**THIS HUGE CAR MEET IS A FOOD DRIVE FOR CHARITY!**
With the support of The Salvation Army Hamilton, you, me, and hundreds of others will be donating crucial food supplies to our fellow Kiwis living in POVERTY, going without basic necessities right now.
Our last food drive gathered a crazy 1050kg of food, and we want to beat that milestone with this event!

TO ENTER THIS CAR MEET:
All you need to do is bring a decent can of food, a bag of dry rice, dry pasta, or other non-perishable food.
That even stretches to toiletries for adults or babies, and toys for young kids.
There are fellow New Zealanders out there seriously struggling to make ends meet. It's still a growing trend in NZ, so let's try to do something about it.
-
WHO CAN ENTER?
We welcome cool cars from all backgrounds - JDM, USA, Euro, new, old, ancient, stock, modified etc. If car enthusiasts will get a kick out of seeing your car, bring it along!
Spectators are free - but please consider bringing food along to donate.

BOWDEN'S OWN SHOW AND SHINE
There will be a Show and Shine sponsored by the legends at Bowden's Own, with $500 worth of prizes up for grabs! Any car that comes along is entered, as we find finalists through photos after the event.
We run this on our @rotationals Instagram story, with voting polls to find the winners going up a couple of days after the event. Find us on there and take part!

WHAT ELSE?
DJs: We’ll have the @Select_FM team on the decks, playing a wide range of tunes.
Food & drinks: There will be various options for food and drinks!
Toilets & bins: Located at the venue of course.
Venue: Innes Common is a beautiful lakeside venue in Hamilton with great facilities, lots of shade, and even playgrounds nearby for the kids - it’s a great place to be.
If you'd like to support us and what we do, you can grab our stickers and t-shirts at the event - it makes this all possible; it ain’t cheap to run!
So grab your mates, grab your family, and come over to Innes Common Domain, Hamilton, on Sunday 30th of November, because this is a Rotationals X Downtime Entertainment meet you won't want to miss!

SKIDS/ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR:
This is council property, and we are running a ZERO TOLERANCE setup for this event. We won't allow any risks.
If you skid, or act dangerously, we WILL find video of it, and it will be passed on to the NZ Police for you to lose your license. There's a time and a place, this is NOT that time. It's also a charity event, so don't be a muppet…
Anyway - it's going to be a massive day, see y’all there!
