Our First Car Rally - Cars n' Clues

Our first Car and Clues Rally

A dedicated team of volunteers braved the rain and wind at Seaforth Oval. 

Forty five (45) cars with willing drivers and passengers participated in what turned out to be a fun day despite the adverse weather. All eagerly selected their clues and set off on a driving adventure around roads and points of interest on the Northern Peninsular.



Nothing says more than an endorsement - here is a a selection of comments from happy participants

 

Lindy, well done to you and your committee, everything seemed to run so well during today’s adverse conditions and It was great to see so many members and friends enjoying themselves ...John OB

What a great job! The kids had a ball and Jane & I are still married! Lily/Jack


Great fun well done!

Great Day. Shame of the weather. Well thought out. Arto & Jane Jormanainen

Well done to you all! It was a well organised challenge yet absolutely loads of fun! Hope you get to put your feet up tonight! Mark Whitehair

Just the right length. Thank you for all the organising of a fun event! Melissa Whitby.

Clues were good, kids has fun! Even on a rainy day it was nice to discover new places in our area. Thankyou! The Feral Berrills

Rally was great and showed us a few places we would like to go back and explore in more detail & in better weather!! Only thing we would suggest for improvement is to include in your promotional material is that it will take place rain, hail or shine so it removes any doubt. Frankie Green

What a great event today, so well organised and successful. As Di Hart said to us on the way home - you even arranged the weather so that there was plenty of parking at each "clue. It was especially pleasing to see so many non-members taking part - as that gives the club more visibility in the community and hopefully interest potential members as well. 

Thanks so much - it was great fun as well Roger Gray

 

Yes absolutely – great effort by the fundraising team and assistants – the camaraderie along the route with the various teams was really enjoyable with a large mix of ages being involved. Where can I pick up my winner’s prize???????? Rick van Brugge

 

 





Congratulations to all entrants and making the most of a wet Sunday and having fun .

Sample of Cars’n Clues Road Rally Limericks

1.    There once was a driver called Bill    

Who caused a lot of roadkill                        

The roos would run

when they saw him come

so they didn't end up on the grill.

2.    There once was a driver called Bill   

Whose petrol tank he couldn't fill         

He drove to North Head

Where his engine went dead

I believe he is sitting there still. 

3.    There once was a driver called Bill   

Who always aimed for the thrill               

But his latest "cool" antic 

Left everyone frantic

Proving Bill was a bit of a dill !!

4.    There once was a driver called Bill       

Who didn't like to stay home and chill

He entered a rally

With his Rotary friend, Sally

And felt overwhelmed with goodwill! 

5.    There once was a driver called Bill 

Who hated car rallys until

Rotary Club came along

His heart filled with song

            Now Cars n Clues he plays still.
