‘55-‘56-‘57 Chevrolet Club’s 50th Anniversary Dinner

Hello again everyone,

Reporting live from the Renoir Ballroom, Conca D’oro.   Riverwood N.S.W.

Last Friday evening 118 of us lucky ‘55-‘56-‘57 Chevrolet Club of Australia members and friends celebrated in fine style our 50th Anniversary at this magnificent venue here in Riverwood N.S.W.

Check out our commemorative 50th anniversary cake.

As you can see in the photo (above) they are replicas of the mighty 

‘55-‘56-‘57 Chevy’s in 3 separate cakes to be devoured later in the evening once all the formalities were over. Who ever was responsible and went to all this trouble to design and create these 3 masterpieces it was well worth while, because let me tell you from the horses mouth, they were scrumptious.

First of all I would like to thank the organising committee from the Club that worked so hard to make our evening the success it was. Their choice of venue was superb.

Conca D’oro went above and beyond to make our 50th Anniversary so special. Nothing we asked for was too hard and they made us feel so relaxed about the whole process. The food, service and all the workers made our night so special.

Not too shabby for a bunch of Chevy enthusiasts, punching way above our weight

John McCoy-Lancaster was our illustrious Emcee for the evening, John is one of our long term ‘55-‘56’-‘57 club members and made sure the evening kept moving right along.

I am the new kid on the block, I have only been a club member of the ‘55-‘56’-57 Chevy Club since 2018 and was fascinated listening to the various tales that were being told by ex Club Presidents and  long term members ranging back to 1974 when we were all young, good looking and without a care in the world.

Parked outside the Conca D’oro Renoir Ballroom on Belmore Road in Riverwood we parked John Fenato’s ( present Club President) ‘55 Chevy 2 door Bel Air and yours truly’s ‘57 Chevy 2 door Bel Air to give the suburb  some real class for the evening. 

Believe you me there were plenty of onlookers and spectators taking multiple photos of our 2 Classic Chevy’s parked by the curb as they wandered down the footpath outside the Conca D’oro Renoir Ballroom. (see photo below)

How brilliant do our 2 Chevy’s look parked outside Conca D’oro for the evening.

These evening make it all worth while, belonging to a Car Club where you can meet up with people that share similar interests as yourself. The car fraternity are a wonderful bunch of people and always willing to give you a willing hand when you need that extra bit of information that you can’t get out of a catalogue.

Friday nights ‘55-‘56-‘57 Chevrolet Clubs 50th Anniversary Celebrations was a night to be cherished.

Thanks for the memories.

Stay safe, and look after each other.

Regards

Ken Warburton. ( very proud owner of a ‘57 Chevrolet 2 door Bel Air, and loving it)
