RPM Christmas in July as it was this year.

Many world luminaries have graced the luxurious climes of the Victoria and Albert Guest House over the last one and a half centuries. From John F Kennedy and Dame Nellie Melba, many famous politicians and Royal Family. This week it was the return of the infamous Rivers Plains and Mountains chapter of the MX5 Club of New South Wales.

Nineteen members from various parts of Western Sydney and Blue Mountains came together under the blessing of our, unfortunately absent, Social Coordinators Sandie and Paul to partake in a glorious feast of meats and greens complimented by fine wines and beers. The festively dressed guests in a controlled chaos then dove into the luxurious deserts to complete the sumptuous afternoon repast.

Much discussion was held with members returning from their “Grand Tour” as the party wound down and couples returned to their open carriages and four, for the return journey to their distant homes.

Many thanks to all and looking forward to future such meetings.
