RALLY DINNER

The theme for this year’s 1&2 rally dinner is ‘Op Shop – Dress to Impress.  Members are encouraged to buy a fashionable item from an op shop – whatever catches their eye – and wear it to the rally dinner.  Whether it’s Edwardian era, vintage glam, bold and bizarre, or unexpectedly chic, it doesn’t matter.  Come ready to strut your stuff, have fun and eat good food!

If you don’t have a one or two cylinder vehicle but would like to attend one of the rally dinners, you’d be most welcome to join us.  Be sure to logon to the Club’s website (by Sunday, 2 March and order and pay for your meal(s).
