Multivalve Register Run

We headed out at 8.30am to meet 35 other Jaguar members from various Registers at The Feathers Hotel on Greenhill Road, for a 10am departure, with 10 more members meeting us at The Oak and Iron Tavern at Mt Barker and Oasis Restaurant at Belvidere. After a very windy and twisty route out through Uraidla, Balhannah, and Littlehampton we arrived at The Oak and Iron Tavern for coffee and cake at 10.55am, meeting up with 8 more members from various points on the compass. A misunderstanding (probably on my part) led us to being chased off the grass, before parking all along the driveway in front of the restaurant. Coffee and cake were consumed and lots of laughs and chatter before heading off on the second part of the run. Back across the freeway and out through Littlehampton, Nairne and Callington, we ventured down to Langhorne Creek via Woodchester and back up to Belvidere where we stopped at The Oasis Restaurant for a very nice lunch and dessert where two more members joined us to make a full complement of 47. After lunch we drew four raffle prizes of “twin bottles” of wine, which made four members very happy. A very short meeting was held afterwards, including thanking the Oasis owners and staff for their excellent service and looking after us so well. From the comments during the lunch (and much appreciated) everyone enjoyed the run route and venue and had a great day. We are planning to venture back there again late next year by a different route.
