Hi All,
It's that time of year.....with a little twist..
Around this time each year we all get up nice and early, trek out to a rural McDonalds for an early morning feed and a chat with some new and old friends, then get ready for a great day out and about with like minded people!
This is one of our annual events and it tends to be one of the most popular; probably because it's generally free which leaves us with more money to spend on the car . Compared to some of our other events, this is probably the most laid back, no 'social drinks' before the cruise, no drag strip, no race track, just a bunch of skylines, some stageas, random Nissans and usually one or two other types of cars cruising together enjoying one of the nicest roads NSW has to offer.
We will cruise from windsor macca's at 10:30am sharp and head up to the halfway house on Putty road (approx 1.5 hours or so into the journey) where we will have a stop of about 15 mins from when the last car parks to have a toilet/fuel/drink stop (note, this station is a shell but doesn't have 98ron fuel, or didn't last time anyway). SAU NSW Committee members will lead the way and be scattered throughout the pack to ensure people don't get lost and of course to make sure everyone is behaving themselves as this is a public road
After that we will head to singleton for lunch, we will spend about 1.5 - 2 hours in singleton. Note Singleton does have a Shell not far from lunch that does sells 98 ron.
After Lunch it will be up to you all what you do. What we generally decide to do is head off to sample a few of the local fermented grape juices and perhaps some old mouldy dairy products. All are more than welcome to tag along.
If you don't think you will be up for the drive back home you can also spend the night; I will look in to some accom options if people are interested. please post up if you would like to spend the night, then we can look at some of those 'social drinks'
Now for that 'Little Twist'..
SAU NSW has decided to use the Putty Road event as a Charity Cruise, to help raise some money for a local charity and give some thing back to the community and help out those who really need it!! Everyone has a reason for donating to their own charity, which is why it makes it hard for us to chose any one charity to donate to, what we have decided to do is put up to you, the members. The Executive committee have each chosen a charity they want to donate too and we would like you to vote for the charity we donate the cash to.
If we do any more charity cruises/events before the next Putty Road Cruise we will donate to the 2nd highest charity and so on. Next year we will re-do the vote and choose a new group do donate too.
Please use the voting buttons at the top of the page to vote for your charity.
