The 2010 event, as always is the last weekend in July; held on Saturday and Sunday 24/25 July at Pimpama (Qld) in conjunction with the “South Coast Restoration Society” annual show. Reg Schuster has again been kind enough to let ATCS use a good proportion of his very secure shed to accommodate our displays.

ACOMMODATION
I
don't have much in the way of details for motels - The closest motel is at Beenleigh, but
for people flying in to
Coolangatta, or driving in from the South the motels on the Gold Coast strip
would be best. For
those who wish to be close to the venue, the nearest motel is the Beenleigh
Yatala Motor Inn, at
telephone 07 3807 2555.
Interstate/International visitors - Public transport from the Gold Coast will be easiest by bus, but there are a few Gold Coast residents who may be able to offer a lift. If you do have to use the bus, just contact us at the show venue via mobile and we'll arrange to pick you up from the bus stop.
2009 Summary
Awards for displays were -
Best Display award went to Denys Parker with his Novelty phones
Best Individual Phone award went to Tony Falzon for his early Ericsson Wall Telephone.
Thanks to our judge Richard Shouten from New Zealand
