Hello to everyone.
I David the organiser of The Queanbeyan Swap Meet and American Car Nationals and The Big 3 Car Show announce that the Queanbeyan Swap Meet and American Car Show and The Big 3 Car Show will be not be going ahead this year and will cease to operate again.
Due to the exorbitant rising costs across numerous factors needed for the event to go ahead I would need to raise prices substantially across all the different areas of the Swap and Show , and so its just not financially viable to continue and well people just wouldn’t come along as a swapper/trader or the public or want to bring a car to the weekends events if i raised the prices to what would be needed to just cover all the costs to break even .
Now I would like to thank Chris and Wendy who started this wonderful weekend event over 26 years ago and whom let me take the helm 3 years ago .
I also would like to say a big thanks to all the wonderful sponsors who many have been sponsors from the start and some new sponsors that came on board when I started . Your financial support and being there in person helped immensely with shaping the show into what it became .
Also to the many many past and present swappers and traders and the public who have been attending from the start without you all there would not have been any show to start with .
Thanks again
David
