Meet at Mittagong

RPM Chapter Mx5 Car Club

Mittagong RSL Club Run 13 June 2023

 

Starting our day with a foggy morning, nine RPM members shared great conversation over a morning coffee or tea looking forward to a pleasant drive to the Southern Highlands for lunch at Mittagong RSL Club.

 

Leaving Settlers Café Mulgoa at 10.30am the air was fresh and cool with some brave enough to drive with the tops down heading to Thirlmere for a comfort stop. The weather had warmed, and another top came down as we set off in brilliant sunshine and crisp highlands air. Even though we have travelled the highlands roads many times, it is always a pleasant drive.

 

We were joined by Pam and Jeff Rowe, Illawarra Chapter Members at the Club. After enjoying a wonderful lunch, we embarked on light-hearted conversation back and forth over the table as you do. Pam and Jeff enlightened us regarding “camping and fishing”, a passion of theirs. We learnt about rods, size of fish etc. but most of all the strong competition between them when it comes to “mine is bigger than yours”. It was great they could join us having most of us rolling with laughter.

 

The drive is one thing, but the friendships formed, and the stories shared each time we meet is what binds us as a great organisation.
