HCVC

LUNCH AT VAN DONGEN'S

By Kevin Toovey

The HCVC Annual Inspection Day was held at Kevin's Water Cartage in Kewdale this year, and was well attended. People got talking and socialising straight away.

The HCVC has been lucky to be invited to Eddy and Herb Van Dongen’s place over the last few years. This time around it was a hot summer’s day, last time it poured with rain.

Just an informal get together with a sausage sizzle lunch and an opportunity to chat to everybody without having a meeting or anything else to attend.

With events being put on the back burner these get togethers are important to all of us.

Eddy and Herb's place is home to working and retired trucks with lots of stories behind them.

Lunch in the shed was a welcome relief from the hot day outside

Awaiting some restoration work The Ford LTL above has been resting for a few years now and is awaiting some action

Another space saver is the grain top between the shipping containers and I suppose with the roll tarp it acts as a bit of a roof at the same time
