12 Dec GVVCVC - Gawler Veteran Vintage & Classic

On arriving at the Rocking Horse the scooter was already parked, with the rider already parked at the table,
awaiting his breakfast, complaining about how cold it was and a broken zip [well you can only guess]
Everybody who left Gawler arrived safely at Gumeracha.
Breakfast and socialising followed, with another large car club arriving as we finished.After breakfast,
members made their own way home at their own leisure.
Hot Dog Run Sunday 28 th October By Bruce Williams, Barbara
Mc Lellan and John Drage
This was a most successful run, the Editor got 3 reports, and Sylvia has not forgiven him
for not going!
1. (Bruce) Had a good day out Weather great. About 50 members
attended. First stop was Lyndoch for morning tea and then on to
Kroemer Park which is located by the railway line just north of Tanunda.
Lunch was presented by Brian Cox and Corrie wake plus other helpers.
This lunch was Hot Dogs followed by Fruit Salad and Ice Cream. Coffee
was also available.
It was good to see a group from the Ardrossan area and from the Chrysler club.
The park is in a good position to watch other clubs going past on their motor bikes
plus the MG club was also having a big day out, also Collectable vehicles of all
descriptions were out today enjoying the beaut weather. This get together was
tops. Thanks go to those responsible for this outing
2 (Barbara) The ‘powers that be’ sent a perfect Spring day for our Club run to
Kroemer’s Park.
We assembled at TAFE carpark and left shortly after 9.30am to drive through
Lyndoch and Tanunda to the designated park which is just over the railway line
on the way to Nuriootpa. Some people stopped off at the Bakery in Lyndoch for
morning tea and a chat but Ron and I drove straight to the park to see if we could
help set up.
We arrived to find Corrie and Kaye Wake and Brian Cox had everything under
control. It seemed they had carted half of their household goods so everyone
could have a trouble free outing that ran smoothly. Waiting for us to make some
tea/coffee, were four whistling kettles boiling on a free BBQ which is under a
large clean shelter alongside a new-looking, clean toilet block in a well kept and
good sized park. There was plenty of parking area under shady trees nearby.
A well organised production line was set up for the hot dogs to be put on the cut
rolls for everyone to add their own sauces, cheese and/or onions. This was
followed by cold fruit salad and icecream. Plenty of food, plenty of chatter and
relaxation for the 57 people who attended. A great day out - many thanks to Kaye,
Corrie and Brian!
3. (John). As normal , the majority of participants gathered at the Gawler TAFE
from 9am , Corrie and Kaye Wake, Brian Cox with assistants had left prior to this
in order to set up the destination. The day was absolutely suitable with the
weather ideal and at about 9.30am we set off for the Lyndoch bakery where we
stopped for a cuppa ,some stayed in the bakery and some moved into the shaded
area by the village park, where we all gathered before the drive to the park past
Tanunda. Others had joined us by then, and we moved on some of our newer
fellows followed the older members, whom had some interesting variations to
the destination , however they eventually arrived at the correct place. It is an
interesting spot, with good covered areas and a nice playing field , shade was
available and good areas for children. . David Kernich collected the food bounty,
and had to be scolded about not selling tickets prior to the commencement of the
consumption of hot dogs, but I am sure he sold everyone tickets, There was more
than enough food in the form of Hot dogs and fillings, and the fruit salad and ice
cream was popular, with many taking seconds. A good time was had by all, with
much banter and telling of tales taking place. About 60 people present, and a good
mixture of ages. Probably 30+ vehicles again a mixture of all types. Day came to
a close about 2 ish ( we then went on to Angaston, Springton, Mt. Pleasant etc to
Handorf for a coffee and then back home to watch the F1.
