MG Car Club of South Australia BREAKFAST RUN NEWS From..Steve Spong W Breakfast Run to Kapunda Sunday 30th July 2017 home! So thanks to all who came and it was good to explore a different area of the State. ell this month we finally had a dry and pleasant day for our first time breakfast run to Kapunda, despite the best efforts of the Met. Bureau in fore- casting doom and gloom. Attendees: David McNabb & Kerry Hugo MGTD John & Rosie Miles MG Magnette Trev & Sandy Dicker MGA Nick & Denise Micklem MGA Peter & Bronwyn Micklem MGB Phil & Esther Smith MGB Leigh & Judy Albertson MGB Jeff & Meredith Levett MGB Olaf Wegner MGB Ray & Janet Hill MGB Berry Treffers & Tarni (the dog) MGB Garry & Gill Stephenson MGBV8 Tony Freckelton MGBGT Frank & Linda Pegg MGBGT Steve Spong & Barb Harrington MGBGT Peter & Sharon Coulson MGZR Adrian Ward & Rosa Binetti Mazda MX5 Max Sierp BMW Z4. Carly Spong & Milly (the dog) Mazda 3 About half of us set off from Veale Gar- dens, and it was interesting to note that there were not two MGB's of the same colour as we drove pretty much in con- voy all the way. The remainder of the party joined us in Gawler with a few join- ing the line from Lyndoch. Our club President and First Lady took their very nice MX5 on the run, giving the BGT a rest for the day. David McNabb and Kerry made the ex- cuse that they were the slowest and so set off from Veale Gardens ahead of the rest of us, setting us the challenge to reel them in. Needless to say by the time we all arrived at Kapunda they were onto their second cup of coffee and David was photographing our late arrival. So thanks again to David for his set of photos. Davidson Reserve at Kapunda is a pleasant spot surrounding a small lake with plenty of geese and ducks. Unfor- tunately the lake was very low for some unexplained reason, it being the middle of winter. The Council have gone to some efforts in landscaping and provid- ing shelter and tables etc, although the small toilet block left a lot to be desired! Berry's dog Tarni embarrassed herself by chasing a goose into the lake and going for a swim, much to our amuse- ment and Berry's displeasure at having a soggy doggy for company all the way 14
