Bungendore Run
Sunday, May 16th, 2010
Hey Guy’s,
On the 30th of May, there will be a run to Bungendore via Mac’s Reef Road
for lunch, then home through Queenbeyan.

at 10AM, right next to Rydges Eagle Hawk Canberra Resort.
Weekend at Jindabyne
Sunday, May 16th, 2010
Hey Guy’s,
Looking at having a weekend in Jindabyne on the weekend of the 26th Nov.
Hopefully this will give everyone plenty of time to organise themselves. We’ll
be staying in the Defence Ski Lodge in Thredbo. The price will be $33 per head
per night. You will be required to bring your own linen or a sleeping bag, and
there is a kitchen available for those that want to cook for themselves.
Meet up on the Friday night and head out for a tour around the mountains
on the Saturday morning. Depending upon the number and duration of stops,
it’s about a 5 hour drive at an easy pace. Although fun, the roads around the
mountains can be treacherous so caution is advised. At that time of year there
will be no requirement for snow chains. It is highly recommended to bring a
camera!
I’ll post an update as soon as I firm pricing. In the mean time, if people can
indicate their interest, I can firm up bookings. The lodge sleeps 20 (2 to a room)
so will be first in best dressed, though I may be able to organise accommodation
for extras elsewhere if the need arises.
Hope to see you all there.

group!

Updates
Monday, December 1st, 2008
Hi everyone,
A quick update to let you know a few things. Elric is overseas at the moment and will be back mid December.
The race project may have found some more parts/another shell. One of our members has one however we need somewhere to store it. I am able to hold onto it for about a month in but do not have any way of transporting it. If anyone has a car trailer and something that can tow it could you please let me know via e-mail: daniel at tantia dot com dot au. With this second shell we should be able to get the suspension sorted out, then all the car needs is an engine and it’ll be up and running!

Storage for race project
Friday, October 10th, 2008
Hi All,
As some of you may know there is project to get an AW11 going as a race car for the club.
We have purchased one but it needs a little work.
Currently we are looking at another shell for parts however, we do not have space to store this shell.
If someone is willing and able to join the team to get this car up and running and has space to store an extra car please contact Elric at elric@mr2act.org.
Best Regards
Elric.
Up Coming Events
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008
Saturday the 18th of October, Cruise down the old federal highway. Meet at the usual Museum Car park at 10:30, then make are way back in to the city or Manuka for some lunch, or if you are keen and weather permitting, pack some food and we can picnic of sorts at Lake George! Start enjoying this summer.
It can be an in between meet before we start regular monthly events in November. And the lunch to start getting other events locked in for the next few months and some club discussion for improvements.
Saturday November 1st, first weekend of the new month, after driving down to the coast I figured we should all drive down, it was too much fun along that road!
Stop off in Braidwood for lunch at “The Albion” (Newly opened and great!) head down to the coast and I am open here on suggestions to where we head for swimming, so please send through and the most popular place we will head to.
Also mid November (15th? But open to discussion as I want as many people as possible) I would like to organise a go karting event for the club, we need at least 10 to 20 people.
Total cost is $540 for an hour, so the more the merrier, if we get close to 20 people (and bring friends and family) then we can book in for another half and hour for 270.
I need to put a 50% deposit so I will assume for 10 people and require an upfront cost of $30 (even number) by the end of October, so please let me know if you are keen.
So far the date is set as 15th but we can push it to be the first event of December if we can get more people for then)
They are open till 9pm so maybe we can go karting then do a club dinner? Would like many comments on this to lock it in 
.
Please e-mail me at elric@mr2act.org for more details or comments or to book and and organise a desposit.
Best Regards
Elric
