Twilight Run to Governor's Bay - 9th March
A pleasant evening for a drive over the Summit Road and back around Gebbie's Pass, to enjoy the shortening evenings before the end of daylight savings. 8 cars made the trip from Princess Margaret Hospital to Governor's Bay, where everyone enjoyed a catch-up with dinner and a drink. Thanks to Alan for organising.
House of Ball picnic run – 19th February
A convoy of 14 cars departed from BP Ravenswood for a short run in North Canterbury before arriving at the destination, a small family owned and operated vineyard on the western slopes of the Waipara Valley.
Our hosts Julian Ball and wife Lynda treated us to a tasting of many their home grown and made wines whilst also explaining their viticulture techniques. Lunch followed with a bbq’d beef fillet and satay chicken accompanied by salads and sweets brought by all to share. It was great to see some of the clubs’ newer members. Judging by the comments as people drifted away everyone certainly enjoyed their day out in North Canterbury. Philip. |
Alexandra run - 11th to 13th February
A fitting memorial to a fellow petrol-head and good friend to many, Steve Whitren. Many thanks to his family and friends for their hospitality, and to Grant Harman for organising the trip.
