Our 2020 event was successful with 14 entrants from local branches meeting at the Windsor Community Church for the start of the run. The morning was spent enjoying country motoring from Invercargill to Riverton, with a diversion for a quick lap around the local Bupa retirement village, much to the delight of the residents. Lunch was followed by field tests and then a return to Invercargill for prize giving. Navigator in the Greg Elder’s Cadillac, Janet McCulloch reported “My one memory of this trip was sitting up in the car looking around at the scenery, smelling the countryside – some good smells, some not, but in general how peaceful and calming it was just travelling along enjoying the day”.
