SECOND "LATE" CLUB RUN FROM SYDNEY CONFIRMED

A second Club Run leaving at 8.30 am from McDonalds on the Pacific Highway at Mt Colah is confirmed with a run leader volunteering for the job. McDonalds Mt Colah has been chosen ahead of Rofe Park as it has car parking, toilets and a chance to grab an early coffee before a direct rum of around 130 klms to Tatler Wines.

FIRST WINNER OF A MX5 MANIA GIFT VOUCHER

Kim and Peter Ranger the outgoing Co-Captains of the MX5 Club NSW, whose Booking Form was the first to be received by Tatler Wines, are the first winners of a MX5 Mania $25.00 Gift Voucher as a prize in the pre-registration reward program.

Notwithstanding the smell of bribery & corruption their Booking Form was received before the package was announced on the Forum and was simply a chance win devoid of nepotism or pandering bearing in mind that they are standing down as Co-Captains. If there was an option to select a winner then Kim and Peter would have made an obvious choice as a small thank you for their selfless efforts over the past few years.

When next you see Kim and Peter congratulate them on their win but more importantly for their Stirling effort as Club Captains.

Kim & Peter’s MX5 Mania Gift Voucher will be available at Tatler Wines on the day of the breakfast.

Five more gift vouchers are to be won and announced as part of the MX5 Mania Pre-Registration Reward package.

My lovely lady and myself will join this event for sure. We will be driving down from Bathurst early on the morning. Are there any other Bathurst/Orange/Lithgow members that would like to join us for a mini run to McGraths Hill over Bells Line of Road? Travelling in a convoy sure beats travelling alone.
Cheers
David

Club Runs
http://www.mediafire.com/?z52wj5igemt

It is important for those on the run up the Putty Road to remember that the Roadhouse has been destroyed by fire and there are no public toilet facilities after we leave the Hawkesbury basin until we get to Broke at around 9.00 am.

INDEPENDENT RUN SHEET POSTED

A separate run sheet has also been posted for the benefit of those drivers taking the independent route through Dural, Wiseman’s Ferry, Wollombi and Cessnock to Lovedale.

Independent Run
http://www.mediafire.com/?jzruw1qwzmh


Cars on the Independent run should aim to be through the Dural roundabout by 8.00 am top ensure their arrival at Tatler Wines for breakfast at 10.30 am.

MX5 MANIA REGISTRATION REWARD

Congratulations to Alan and Kim Voung on being the first persons to make a reservation for lunch at the Tatler Café offering an award winning Mediterranean cuisine presented in tapas & mezze style servings.

A MX5 Mania Gift Voucher has been awarded to you and will be available for you to collect at the breakfast on the day.

(PS. Alan you were not the first NA registered that honour belongs to Kim & Peter Ranger. As I have limited the MX5 Mania Rewards to one per car, you do receive a Gift Voucher as the first to make a reservation for lunch and that removes the reward for a NA from the MX5 Mania Reward list.)
