Speed Bump Hit Squad - March 5th, 2007 at 10:50 PM

For those who missed last year, the Fifties Fair is on again. Not a car show, but a great family day full of Fifties music, culture, artefacts, collectables, dudes, and rides. Bring a rug and the family along for a great day out.

SBHS will be meeting up at Thornleigh Macca's as per last year. Meet at 10.00 for a 10.30 departure.

Matt if you've got some pics, throw them up.

Details of the day below...

o Fifties fair
Join us at the fabulous Fifties fair and help celebrate the music and popular culture of the 1950s against the unique backdrop of Harry Seidler’s first commission in Australia – the striking and modernist Rose Seidler House.

This hugely popular annual fair features fifties-style music, dance and fashion, vehicle displays, food, stalls and memorabilia, house inspections, activities and performances for the kids plus special awards for the ‘best dressed’ fifties-styled visitors to the event.

A free shuttle bus will operate between Turramurra train station and Rose Seidler House for the duration of the event.

Rose Seidler House | Sunday 26 August | 10am – 5pm | Enquiries T 02 8239 2211

Whats the venue Squiz Surburb


squizy - August 21st, 2007 at 07:48 AM

Rose Seidler House is in North Turramurra, in Clissold St. Hopefully you can bring the Smoothie out and meet up with us at Thornleigh Maccas prior. :thumb


_me_ - August 21st, 2007 at 09:12 AM

Would love to bring my '54 along - what time and where for the meet-up?


squizy - August 21st, 2007 at 12:16 PM

Meet up at Thornleigh Macca's at 10.00, for a 10.30 departure time. It's a 15 min cruise from there. Bring your money with you as there is an entry fee, but well worth the money to look at the fashions, pick up some collectable bargains, and to have a look at Rose Seidler House.


_me_ - August 23rd, 2007 at 08:25 AM

sorry, one more question - do you know which road Thornleigh Maccas is on? - is it just on the main road / cumberland highway? i'm trying to work out my route to get there as i dont know that part of sydney that well..


squizy - August 23rd, 2007 at 10:26 AM

It's on Pennant Hills Rd, next door to Bunnings. Nearest cross road is the Commenara Parkway.


_me_ - August 26th, 2007 at 03:59 PM

Heres some pics...
