />

of, particularly in regard to the events that have been<br />

included in the Rally activities.<br />

The cover was designed to give a feeling of expectation of a<br />
