GCDC Show and Swap 2023

Thank you to everyone who came and made the 19th Annual GCDC Show and Swap such a success. We were so thankful that the rain stayed away until after the presentations!

Congratulations to our award winners, who have taken home a lovely trophy designed by Tony Voevodin. We must also say another huge thanks to our Show Sponsors - a day like this is not possible without them!
