May Club Run by Fleur Tomlinson Well we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect autumn day, the sun was shining and we had clear blue skies and not much wind. We all gathered at the car club for morning tea. We nattered over lovely cakes and biscuits washed down with cups of tea and coffee enjoying the warm sunshine. What a fantastic turn out of cars. Was great to see the Fyfe’s turn up and introduce the new addition to the family, the beautiful wee Hazel. What a cutie just like her big sisters Olive and Violet. Nathalie and Marcus handed out our instructions and sent us on our merry way telling us there was a stop midway for a fun activity which had us all intrigued. The Skelton’s were the first away in their little red “Chummy”. Given a good head start. Soon we were all in our cars reading through the instructions working out the course seeing that we were heading out towards Waikete Valley. And we were off. Heading towards Sala Street, past the big round about with the famous statue that us ratepayers paid for and can barely see. Turned off onto Highway 30 and onto Whirinaki Valley Road. We followed the roads answering the questions till we all met up at the Lake Ohakuri Boat Ramp for our fun activity. Marshalls Les and Marcus were there to greet us with a soccer ball and two poles and the objective was to get the ball between the two poles. Was so much fun and a lot of laughs and was good to get out of our cars and have a good stretch of our legs. Was also a lovely spot for a fun activity. Soon we were back on the road heading towards Waikete Valley where we would end up at the Waiotapu Tavern for a fantastic pub lunch. Well we couldn’t fault the food at all. The burgers looks so juicy and mouth watering. Everyone was eyeing up everyone else’s 6
