Covid stalls event<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The brakes have gone on Amberley’s<br />
car show ‘Rock ‘n' Wheels.<br />
Lock down has forced the show at<br />
the Amberley Domain to be postponed<br />
until October 17.<br />
It had planned to run the<br />
extravaganza as aFather’s Day treat<br />
on September 5, but Rock ‘n’ Wheels<br />
Charitable Trust spokesperson<br />
Katrina Platt says the Trust has<br />
decided to push the show out until<br />
midOctober to avoid the uncertainty<br />
around the Covid19 levels.<br />
Katrina says interest is high in the<br />
event that was scuttled at the last<br />
minute last year because of aforecast<br />
wind storm.<br />
That followed acouple of false starts<br />
because of Covid19 and level 2<br />
restrictions.<br />
But the Trust, buoyed by the support<br />
of vehicle enthusiasts, is keen to have<br />
another crack at celebrating the 10th<br />
anniversary of Rock’n’Wheels.<br />
‘‘People just want somewhere to go<br />
and enjoy being with other car and<br />
motorbike enthusiasts,’’ Katrina says.<br />
Six community groups have swung<br />
in behind the Trust to lend ahand<br />
with all proceeds going back to them.<br />
There are no outside food vendors,<br />
Katrina says.<br />
The Amberley School is offering<br />
parking on the neighbouring school<br />
for visitors for agold coin donation.<br />
