Held on Sunday 16 May 2010

Due to unavoidable circumstances, Roger – who had done all the planning and made the bookings for the Crookwell Cruise – was unable to lead the run and so it was handed over to Tony to fill in on the day. Roger, hope you are 100% fit again very soon.

An enthusiastic group rolled up for the day’s outing. Some new faces, some not-so-new, and some old ones – so a nice mix of members. Nine cars (16 members) departed the Hall layoff right on time, and the convoy picked up Jill and Dennis as it passed through Murrumbateman. Although it was a cool morning, we traveled with the tops down – hardy souls all!

First stop was Binalong at the café for a well-earned coffee and freshly-baked scones etc, then on to Crookwell via Boorowa, Rugby, and Narrawa. We arrived a little later than expected at the Crookwell Hotel, but at least we had a little more time to build up an appetite for lunch. Great food, and huge serves as usual – the bistro was doing a roaring trade while we were there. Lots of interesting discussions were had over lunch, and our newer members were given some insight into trips planned for the future.

The run back to Canberra was via Gunning and Gundaroo. A short stop was made at Gundaroo to farewell the newbies and those traveling straight through to Sutton. From all accounts, a good day was had by all, so many thanks Roger for all the excellent prep work for the run.
