The MX-5 Club of NSW is organising the event and there are limited places available, so make a decision early. See/drive some great roads and meet/make some interstate MX-5 friends.

Details for QLD members are on the MX-5 Club of QLD website. and there is more chat etc. through this link.

Hmmm... a good friend I haven't seen in many years manages Roches Family Hotel.
John, would you know if there's anything going on there? If so, I (+1) would be keen to come.

Sorry Andrew, I don't know anything about Roches.

This is a combined clubs event for MX-5 club members. The MX-5 Club of NSW are the principal organisers and are handling the function/accommodation arrangements.

Just back now. We had a fantastic run around the great roads despite the rubbish weather. It was also great meeting up again with the NSW club folk and enjoying the evenings together after the runs. Many thanks Kuntry Kuzzin for organising and running the weekend.

419km @ 27L @ $1.609 BP 98 - $43.44
