The Annual Swap Meet at Akoonah Park Berwick in Melbourne 
Victoria has come and gone for another year.

Quite a few of our members arrived at Akoonah Park on 
Friday afternoon to find that the old shelter we had used 
in the past as Swap Headquarters had been relocated to an 
unsuitable spot. Our resourceful President made quick 
alternative arrangements and Headquarters was established 
under the Big Top. This seemed to set the tone for the 
next 24 hours as problems were readily dealt with as they 
came along.

After a steady stream of patrons had arrived on Saturday 
morning the weather turned feral with quite steady rain 
for a couple of hours. I thought this may have sent people 
home earlier than usual but this didn’t seem to happen, 
in fact I thought more (particularly site holders) hung 
back later this year than in the past.

In very short summary I’m sure the highlight of the event 
is the way in which our members get behind it and work so 
diligently for the Club. As long as this remains the case 
there can be no end in sight in what has become a 
successful and long standing Swap Meet.
