MID WEEK LUNCH RUN NEWS
From ..Diane Holmes
T
Thursday 12 October, 2017.
he run to the Riverside Hotel at
Tailem bend was an opportunity to
blow the cobwebs out of our cars, start-
ing out from the Wallis Theatre at Mt
Barker for coffee where David signed us
in and then returned home, everyone
then took off to Tailem Bend via the old
highway through Nairne, Kanmantoo,
Callington etc;
We zipped onto the freeway instead of
going through Murray Bridge, I think a
lot of people actually went straight down
the freeway as there was already a good
crowd when we arrived and it was a
good turn out of members, the meals
were pretty good then it was off home
on the freeway.
This was one time I didn’t take my cam-
era so there are no photos for the run.
An interesting footnote, the attached
motel is fully booked already for the Su-
per Car event at the Bend Racing Circuit
24-26 August 2018 !!!

WELCOME TO THE PAECH
FARM
FOR 9 NOVEMBER OUR LAST RUN
FOR 2017.
This will be a return visit for some mem-
bers as we visited there in 2010. Steve
& Bev Paech are the present owners,
but the property has been in the family
for four generations since 1908 near
Wistow / MtBarker. They have a won-
derful collection of memorabilia, which
they have been collecting since 1970.
The exhibits ranged from stationary en-
gines, tools, railway items, documents,
books, working exhibits & much more for
the men. The ladies can enjoy looking at
the beautiful handmade gowns dating
back to the 1900’s as well as jewellery,
personal items, documents, lacework,
tatting & recipe books . . .all with a story.
We are welcome to wander through the
rooms of the home & to relax & enjoy
the glorious spring garden.
The barbecue lunch & salads will be
followed by the tour & ending with the
afternoon tea. Bev is a very good cook &
the memory of the food lingers with me.
There is no report from the lunch to
Tailem Bend as I couldn’t make it due to
a cold & David checked all the members
in at Mt.Barker.
The Paech’s can cater for more mem-
bers this visit – no need to bring
chairs, but still the need to bring your
own alcohol. Booking a couple of
weeks ahead would be ideal. We will
be meeting at the Crafers Hotel at
10.30am & departing 11.30am.
PLEASE BOOK EARLIER THIS
MONTH if you would like to partici-
pate. Diane & David Holmes email
