25TH AUGUST –THE BAROSSA CHOCOLATE FACTORY
Last Sunday we had a run to the Chocolate Factory at Tanunda.
We met at the Caltex Service Station on Port Wakefield Road on a crisp, calm, sunny morning.
As we drove along the Sturt Highway and branched off at Gumersol Road it was obvious to all what a beautiful view of the Barossa Valley in our wonderful state of SA we were privileged to see.
On arrival we found a table and then had to choose from a varied selection of luncheon dishes.
No one was disappointed with their choice. Vic really got into his chicken wings with Hudson reminding Grandpa he had most of his food on his face.
We then wandered amongst the hundreds of boxes of chocolates on show and for sale.
Some of us even lined up for ice creams to finish off.
We followed Daryl and Maxine through Gawler and made our way home.
To me this was one of the best and most pleasant runs I have been on and must return again in the future.
21ST JULY – XMAS IN JULY AT THE GLANVILLE
We met at Adelaide Airport on a very sunny Sunday morning then toured along the beaches from Glenelg to Outer Harbour and then to Glanville Hotel for lunch where we were able to display our various model Studebakers. We had 7 on display receiving lots of attention.
There were 19 of us enjoying a choice of Mains Roast Turkey or Roast Beef and desserts Berry Cheesecake or Christmas Pudding and custard.
Father Christmas was too busy to attend but he left everyone a box of chocolates.
Raffles won by Meredith, Ray and Cheryl.
Thanks to all who attended. Was a great turn up and thanks to the Glanville staff for the table decorations and delicious and economical meal.
