Undeterred by wet weather and plenty of potholes, nearly 40 classic vehicles took to local roads on July 1 for the annual Wellsford Warkworth Vintage Car Club Winter Woollies Wander.
Departing from Warkworth, the rally had to take a last minute detour due to the Dome being closed, so headed out west to SH16 and up to Port Albert, before meandering through the back roads to Tapora Hall, where soup, rolls, sandwiches and souvenirs were provided as a fundraiser for Tapora School. The drivers then returned to Warkworth via Wellsford, Whangaripo and Matakana for a Saturday night dinner and a barbecue on Sunday.
Tapora School principal Keryl Lee said the lunch raised more than $1200, which will go towards providing an extra teacher for the school. She thanked Penny Hinchelwood, parents, staff and Tapora community members for organising the lunch.
