There was a large array of fully booked swap meet sites, boasting a range of items available to purchase, delicious food and hot coffee.
There were also some spectacular cars, bikes, and trucks on display.
Club representatives have said that this was their biggest swap meet yet, with 90 swap sites fully booked and more than 150 cars entered into the show and shine – much more than anticipated.
The club did a great job at coordinating the event with a few unexpected hurdles thrown their way.
Trophies were awarded for the top five cars, top three bikes, and top truck.
Congratulations to Mild2Wild on such an awesome event.

Although it has taken a bit longer and created a bit more disruption than expected, Tocumwal Aviation Museum’s carpark upgrade is finally complete.
There is now sealed car parking for 44 cars as well as sealed pathways from the car park to the museum, cafe entrance and the Beaufort Garden.
The museum team extend their thanks to Berrigan Shire Council and Quarrell Civil Construction who worked through plenty of challenges and changes to deliver this project.

Due to the rising water level in the Murray River, Tocumwal’s Town Beach has now been closed until further notice by Berrigan Shire Council.

Last week Tocumwal Public School received a wonderful donation of a defibrillator from Graham and Jenny Spencer.
Graham and Jenny wanted to make sure that if a cardiac emergency occurred at the school, they would be able to give the appropriate care immediately.
Early defibrillation is the single most effective treatment for Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).
The device has now been installed in a special cabinet and is located outside the front office for easy access in an emergency.
Students were warned that a loud alarm will sound if anyone gets overly curious and opens the cabinet.
The school thanks Graham and Jenny for their most generous donation and hope they never have a need to use it.
