Spring Tour 2021

Midweek Run, Tuesday 24th August by Jen Cole Daffodil Day Deliveries
There will be no Midweek Run as such this month, as we will once again be delivering daffodil bunches to businesses and residents in the Rotorua area, on behalf of the Cancer Society. This is to assist them in their annual fund raiser. This will be on the morning of Tuesday, 24th August. We will need around 12 cars, with a driver and at least one passenger, so they can run in and deliver the daffodils if parking is difficult. We have had a mixture of vintage, classic and modern cars in the past, so it would great to have the same again. The Cancer Society’s office is located at 1235 Ranolf Street. The daffodils will be collected from the rear of the building (access from Hinemoa St). As access is restricted and parking limited we will stagger the collection times, starting from 9am. The Cancer Society will kindly provide packs for morning tea to take with us and keep us going. If you are able to help, please can you let me know either at our next club night or call or text me on 021 0297 5988 or email me at
