MID WEEK LUNCH RUN NEWS From .. Roger Polkinghorne
Thursday 14 June 2018
t was a somewhat depleted group of hardy folk that set out for the Bridgewater Inn for our June lunch . Sadly the weather gods have no respect for our need to give the cars a run and once again most were kept garaged and dry . The wet and windy weather forecast did not sound particularly great for the run from Kent Town into the hills to Bridgewater . Only one MG arrived for morning tea , however Graham Loader did confess that the car had not been washed since its previous outing . Di temporarily handed her clipboard over to me whilst David is experiencing a touch of ill health . We wish him a speedy recovery and return to our lunch ranks soon . The rain did hold off , but the wind was quite blustery so it was decided to road test the plastics with a freeway run directly to Bridgewater . We were enthusiastically welcomed by the Bridgewater Inn publican ( Scottie ) and his staff . The food and drink service that ensued was excellent . The fire was blazing in the dining room

so with a comprehensive food menu and accompanying beverage list we soon forgot about the weather outside and set about problem solving for the next three hours . Laurence Foody had a big birthday during the week and got the Porsche out as part of the celebration . Not as classic as the MG TD but a lifetime of driving experiences had Laurie hitting the road for the day in the 911 MG substitute . Next mid week lunch run will be on 12 July 2018 at the Rex Hotel , Marleston meeting at the Crafers Hotel , Crafers at 10.30am and departing 11.30am . Everyone is welcome . Please book if you would like to come so the venues can be advised numbers attending . D i a n e & D a v i d H o l m e s – djdrholmes @ gmail . com or 8336 4557 .
