It may have been -3 overnight in Canberra but the morning opened up to a beautiful blue sky and we headed off to the rendezvous point, bright and early, to meet up with another 15 members, all raring to go, and five of them rocking up with their roofs already down in true MX-5 style.

A late change of Run Leader did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm as we finally got back on the road.

The first ever Club Run was held on 8 July 1990. The destination was Kiama for a spit roast lunch, after morning tea at Bulli Tops. The return trip was via Saddleback Mountain and Bald Hill Headland Reserve. Photo by Elaine Caldwell.
