MG Car Club of South Australia MID WEEK LUNCH RUN NEWS From..Diane Holmes Thursday 10 April, 2018. W hat a lovely surprise to find the weather was favourable for the MGs to take part in the run this month. We repeated a route, which we had taken in May 2012 starting from Crafers & driving via Sturt Valley Rd. to Cherry Gardens and turning north onto Main Rd, thru’ Coromandel Valley to arrive at our destination at Blackwood. Another first time visit to the Montagna Café, which Jenni & Darryl had recommended to us. David & I joined them there one morning for coffee so we could meet the owner, who was most obliging & willing to cater for us. We were given a space to ourselves in an enclosed verandah where we could relax & enjoy the friendly faces & effi- cient service from the staff. Not often do we have such a wide variety of delicious food choices at reasonable prices & this was very much appreciated by our 12 group from the many enthusiastic com- ments we received on the day. Need I say we look forward to visiting there again. Graham Loader took the opportunity to bring his magnificent Mustang along on the run – he checked with me first about parking, but that had been taken care of by the café owner, who had made ar- rangements for us to use the Uniting Church car park across the road. Thanks to all the members, who came along on this very pleasant day. Next mid week lunch run will be on 10 May, 2018 to The Clubhouse in Ta- nunda meeting at The Gully Hotel at Tea Tree Gully at 10.30am and depart- ing at 11.30am. If you would like to come please remember to book as we need to confirm numbers for the ven- ues. Diane & David Holmes - email [email protected]
