This just in:

Having enjoyed two Christmas parties at Bombini in Kincumber, it’s time to change up the venue and go for a run in the opposite direction. The Club Lotus Australia NSW Christmas Lunch at Peppers Craigieburn has been confirmed – thank you for your support.

The Christmas party will be held on Sunday the 3^rd of December at Peppers Craigieburn (Centennial Rd, Bowral NSW 2576, www.peppers.com.au/craigieburn).

The cost will be $55 per head for a casual buffet lunch, not including beverages. Children are, of course, most welcome. We are sad to say that this year we will be unable to subsidise the cost of the meal.

To get us there in good company, we will organise a run south and enjoy our cars, great roads and New South Wales’ beautiful countryside along the way.

The plan is to meet at Loftus Oval at 8.00AM for an 8.15 departure. We will then head south the scenic way for coffee chez Ed and Kath Burton near Kiama, before taking the fun roads to Peppers Craigieburn in Bowral. There, we will park, eat, drink (for those not driving) and be merry. If you would prefer to join us there you are, of course, most welcome!

We will book your place upon confirmation of payment to the CLA bank account. Please deposit $55 per head as follows by Friday the 24th of November:

Caroline and I are very much looking forward to seeing lots of you to close out what has been a tumultuous and busy, but ultimately fun and amazing year. We do hope you will join us for a lovely day out.
