Join us for our club run hosted by the TD Registrars on 8 on December 2024 to the NSW Rail Museum at Thirlmere, followed by a picnic in the grounds. All members and their guests are welcome.

Meet: Pheasants Nest Truck stop at 9.30am on Sunday 8 December 2024.

We will leave Pheasants Nest at 10:00 am to drive to Picton to have coffee or breakfast at one of the many cafés in town before departing at 11:00 am to drive to the NSW Rail Museum at Thirlmere. There, you will be free to browse the many beautifully restored trains, carriages and other railway history at this fascinating museum.

Steam train rides are also available and Santa will be there for the kids, should you wish to bring them along.

Once you have finished browsing at the museum join us for lunch. There is a kiosk to buy food or you can bring along a blanket and a basket of food and enjoy a picnic on the grass. There are also BBQ facilities available.

Entry to the museum is $15 paid on the day. However, please register to attend on our membership portal so we can take advantage of a group discount.

Join us for the Alf Luckman Memorial Fish & Chips Run to the Berowra Waters Picnic Area on Saturday 18th January, 2025.

Convoy meeting: The Bull & Bush Hotel, corner of Windsor & Seven Hills Rd, Baulkham Hills.

Time: 3:30pm for a 4:00 pm departure, estimated time of arrival 5:00pm at Berowra Waters.

The drive is 40 km and quite picturesque, fully sealed and easy to navigate. The route takes us through picturesque, lush green wooded countryside, up Windsor Rd, on to Kenthurst, Middle Dural and up to Berowra Waters, taking just over 45 minutes.

Maps & directions: The route to Berowra will be provided with instructions for each change of direction marked with a tulip diagram and the distance from the starting point listed both in kilometres and miles. It is essential for drivers the zero their odometers as they exit the assembly area.

Should anyone lose their way, directions to the final destination can easily be obtained via Google Maps. Much of the route chosen for the run is quite picturesque and has a country feel, despite being close to highly built-up areas of Sydney.

Non-convoy meeting: Most participants from the Northern suburbs elect to take the Pacific Highway to Berowra and then follow Berowra Waters Rd down to the punt, cross the river and assemble at the picnic area.

Parking is plentiful: The cars will not be assembled in one area, but scattered in groups within the available parking spaces.

Food: BYO, or enjoy the locally available fish & chips at the recently renovated Water Vista Café.

Seating is limited in the fixed undercover shelters, so please bring your own fold up chairs and tables. Enjoy the cool of the evening, wine & dine with the other MGCC members.

Traditionally this is the opening event for the MGCC Sydney. This is one of the more popular gatherings on the calendar, and all members are welcome. The vehicle you arrive in is your choice. All the better if it is an MG, but that is not essential. This is a social event, designed to meet other MGCC members, discuss cars, politics or whatever is your interest. Hope to see you there.
