Things we want to shout out loud about the club happenings
May Drive Day – Sun 30th – Cancelled
May’s drive day to Malmsbury and Trentham has been cancelled because of the Covid-19 lockdown announced on Thursday 27th
Our May Drive Day, on Sunday 30th, will be out to Malmsbury for coffee at Motobean Coffee Roasters. We’ll then head on to Trentham Falls via Spring Hill before lunch at the Radio Springs hotel in Lyonville.
We’ve been getting a bit of rain lately so the falls should be in good working order. It’s only a short walk (70m?) to the falls which doesn’t sound too arduous.
Drive start point is the BP Outbound at Calder Park. Meet from 9am for a 9:30 departure.
Dogs allowed on leads at the falls.
Check out the links for the cafe, hotel and falls.
Map and driving notes will be added to this post in a few days

Caffeine Run – March
March’s caffeine run will be held at the Boathouse, Moonee Ponds (7 The Boulevard ) from 9.30 am Monday March 8.
It will be held on a Monday due to other events (Phillip Island Classics and Rob Roy Interclub Challenge) over the weekend, and since it’s a long weekend we can do Monday for a change.
Feb Caffeine Run – take 2
The Caffeine Run that was disrupted by the 5-day lockdown can now go ahead so it’s been rescheduled for this Sunday – Feb 21st.
Same place – Heide Museum of Modern Art cafe – and same time of around 9:30 onwards.
Hmmm, museum of modern art? I expect there’ll be some Renaults in there then, eh.
UPDATE Caffe Heide – 7 Templestowe Rd Bulleen, VIC
After being COVID locked down last week which cancelled our planned 14th Feb Sunday Coffee run to the Heide Cafe. A week later, all was forgotten when members responded to a late RCCV email on Thursday and fronted up, I counted at least a dozen cars and around 20 people. What a pleasant surprise in a truly beautiful environment, alfresco and in door dinning.
This was a very social event, all those clean shinny Renos were forgotten, no walking around and comparing notes, etc. Club members allowed themselves to enjoy the pleasure of the extensive and varied breakfast menu and banter. In fact I don’t even think any photos were taken of the cars. My table alone had 3 orders of Heide benedict salmon, wilted greens, poached eggs, sourdough toast, lashings of hollandaise sauce and paprika. And you know what none of us felt guilt, lol.
A great way to start a Sunday morning.
Cancelled – February General Meeting
Apologies for the short notice but the latest lockdown has moved in swiftly.
With luck it’ll move out just as swiftly, but it’ll still have done for the Feb general meeting.
Looks like this is the year we have to look forward to …
Feb Caffeine Run Cancelled
‘cos we’re locked down for 5 days
