MELBOURNE

We have finalised the Drive details for our last event for 2003.

This will be a very special day, comprising a memorable drive, ending at a venue for our Christmas Party.

Scheduled for Sunday November 30th, this event will include a special luncheon function to officially launch the new MINI2.CLUBS in Australia and to host the Club's Christmas Party.

The event will be held simultaneously in both Melbourne and Sydney and is open to all MINI owners, Partners, Friends, MINI Dealers and Sponsors.

Tables of 8 are available for Dealers and Sponsors or MINI owners who wish to get a group together.

Drive Details
We will meet at Albert Park, Aughtie Drive, at the Pit Straight, Melways Map 57 J6. Please arrive no later than 9:30am. We will line up for a great rare photo. You will be given full details of the drive and receive instructions about drive behaviour. The convoy will be broken up into a number of smaller groups and group captains wil be appointed to assist in managing each group through the drive.

We will leave Albert Park at 10:00am and head east for a trip along the scenic roads around the Dandenongs. All roads are sealed.

Those who cannot meet us at Albert Park.
If you live way out east, then you may choose to join us a bit closer to the Dandenongs. We will stop at Belgrave Railway Station Car Park (Melways 75 F10, first RH turn after the roundabout) at 10-:45am to pick you up.

Lunch Details.
We will arrive at our destination at 12:30. We are enjoying a fine 3 course lunch at the magnificent Marybrooke in Sherbrooke Rd, Sherbrooke (Melways Map 75 H2 opposite George Tindale Garden). Beverages may be purchased at lunch. Cost for the lunch is $40 per head, children half price. If you have any special dietary requirements please advise of details.
