We are going to do another cross the Murray Run on the 20thJune 2010. It will start at the Woolworths car park on the corner of Montacute and Stradbroke Rds,Newton at 9 am to depart at 9.30 am.

I would like to invite all new and existing members of the club to join in, regardless of the car they drive.

Due to the cost of fuel, we are going to make the run shorter. We will finish at the Long Island Reserve Car Park, Murray Bridge and not go all the way to Wellington

The rain on Saturday night had gone and Sunday morning was clear and sunny, so many had their tops down.

Wind overnight had bought down some small bits from trees, but nothing to cause concern.

The first leg to Williamstown seemed to take no time at all, the coffee break seemed to take every bit as long.

Williamstown to Springton to Eden Valley to Keyneton is quite picturesque country. Then from the top of Sedan Hill the paddocks of barley, wheat or grazing make a chequerboard of colours in the sunshine.

The wide expanse of windows in the Swan Reach Hotels dining room coupled with the strong wind gave an interesting impression that the river was going backwards.

It was good to see Wayne Dowding and Maureen Pullman from Goolwa, Bevan and Jill Clifford from Loxton and Leon and Faye Rosenweig from Winke (Berri)

I acknowledge the help of Garry Chapman and Steve Bowra in checking the route.

MGF & Z’S FEBRUARY 2009 REPORT

The twilight run to Normanville went off well. Although it was a very hot day the temperature dropped rapidly by 5 o clock. By the time we reached McLaren Vale it was cool enough to turn off the air conditioners and drop the hoods.
At Normanville beach it was cool and to our delight the snack caravan was there and they continue to produce good fish and chips. At the end of the evening they kindly donated a donut to everyone.
The following people attended the run.

Barry and Deidre Burne
Harry Dickson
Mike Greenwood and Jan Dinan
Graham Menz
Bruce McLean and Kath Parletta
Brian Coulson
Joe and Mari Polo
David and Leonie Hartshorne
Philip Readhead
Neil and Lyn Stagg

Our next run will be crossing the Murray on the 3rd May which starts at Mt Barker then down to Wellington Ferry and up to Walker Flats. We will stop at Mannum for a BYO lunch.
As usual this is open to all members.

MGF August 2008 Lunch Run

The lunch run to Oliver’s Taranga Vineyard was very successful. All those who came seemed to enjoy the wine and the pizzas
Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us in the morning and I think this put a lot of people off coming. We had 17 cars and 36 people start the run and they were as below.
