At this afternoon's opening 'Nibble & Natter' get-together, it was a chance to rekindle old friendships & make some new ones & keep those Model A’s alive in their 90th year.

Model A Fords lined up in the car park this 
afternoon for the welcoming Nibble & Natter.

It is so nice to see this event so widely attended by Model A Ford enthusiasts from all over Australia & New Zealand.
