The father in law and I left town at 5 Sunday morning to head down to Newstead. We got there at about 8, and by the looks of it, we could have had a hour or so more sleep in! Plenty of cars about on the oval, but not too many people, and the ones that where milling around, they looked like they had a pretty good time on Saturday night!
The run wasn't heavily advertised, just mainly through word of mouth and invites to friends of club members (By invites, I of course mean we told them they were expected to be there or else....) so we had just under 30 entrants. Anyway it was pretty standard format for the weekend, rego and sausage sizzle on the Friday night, Cruise and lunch Saturday with dinner at night and finishing with a show 'n' shine on the Sunday.
