Coffs Harbour via Nambucca run
21 April 2021 / Wayne Lang
On an extremely miserable morning at around 9:00 am, Allen, Pam, Susan, John and Greg departed Port Macquarie and headed North up the Pacific Highway on their way to Coffs Harbour in the pouring rain, tope definitely up.
Around half an hour later, they picked up Cath and myself at the top of the Kempsey off ramp. The rain never eased for the remainder of our drive to our morning tea destination of "The Boat Shed" at Nambucca Heads.
There we met up with our run organisers, Rhonda and Rob Partridge and new members Chris and Mick from Macksville.
We tucked into some scones and a nice cuppa each before deciding to set off to Coffs Harbour via Bonnville and Sawtell.
Before doing so, we bid farewell to Susan and John who needed to head home for a prior engagement.
We traveled along some of the old Pacific Highway in the unrelenting rain before reaching Coffs, where we headed down to the jetty to our luncheon destination at "The Coffs Harbour Yacht Club".
As Cath and I were driving into the parking area, I hit a "bollard" that was sticking up in the middle of the driveway, I just didn't see it. Luckily there didn't seem to be any damage caused.
Our group then hurried inside out of the inclement weather to find our table. Then everyone ordered their lunches and grabbed a beverage of choice and started mingling. Around this time, Roby and Peter arrived to join us.
We had a lovely afternoon catching up with each other. The lunches were very nice and the conversation was plentiful. It's always great catching up with the members of this awesome chapter of the club.
To conclude. I'd like to offer a huge welcome to our newest members Chris and Mick, and hope you can both join us on many more runs in the future.
