Despite the cold wet windy morning 30 people, including members, their family and friends, turned up at the Grovedale Hotel about 8.15am and took off to Torquay for the show and shine. Shine? Hmmmm… the Torquay Rotary Club had already called off the show because of the rain but we decided to stick it out and set up the barbie for brunch. I’ve never seen so many people volunteer to play the role of barbetarian. I don’t blame them as standing under the trailer cooking bacon, eggs, hash browns and dim sims with the heat of the barbecue was a much better option than standing in the wind and drizzle. We lined the 18 Holdens and 1 Comaro on the oval and around 11am the sun stuck its head out for a while, which brought out the crowd. It goes to show the dedication of our members, making something of a dreary winter’s day (only months from Christmas, mind you!). Hats off to those who came along – the wind was that strong!! Hopefully the next run around the coast on the 20th will bring out some better weather.

Cheers,  Blissy.
