Autumn Rally – Shepparton
What a fantastic weekend! This year’s
Autumn Rally was almost a ‘foodies
tour’ with great food, scenery, fun and
friendship for the whole weekend. 22 cars,
a few novices, lots of regulars, and lots
of laughs. Ian and Pam Prior arranged a
wonderful route, including getting to know
some small local towns (I’ve never been
to Ruffy before!), some wonderful scenery
and some very quaint bridges.
The theme dinner ‘Aussie Jingles’ really
got the imaginations going, with a trip
down memory lane back to the days of
Zig and Zag, the Milky Bar Kid, Ic Pota,
B&D Roller Doors and many modern day
classics, such as Katut and Rhonda, and
the Bundy Bears.
Winners of this year’s Rally were:
1st place: The Prez – Doug Morrisey
and Frankie Elms
1st MGA: Lance Crawshaw and
Sara Russell
1st Novices: Robert and Anne Stamp
Winners of the best dressed were: Susan
Weatherby – Aeroplane Jelly, Paul Vermont
– B&D Roller Doors, Judy and Mike Pitcon
– Zig and Zag.
Another highlight of the Rally, and
again showing the brilliance, creativity
Doug and Franki –
Outright winners

write a jingle, with an MG theme and
perform it at lunch. Some of the entries

you’re happy and you know it clap your
hands’:
