AN EVENT FOR THE WA TRUCKING INDUSTRY

As in previous years, part of the Show weekend included two major industry events – the Scania cocktail party which was held on the Friday night; and the WesTrac Gala Dinner on the Saturday. Both events were extremely well attended, with more than 200 people enjoying a drink and a chat on the Friday after the show, and more than 400 attending the gala dinner.

Friday night’s cocktail party, hosted by Show sponsor Scania, included the announcement that Chairman Barry Ward was stepping down from his role. Barry has been involved with the Perth Truck and Trailer Show for many years and his efforts have not gone unnoticed. Barry’s replacement has not yet been announced; and the Truck and Trailer Show committee wishes Barry all the best in the future.

The Friday night event was hosted by Karl Langdon, and also featured well known commentator Sam Kekovich as the night’s special guest. Sam did more than entertain, causing many to wipe away tears of laughter as he told his stories to a captive crowd!

The Gala Dinner on Saturday night, hosted by WesTrac, was also a huge success. The evening’s host was Adrian Barich, and guests were entertained by some of Australia’s best musical theatre performers; before then getting up onto the dance floor and ending the night with tunes by local act Amanda Dee and Soothe.
