... August - Smeaton ...

Saturday 28 August 2021 looks like a good fit.  I've messaged the Cumberland Hotel for a lunch reservation, waiting for a response, in the meantime save the date.  More details will be posted later.

Who woulda thunk that this could conflict with Kev's busy social calendar?

You might need to go through Ballarat Kev, don't take a wrong turn.

So far we have ...
  • Jonathon & Vera - 2
  • Nigel - 3
  • Kev (if he's free) - 4
  • Russ & Sue - 6
  • Garry & Chris - 8
  • Michael & Helen - 10
I've heard back from the Cumberland Hotel, they normally don't do a Saturday lunch - but will do lunch if we have 10 or more.  Need to let 'em know by Friday 27 August.   So plenty of time, I expect we will have a few more added to the list by then.

Kev, dont listen to anyone. I will take their jam. We make make home made raspberry jam which is the best jam ever but I really like the strawberry jam you get. It isnt as sweet as most strawberry jam. Happy to buy some too.


Hopefully I can ride and therefore may be solo. Or I may have a mate. Will advise closer.

The Guru from Giru & Diane won’t be blessing us with their company this time round.
Diane’s having too much fun sitting in the warm weather and topping up her Tan, the Guru is enjoying driving  the new Kubota tractor around picking up hay bales and fixing the irrigation system. Next time if we’re lucky.!!!
Cheers
Neil

Already stocked up on Jam for this trip.

Any late attendees will have to let me know if they are joining us.   :thumb

May need someone to transport some jam to Popeye as well, if he cant attend?

With the current COVID situation here in VIC there is NO certainty on this RTE proceeding.  A call on this proceeding may not be made until PM Thu 26 Aug.

Already stocked up on Jam for this trip.

If it doesn't proceed, I hope there are enough preservatives in the strawberry jam and it'll be okay until Kev's next RTE.  Otherwise Kev may need to eat it all - it would be interesting to see a big red strawberry riding an ST.

Not a problem, things will improve. If the RTE is cancelled, will always be able to distribute jam locally as many friends also buy it direct from the farm.

You might go hungry then as ....

.... minimum of 10 for the pub to serve lunch.

And unless riding to Smeaton for lunch is a permitted reason to ride through the Greater Melbourne Metro Area, your ride will be something like this (at a minimum).
