WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY TUNE UP RUNS These runs are under-rated in our club. They are a privilege of membership, and provide enormous flexibility for members. I urge you to ring around, or just turn up at the Baker’s Cottage at the allocated time of 9:00 am (10:00 am in the winter months of May, June July and August), and drive your classic. The bottom line is, don’t forget the tune up runs – they can be just as enjoyable as the highly organised ones! IMPROMPTU RUNS I have established a contact list of members interested in Impromptu Sunday Runs i.e. thought up on Fridays or Saturdays and communicated via SMS. If you wish to be included on this list talk with me at the next meeting of SMS your details to me on 0412726420. It is important that on all impromptu runs members follow some basic courtesies so that we all practice and demonstrate road safety: 1. follow ALL road rules, 2. drive at up to 80 kph (50mph), 3. not lose sight of the vehicle behind, 4. pass slower vehicles if necessary, and 5. if you are slow or have problems, stay in contact with the ‘back marker’. For club run inquiries contact Ian Scanlon on 0412726420 Page 7 of 15 WEEKEND RUNS AND TOURS Contact Ian Scanlon asap 0412726420 or [email protected] th th June 8 – 10 2013. Long Weekend Run This is an institution for our club and this year we are visiting Carcoar (south-western slopes). It will be the usual excitement of staying at a country pub and enjoying all the thrills of driving/riding our classics in country New South Wales. Doug has contacted a car club in Bathurst and we are planning to join them on a run on the Sunday. On Saturday members will participate in The Running of the Fleeces at Merriwa, the Gulgong Henry Lawson Festival, or driving directly to Carcoar. It will be a full-on weekend, with plenty of time to socialise and have a few drinks. Bookings are now closed. The following members are attending – Doug and Cheryl (Room 2), Ian and Kris (Room 3), Alex and Tracey (Flat) , Chris and Genine (Flat), Garry and Sue (Room 8B), Trevor and Veronica (Room 9), Brett and Margaret (Room 10), Murray and Stephanie (Flat), Greg and Gail (Room 4), Bob (Room 11), Lindsay and Ann (Room 6), John and Gemma (Room 7B), and Ian and Anne-Maree (Room 5B). st th September 21 – 29 2013: Tour of Southern Queensland Planning has commenced for this run following the enormous success of tours in 2012 – Tasmania in summer and the Riverina in spring. It tours through the north-western slopes, into Central Queensland to Gladestone, the delights of the southern Great Barrier Reef, the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. I will be calling for further expressions of interest at our future club meetings. At this stage Mick and Robyn, Ian and Kris, Garry and Sue, Trevor and Veronica, Alex and Tracey, Murray and Stephanie, and Ian and Anne-Maree are planning to attend. I will CLOSE the books after the May Meeting so that I can lock in bookings. st rd November 1 – 3 2013. Upper Hunter/Orchard Lodge Weekend Club members have been venturing to Moonan Brook/Moonan Flat/Omadale Brook for over 15 years. These are more opportunities to spend a great weekend away at Orchard Lodge on Omadale Brook and the Hunter River. At any time of the year this is a wonderful part of the world, but it is especially great in spring. Club members with trail/off road/enduro motorcycles are encouraged to attend. Likewise, club members with 4WD or military vehicles are encouraged to attend. Furthermore, club members who don’t mind driving gravel roads are most welcome to attend. We will be driving/riding into Barrington Tops and over the Mount Royal Range to Nundle. We will visit Timor Caves, and always have a great time. The Future Given the enormous success of our Tour of Tasmania, of a number of tours are planned in the future if members are interested. They are: 1. In 2014, South Australia, Western Australia and the Nullarbor. 2. In 2015 Central Australia and Darwin. 3. In 2016 New Zealand 4. In 2018, Peking to Paris Let’s keep talking about these tours and spending money to make our vehicles reliable and comfortable.

This is one of the highlights of the club year. This year was huge – heaps of cars and heaps of lookers. The organisation was different and the area devoted to our club too small and crowded. We can hope that in 2014 we are allocated more space, or even our old site back. The club provided breakfast and lunch through our barbeque trailer.
