BOB'S Run to McCracken Country Club
Easter Saturday 29.3.13

Easter Saturday 29/3/13 Bob & Carole Butler met at Blackwood cafe for Breakky, for those who were hungry. 14 cars turned up ready to go. Bob's tour lead us through the hills to Mt Bold & Myponga Reservoirs. At Myponga the cars drove over the dam wall. Onwards to Carrickalinga, Delamere near Rapid Bay where some people lost their way. Finally we ended up at McCracken Golf Club at Victor Harbor. Bob now holds the record for the most U-turns on a run.

After all of this, we were all invited back to the Butlers' Palace for a BBQ tea.
What a fantastic way to finish a fantastic day

APRIL FOOLS DAY RUN 1/4/13

We met at Macca's West Terrace 10 am for a coffee to start the day off. We had 12 Corvettes & 1 (cough) Mustang to head up through the hills towards our destination, when smoke started to billow from the back of Kiwi's car. Breck, Helen, Graham, Karen & Alan stopped to help while we continued as the road was too narrow to stop. We stopped at Norton Summit waiting for them to catch up, while Bob took the rest of the party for a small sightseeing run. After a few phone calls we learnt that Kiwi's back brake had caught on fire & the car had to be trucked home. We all regathered at Lobethal for coffee. From there we continued to Murray Bridge for lunch where the real April Fools Day surprise was; yes Tom & Sophie had joined us in the Corvette; & there was no blue sky to be seen. Tom managed to entertain us all by getting Larry's keys & setting off his alarm:- to our amusement & his annoyance.

Two April Fools awards were given out.
Stu got the stuffed sheep for best story told at lunch about Limpy (his sheep).
The encouragement award went to Tom. This was a stuffed Kiwi that played the Huka which kept him amused for awhile.
A big welcome to our new members Jeff & Jenny Wilson on their 1st run. Hopefully we didn't scare them off with our antics.
Great Day, Great Run, catch you on the next one.
