Ralph’s reflections on the Easter Cit-in

Ralph’s reflections on the Easter Cit-in.

Mirrored in the rear wing of our Citroёn D Super 5 are two Citroёns a new green C3 from NSW and John Freeman’s White Traction Avant,

Another reflection in the rear door is of Will Risboroughs’ lovely Citroёn2cv6 and the front of our yellow CitroёnAK 400 van.

The national Easter meeting of the Citroёn clubs of Australia is much more about the friendships and “joi de vivre”. The renewal of old friendships and the creation of new is the stuff which makes for a vibrant and active association of this diverse group of friends from across Australia.

This joyful photo is of Raiders meeting again. Enjoying a group hug is Helen Schembri, and Jenny Boyd from NSW and Al Roberts from Perth. From overseas we had Francois Bruins from Holland and Walter and Trudi Homberger from Switzerland.

The Cit-in facilities included a pool with views to Perth City and across the Swan River to some very exclusive homes.

These photos show the extent of the Sunday display of Citroёns at the Cit-in. As 2005 is the 50^th anniversary of the D series these cars were given prominence and were more than a third of all the cars on display. There were 110 Citroёns and 107 people registered.
