Multivalve Register Run

from CLASSIC MARQUE JANUARY 2022

Classified Adverts

On a beautiful sunny morning (although the wind was a little chilly), 28 members and 14 cars gathered at the Marion Hotel at 9.30am and we were delighted to welcome members from other Registers. Unfortunately, Walter Bullock couldn’t start his Jag and phoned, hoping to be able to get it started and would meet us either for coffee or lunch.

Start Your Engines

At 9.45am we set off on part one of the trip to the Cudlee Creek Café on Gorge Road, going through Blackwood (where we lost three cars for a short time after they took a wrong turn) and Crafers. The next part of the journey would take us through Piccadilly (where we lost another car that ended up on the freeway), Lenswood and Lobethal to the Cudlee Creek Café, where Graeme and Betty Moore joined us, having just arrived from Gawler and the lost cars managed to arrive very shortly afterwards.

Coffee Time

Coffee and cake were consumed by all under a warm, blue sky and the café staff did a great job in getting us all served before mid-day. The journey to Cudlee Creek was a very pretty one as all the blossom is out and the Hills looked stunning and are recovering well from the bushfires last year.

Scenic Drive for Lunch

We left at noon for Lobethal via the Torrens Valley Scenic Drive through Gumeracha and Birdwood to Mount Pleasant where we turned towards Mount Torrens and into Lobethal, where we stopped for an excellent lunch in the Lobethal Hotel at 1.25pm. There we were joined by John & Betty Castle, Noel & Carmen Trew, Walter & Beryl (who thankfully managed to get the car started) and John Braams & Barry Sexton. The hotel did us proud with very quick service and fabulous food. I would like to thank all those members who turned out for the day and made it such a great success, especially to those who came a fair way to be with us.
