With thanks, Shannons Take Your Tops Off for Breast Cancer Research 2018

Yesterday’s event was a resounding success with over $2700.00 raised, and with Shannons kindly donating $700 for new quotes on the day,for a grand total in excess of $3400. This figure adds to the previous tally collectively to bring the grand total raised since this event began in October 2012 here in Hobart to $19600.00 locally and $35000 nationally.

The event began as the brain child of Rodney Belbin and Judi Adams and is now an event that Shannons run across a number of states, and is proudly supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Guests from Holland, Wodonga, and Warnamboul also made enquiries about running a similar event in their community.

The event began in Tasmania seven years ago and is a firm favourite with car enthusiasts, car clubs, attendees and the general public.

Winning vehicles for the 2018 event were:
Lord Mayor’s Choice – Jaguar XK120

Tasplates People’s Choice – 1935 Bentley Roadstar owned by Keith Drew, with Tony and Madelaine Thompson’s 1911 Veteran Martini a close second and Mike Clark’s 1937 Riley Racer Third.

Shannons Most Prized Vehicle– owned by Ken Walsh was a 2003 Lotus.

Many thanks to everyone who assisted and attended, and for another fabulous day which supports the work of the National Breast Cancer Foundation to fund first class research projects.
