Your chance to run the steep drop and climb out of the Manning River gorge on Thunderbolt Way
plus a chance to run the exciting Gibraltar Range escarpment
and the awesome Corkscrew
both ways, nirvana in a MX-5. Stephen's route includes three of the Great MX-5 Roads in NSW

All NSW Club members were sent a note about the Grafton weekend via group email. If you have not received the email, please contact
membership@mx5.com.au to check that your email address in our database is correct and that you are subscribed to receive club emails.
We're currently in a transition process with the
Events Calendar since Cathie has resigned from this job. Using IMG-STG for this page has proven to be very clumsy and problematic, so we're moving to a flat html page instead. This is only a stop-gap solution until the entirely new club website is launched in mid-2013. The new calendar should be available after this Friday and will include all the details for the Grafton weekend.

Spoke to my folks in Grafton about this, if anyone's short on accommodation, they have a room available in Fitzroy St.
They have recently organized a rally with the Classic Rally Club, these roads are fantastic, all attending will have a hoot!
Pm me if you are seeking accom.
