Destination Manawatu wins Bid for the Holden Nationals at Easter in 2011

A bid led by Destination Manawatu has secured the 20th Anniversary Holden Nationals 2011 for Manawatu at Easter in 2011.
 
The bi-annual event will bring 400-500 people to the region and over 120 plus cars will be on display at Arena Manawatu for public viewing. Other venues and activities are still to be confirmed but the impact across the Region is likely to be significant.

Holden Enthusiasts Club member, Malcolm Burr, says that the feedback from this year's National Delegates was that the bid presentation, prepared by Destination Manawatu, was "the most professional that they had ever seen".
