Bobs Brunch Run

Bob’s Brunch Run  Sunday 22nd June 2014

 With the warm winter weather to greet us for the start of the day, seventeen cars assembled at the BP service station at Beresfield, ready to leave for Brunch.  After greetings, signing on and distribution of run sheets it was outside for final run instructions and for our Convenor Mark Gray to make a   belated presentation of the Hunter Chapter Member of the Year Perpetual Trophy to John Morgan.

 Our convoy formed up for the short drive through the back blocks of Woodberry to the Junction Inn Hotel over looking the Hunter River, at Raymond Terrace. Here we settled in for brunch.

 A good while later…… back in our cars again and off to the new Hunter Freeway to Bulga and the start of the Putty Road.  Here we split into smaller groups for the run to the Grey Gum Café. 

 After a great drive along the Putty we took time to socialise at the Grey Gum until the warmth began to disappear from the sun and it was time to head home. Some took the time to drop off at The Potter’s Hotel in Cessnock for a ginger beer or pale ale to finish off a great day.
