Not often can you combine something you enjoy doing with doing something good for the community, but the members of the Veteran Car Club of Australia, Tasmania division, do precisely that. In Tasmania, there are more than 700 members of this club who meet on a regular basis not only to share their joy and love for all things mechanical and often aged but also to raise some much-needed funds for our community sector. So I want to give that club a shout-out today for the good things they do. There are 700 members around the state who do charitable work while enjoying vintage cars. Once a year, they do a major event. In February of this year, at their major rally, they raised $8,000, of which half went to the Hobart City Mission and the other half went to the Rotary Club of Tasmania.

I want to applaud members of the Veteran Car Club of Australia, Tasmania division, who also produce an excellent newsletter that covers all of the events throughout the state and promotes some very good activities. Again, highlighting the good work they do for charity groups across the state, more of this needs to happen, where volunteers can come together and put in those cherished weekend hours to achieve something good for our community. So I say to the executive and to the members of the Veteran Car Club of Australia, Tasmania division, thank you for what you do. I encourage as many Tasmanians as possible to join this club and enjoy it.
