Once again we were so lucky weather wise for the Teapot Rally. The Clive and Jen Blundon from the North Otago VCC had a great run and came in To win the time trial and take the Teapot. Congratulations to them. Most of the other drivers were only 2 minutes out so it was very close. The committee feel the weather has finally settled enough to run the long planned Three Passes and Gorges Run. This will be run on NOVEMBER 11th. I know , not much time to organise yourselves but the end of the year is galloping up . And as usual the end of year brings a lot to fit in! So November 11th meeting at club rooms at 9am. Bring your lunch it will be a long day. For more information contact Steve Dyson or Bill Ryan for details on the type of conditions you may encounter.
