This Sunday is Christmas/60th Birthday Picnic Day. :party: :party: :party: We have around 90 members attending this event!!!
Here are tips that will make your day better: :coffee:

Avon Dam is situated at Bargo.Gates open at 10.00am.  :wave: :wave: The convoy is leaving Uncle Leos Service Station at 9.00am so arrive at 8.30am and fill your tank  if necessary. For those who want to make their own way to the dam, travel along the Hume highway for approx. 50km south from Liverpool. Take the Avon Dam Road Exit and follow till the end. You cannot get lost   as it terminates at the dam itself. If all else fails GPS it  or  :phone: someone in the convoy.The address is Avon Dam Road Bargo.

We cannot stress enough that you have a FULL TANK OF FUEL. :exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation:

If you wish to leave early that afternoon from the dam  please travel at the back of the convoy so as to be last in for parking at the Dam. Parking is limited so we will have to double park.

Bring chairs and picnic rugs as there is limited sitting.

If you wish to bring nibbles and pre lunch snacks please do so.

Lunch is provided as well as desert. :perfecto: We will also be having a 60th birthday cake.

 Soft drinks,water tea and coffee  :coffee: are supplied. Bring your own alcohol :drinks: :cocktail: if desired and don’t forget your wine glass!

Plates and cutlery are provided but if you wish to bring your own please do so.

We have some sunscreen and aerogard but feel free to bring along your own supply. Also shade covers might be handy.

It is going to be approx. 30 degrees so don’t forget to slip slop slap.

And finally you all should be on your best behaviour  as Santa  :santa: :santa: will be attending and Christmas isn’t too far away



Please call Ray or me for any more details if required. Enjoy yourself  :hi: :hi:

Thanks all for a wonderful day out again. Mr Chivas Regal and I will be having a drink tonight to celebrate the Corvette. On the way home we had a break down. The alternator belt let go, destroyed the air belt and knocked the power steering belt of the pulleys. Limped home with no alternator, power steering and then to top it off, Jethro passes us going down Mt Ousley. Thanks again to the Committee members. All that work behind the scenes does not go unnoticed.

Great day in total: great location, great weather, great organization, great cars and great people.

On my way out of the dam I was flagged down by a guy on a motorcycle. Turns out he has owned an 87 C4 for some ten years. Said he rang the Club about joining when he first got the car and whoever took the call couldn't be less helpful. I assured him that wouldn't happen today.

Wanted to know where to get a headlight problem fixed (Sirfixalot stand by for a call.)

Went back to the dam on Tuesday and did some photography around the area. Heres a couple of shots of the dam for those that didnt venture down there. It has another picnic area closer to the water that would be great for a sunday bbq run.
