DAY TRIP to HAT HEAD
Sunday, 10th March
The popular run to the beautiful Hat Head via Crescent Head and Gladstone is set down for March.
We now start the runs north at the Stirling Cafe (Map is on Events page) Meet at 9:00am for 9:30am start. Morning Tea at Kempsey Park.
There's a Take-away up the road but most BYO everything including chairs.
This will be our second Members Draw.
The first was at Forster and Robyn Bushell's name was drawn out, but wouldn't you want to know, they were away at another event.
Rick and Robyn are stalwarts of the club and go to all of the events but like they say "That's the luck of the draw".
So the prize jackpots for this run.

FISH and CHIPS RUN to ROCKS FERRY
Sunday December 16th A showery Sunday put the dampeners on the run to Rocks Ferry and only a handful of starters risked taking their old cars out in the skies that threatened hail. However, the Fish and Chips at North Haven were as delicious as always and the cosy atmosphere in a bulging cafe made it a nice change from the usual picnic in the park. Our photographer John Waters took a few snaps and they're HERE |

FAMILY CHRISTMAS PARTY
Sunday December 2nd Santa has been dieting for twelve months and a much lighter version kept the kids happy this year as he handed out presents. With Santa caps flying, he arrived in Laurie's 1925 Morris Cowley, his face a rosy pink. Perfect weather made for a great day and it was well attended as usual. All the pics are HERE |
COMBINED CLUBS RUN TO ARAKOON
Sunday November 18th A bleak day certainly scared away the Sugar Babies. Above is a photos of the entire field of entrants.... Chris and John Waters were the only ones from our club. One of the few bits of good news from the run was that John's FE Holden didn't overheat or break down! They found solace at Horseshoe Bay pub.

PICNIC RUN TO FORSTER
Sunday November 25th Ten cars made the picnic run to Tuncurry on a blustery but rain-free Sunday. Royce Jago's 1955 all-original Holden FJ Special made an appearance and was hailed as a great shed-find. After lunch, a tour of Great Lakes Museum was a happy surprise, with plenty of exhibits showing the history of Forster and Tuncurry and its industries over the years. The photo above shows how much Nabiac has changed with the highway upgrade. Photos HERE  Exploring Dangar Falls during campout
