Not everyone can lay claim that they have been in a newspaper with a large circulation and it can have its advantages.
The Land newspaper asked the Cootamundra Antique Motor Club if they could supply a couple of cars and some of their members for a photo and story on the up-coming Swap Meet & the town's Wattle Time Expo..
The Expo is for manufacturers, sales and service business's to show their wares and services to the masses.
The organiser of the Expo decided that as the Cootamundra Antique Motor Club was having their 15th Annual Father's Day Swap Meet on the weekend of 2/3 of September, then they would have their event on the same weekend to take advantage of the crowd coming to our Swap Meet.
T's a bit of a hi-jacking our weekend thing but it will benefit the town.
The Land newspaper photographer took some shots and I provided the basis of the story and this was the end result.
This is great free publicity for our Swap Meet, our car club and of course the town.
As a "PS" to this story, this article was in the issue of the Land which came out last Thursday.
On that Thursday night I recieved a phone call from a fella in Camden who had seen the article. He phoned one of the contact numbers for the Swap Meet to ask for my phone number.
Yep ! You guessed it.................. He wanted to buy wee beastie.
Our 15th Annual Swap Meet is on September 2 & 3 and is at the Cootamundra Showgrounds cnr of Pinkerton Rd and Berthong St. Main day is Sunday and opens at 6 am. Contact Don on 02 6942 6374 or Geoff 02 6942 7307.
All indoor pavilion sites have been booked but there are generous sized outdoor sites available.
