Day 1 had its far share of events, breakdowns & flat tyres but we did finally all make it to Grossman House at Maitland and eventually enjoyed a relaxing dinner at the Beresfield Bowling Club.

Austin 7 Club members sometimes seem to take a wrong turn or an alternate scenic route when out on a run or rally. Rumour has it that one member took a very scenic 20 minute drive trying to find our Motel after dinner which was only 1.5kms away ‌

‌ and who might that have been?
