MR2 VIC Club's first event for 2013

The VIC Club traditionally does not have a Run or Event in January, however to satisfy the desire to get the MR2 out and blow the cobwebs away we have had a "Claytons" event (that is a Run or Cruise when you're not having a run or cruise!!!) for a few years now. 
 
So here it is: This year’s “Claytons” event, an MR2 Club Picnic and if you have an MR2 you’re invited!!
 
Date: Sunday 27 January 2013 (Australia day long weekend).
Meet: Maccas, in Frankston, corner Nepean Highway & Wells Street, Frankston.
Time: 9.30am for breakfast/coffee, for a 10.00am sharp departure.
Bring: Your MR2, partner/passenger/friend, UHF Radio - Channel 16, Picnic Lunch, rug, chairs, drinks, sun screen.
 
Prizes for the best Picnic Setup.
 
We will be visiting the Sorrento Cemetery, Normanby Road Sorrento, for a Cemetery Tour.  There will be questions following the Tour.  Then to Watts Cottage in Watts Park (next to Sorrento Museum) for a picnic lunch.  Enter Watts Park via Ocean Beach Road.  We think we have parking organised, but in Sorrento during summer you can never predict what it will be like on the day.  Please check as we have a couple of alternatives for parking.
 
A picnic lunch is encouraged (BYO everything) but there are loads of Take Away shops close by.
 
In the afternoon we will come home via Arthur’s Seat and Red Hill.
 
As usual we need to know who is planning to attend.  Please RSVP to events@mr2club.com.au
 
Cheers, Kevin
President, MR2 Owners Club of Australia (VIC Branch) Inc.

    I'll be coming to this one for sure, and to finish it off I'll take a short sea cruise home to Geelong via the Queenscliffe ferry to get in some practice for the Nationals lol.

    Just a reminder for the first MR2 Club event for 2013. 
     
    Get the MR2 out, dust off the cobwebs, and join us for a fun cruise to Sorrento.

    I'll tag along. Seeings I live in Red Hill, just down the road from Arthurs Seat. I'd feel rude otherwise.

    Shaping up to be a well attended event for the first VIC run in 2013.
     
    If you can't make the cruise and picnic lunch at Sorrento, come to the start and say ..... HI!
     
    There will be a slight modification to the route.  We will now back track a couple of kms and pick up the new Peninsula Freeway (no tolls) to Sorrento.  If you haven't tried it yet this is your chance.
     
    It will make a great photo opportunity, 15 plus MR2s on a new freeway.

    bummed i cant make this event after it being in my backyard. due to family commitments
    ill try and come down to the premeet at maccas.
    the new peninsula link is great ive been on it roads are quite smooth. ill see if i can make an appearance for some pics.
    if your going via nepean hwy to portsea then be prepared for some traffic congestions and parking availabilities.
    cheers

    i got there at the set of lights in front of maccas @ 9.58 only to see what i believe was the last car ( a swilver sw20) leaving the set of lights, couldnt follow it down as i had a red light, went into the carpark and didnt see anyone so went back home
    was hoping to follow you down on the freeway and get some rolling shots but ill have to try next time
    hope you guys have a good time.
    cheers

    What a bugger man, was a nice cruise down to Sorrento. I ended up leaving early but hope the rest of you had a good day, I got pretty burnt with the targa's off. Think we need to organise a cruise down the great ocean road next time.

    Sorry you missed us Steve.
    What a great day, fantastic turnout, must have been 20 MR2s at Maccas ...... did anyone count them??
     
    Everyone enjoyed the Cemetery Tour, and the back roads to Sorrento avoided the traffic snarles on the Nepean Highway.  A slight change of plan meant parking was no problem either as we all enjoyed a picnic lunch in the cemetery.  Sounds creepy but it worked out great!!!!  Thanks everyone who came and made the day so successful!!!!
