Another successful run that we should do again is out to the Pub at Captains Flat, Paul, I and others really enjoyed that one, lovely people own the pub and are Torry enthusiasts. Thye make plenty of tea and coffee too.

No rush, just one to add somewhere in the year.

I'll stick it on the list, along with:-

Towrang (North of Goulburn)
Golburn Wool Scour
Old Cooma/Burra Road
Bywong
Braidwood Pub & Model Car Store visit (another good one)
An overnight to visit all the Torries in Nowra/Beach Day
Paul's Nelligen W/E

And a February 2010 Brocks Big Day out Cruise, with possible visit to Fisherman's Bend and Phillip Island (that will be a few days worth).

I like the look of those runs, no doubt others will too once they catch on that these runs are fun to drive.

Oh, also forgot the "Top of Australia Cruise", Tumut, via Cooma. Very very picturesque, with a very long flat straight, including a stopover in Batlow (where all your delicious apples come from).

Oh, we also need to do an overnight in Jugiong to thank our mate Neil for all his help.

Tarago and Collector Pubs are also good.

There is also Crookwell, Sutton, Gundaroo, Gunning and Gundegai.

Mmm, I needs to get me a good map with all the local tarred roads on it. Might go for a drive after lunch.

I'd also really like to drive the old Razorback at some stage.

So much you can do.

Where have the first posts gone? Do we have some virus loose in the top paddock?

This is event is not associated with any particular club, i.e. you don't have to be a member of anything.

Next weekend.

Next cruise:-

Norton Road, Wamboin/Bungendore Road Cruise with pies at Bungendore Pie Shop, return via Kings Highway.

Date: Sunday 8th February
Departure: 9:30 for 10:00am departure from Supercheap Queanbeyan

I also spotted some good sections of the Old Hume, this side of Lake George we can drive sometime.

I could have been flag marshalling at the local hill climb and at Wakefield Park that weekend, but you get that.

As usual, all being well I plan to be there, I am finding it fun to be driving the Torry rather than having it laid up while work is being done

Nevertheless the Torry will be laid up some time this year.

Whats on in March 20-22 to bring NSW Torry club down here? Its obviously something that I have forgotten about :(

If you want to travel in a Torrie, just let us know, and we can arrange for somebody to pick you up in a Torrie. I'll try form a calendar to try avoid conflicts with other things I'm involved in.

^ mind you, with the current weather it may be advantageous not to travel in a Torrie!!! Gets hot in there.

My bro in law from Southern Branch told me he found a new cafe next to the wood-turning shop in Bungendore, excellent food and well priced for those who prefer not to have a pie. Seems some of them did this very same run recently.

Do we have any takers for this run? Its on this coming Sunday the 8th.

I have invited Jeremy his Mrs and kids to accompany me for the drive but he doesn't know what his plans are as yet.
Either way I plan to be attending.

Bro in law and Bruce are attending the hillclimb on that day. I am missing the first round as I said I would be on this run

Plenty of other events and I am not competing as such so the rounds do not matter. When I turn up to do some hillclimbing it will be for fun.

That would be Gary, and my bro in law Danny both from Southern Branch STC. They had a run on last weekend to Corrigans Beach where they had hired some jet Ski's.
