Ausarmourfest 2026 was a huge success. Roll on 2027. Our sincere thanks go to Rob Louden, his friendly and multi talented team as well as the keen volunteers. What an amazing event it is. I encourage everyone to attend the next event.

And the final winner of the Panther Tank ride for 2026 is Graeme Watkins. Amazingly it is the second time he has won one.

This Friday, Saturday and Sunday is our major fundraiser at Ausarmourfest.
Unfortunately our volunteer who usually takes payments for merchandise, donations etc, is unavailable this time. So I’m putting out a request to anyone who can step into the breach, to contact me asap. If you’re interested and are able to help, please phone me on either: 0439 487 878 or 0493 728 403.
I can use any other volunteers for other tasks as well.
Cheers,
Clif Nelder
Coordinator
