Economy Run Details – Sunday 17th August

It’s on again – we of course encourage you to bring something Italian (beg, borrow or buy, if needs be).

Always a great event, and suited to family groups, there have been a variety of winners over the years and memorable course layouts. Competition for the wooden spoon is always fierce too – (eg Lotus Esprit Turbo vs Ferrari 308 one year, Lamborghini V8 vs Ferrari V12 another).

The course will run for ~150km. Some short, smooth, gravel sections.

Meet at Retro Cafe Salamanca, 9am for a 10am departure. Finish point will be the Salmon Ponds at Plenty.

Please RSVP to Graham Mitchell on 0418 173 102 (SMS or call).

 

CMI Bruny Island Trip – Feb 8th to 10th 2014 (Regatta Day Long Weekend)

Club Member Di Wilkinson runs Lumeah – a beautiful B&B at Adventure Bay. We’ll be using Lumeah as our base for adventuring across the island, savouring the many culinary delights, beautiful beaches and wonderful sights. Di has kindly booked the house out for our exclusive enjoyment so you can take advantage of a fantastic rate to stay there for the weekend.

The formal CMI activites will be scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, so whilst there’s the option to head home on Sunday if necessary, you could instead make a full weekend of it and stay a second night. Being Bruny we want you to enjoy yourselves and relax, so you can opt in or out of the program as you wish – but all the places we will visit stop are friendly for children and adults alike.

If you’re interested in this event, please email the club or contact Tristan Roberts directly.
