<strong>2021</strong> Twin RiveRs MoToRing exTRavaganza<br />

a&P showgrounds, Curletts Road This sunday 14th <strong>March</strong><br />

gates open at 10am<br />

The Twin Rivers event, organised by Avonhead Rotary<br />

Club as a Charity fundraiser is hugely popular and well<br />

established on the local motoring enthusiast’s calendar,<br />

catering for all types of vehicle and a broad range of<br />

interests.<br />

The diverse range of vehicles has always ensured this<br />

popular event draws large numbers every year, and the<br />

parade is always a crowd pleaser. Special sections for<br />

classic trucks and vintage machinery have been introduced<br />

due to popular demand.<br />

Last years’ event was extremely successful with over 650<br />

cars participating. We were also lucky that we managed to<br />

get in just before lockdown, so at least some enthusiasts<br />

were able to recall a great event over the succeeding weeks.<br />

Paul Kelly Motor Company is once again the principal<br />

sponsor of the event for<br />

the ninth consecutive<br />

year. “The Twin Rivers event is a great day out on the<br />

Canterbury calendar and we’re delighted to be supporting<br />

the event and this years’ charity The Canterbury Charity<br />

Hospital’” says Ben Harris, General Manager of PKMC.<br />

This year’s event on Sunday 14th <strong>March</strong> <strong>2021</strong> will be the<br />

24th year the event has run, and is now a fixture for the<br />

second Sunday in <strong>March</strong> in the future.<br />

The entry charge of $20 per display and per<br />

spectator vehicle – irrespective of how<br />

full you can get them - will again go<br />

towards providing the Canterbury<br />

Charity Hospital with some much<br />

needed surgical equipment to<br />

enable them to continue to<br />

assist and support people in<br />

need in Canterbury.<br />

The parade route has been<br />

changed by popular request<br />

to regain some affinity with<br />

the Christchurch rivers and<br />

further refined this year to<br />

suit traffic conditions. The<br />

parade starts at 2.30 pm,<br />

and around 20 minutes<br />

later should be passing by<br />

Princess Margaret Hospital<br />

in Cashmere, which will be a<br />

great vantage spot to see some<br />

magnificent vehicles in all their glory.<br />

Notices have been erected along the parade route so<br />

that people are able to see the cars. The parade is expected<br />

to take 45-60 minutes and will return<br />

to the Showgrounds.<br />

Special displays this year include<br />

the ever-popular demonstrations<br />

and test drives of electric vehicles;<br />

the ‘Go Baby Go’ project, a<br />

project supported by Sunrise<br />

Rotary which improves mobility<br />

for disabled children; the Vintage<br />

Machinery Club with fantastic<br />

old tractors and other interesting<br />

machines, as well as displays of some<br />

very special cars from our sponsors.<br />

Twin Rivers is renowned for its great<br />

atmosphere – those who come along can<br />

enjoy live music, entertainment for all ages, food<br />

and refreshments.<br />
