At last after so much changeable
weather not really suitable for MG open
top touring we were blessed with a
lovely sunny 20deg day for our lunch
run. 29 people assembled at Crafers
Hotel, most in their MGs including A’s,
B’s, F’s, T & Y types.
All settled in for a coffee and chat before
setting out on our run to our lunch desti-
nation The Gully Hotel, Tea Tree Gully.
It was nice to see first timers Steve and
Pat Holmes join us in their lovely little
red bug eyed Healy Sprite.
The route traversed 80 km of green roll-
ing vistas of the Adelaide Hills to the
Gully Hotel where another 6 members
joined us for lunch. Amongst these were
Chris and Annette Kinney, Chris deter-
mined not to miss the lunch even though
he had to use two chairs, one to rest his
foot on after recent surgery.
Most of the route used back road and
bypassed many towns and it appeared
that most members enjoyed the roads
and some so much they have kept the
instructions and will do it again at their
leisure.
We were looked after well by the hotel
who would like to see us return. We did
get a pleasant surprise whilst at lunch
with previous lunch run organisers
Diane and David Holmes calling in to
say hello.
Next Mid Week Lunch Run will be on
Thursday 11 th October meeting at 10.30
am at the Lounge Bar, Torrens Arms
Hotel 95 Belair Rd, Kingswood, depart-
ing 11.30 am for a 12.30 pm lunch at
Meadows Hotel.
