Mazdas in the Mist

It was a perfect morning as 19 cars met at Yallah for our monthly "Mazdas in the Mist" run to Moonacres Kitchen in Robertson. To split our arrival time some choose to go our favourite way up Macquarie Pass while others went up Jamberoo Mountain. We all arrived in Robertson to share great coffee and eats with plenty of chatting and laughter. Some had come by different routes so there was a total of 43 people there ... 30 from Illawarra, 12 from Sydney and 1 from RPM. With such a large turnout, many wondered if it was a record attendance but we didn't quite match the 48 people at the same event last January.
Phil Reid, organiser of this event, presented the owner and manager of Moonacres Kitchen, Stephen Santucci, with a Certificate of Appreciation from the Illawarra Chapter members for his and his staff service over the last year.
Another very popular presentation was made by us to James Mate, the 2018 Illawarra Chapter New Member of the Year (NMOTY). James is a popular young man amongst chapter members and was surprised and very humble in receiving this award. Congratulations James.
After a good morning, at this very popular event, some of those gathered choose to motor on and went to Werri Beach Bowling Club for lunch. Have MX-5 will travel and eat. All enjoyed until mid-afternoon when we went our separate ways home.
Another good day spent with our MX-5 friends.
