SCARAB BITS<br />

The Ferny Road Diner hosted a /Roller Derby Car Wash on Saturday<br />

14th April. The event was a fundraiser for the <strong>Gold</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> Roller Derby. Also, on the day<br />

rockabilly band "Regular Gonzales" performed along with stalls selling car memorabilia<br />

and pin striper artists LB Guzzler and Stan Thompson.<br />

The day was a huge success despite patchy rain. Around a dozen SCARAB members<br />

attended with President Ron, Mike, John Henry, Sue and John staying most of the day.<br />

Sunday the 22nd April saw the SCARAB Club Run. As happens regularly, other events<br />

clashed including the very popular Carrara Swap, Show and Shine<br />

put on by the <strong>Gold</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> Restorers Association. This event has<br />

outgrown the venue at Carrara with entry restricted by 7.45am to<br />

show cars only with spectators having to park where they could.<br />

This year the weather was perfect with thousands of people<br />

attending, I counted around a dozen SCARAB members, but that<br />

number could have been more as everything was spread over a<br />

large area. We set up out chairs in a shady area under a large tree<br />

and watched the passing parade.<br />
