RUN THEME; ‘ IT NEVER RAINS IN WOODSIDE.’ The day dawned bleak and overcast, and as we made our way to the clubrooms, light rain began to fall. We were pleased we decided to take our “modern” instead of the MGB. Our dog was also pleased, as it meant that she could join us for a day out. A total of 17 vehicles set out, with a run along South Road, under the Gallipoli Underpass and the new elevated tram- stop. We turned right into James Condong Drive, then headed east along North Terrace and into the city. This showed us Woodside, June 2010 how far advanced the stage 2 tramline extension is. We then travelled east along Magill Road, and after a few turns, we arrived at our morning tea stop at Hazeiwood Park, Bumside. Quite a lot of interest was shown in Jenny and John Badcock’s newly aquired International 4WD truck. It certainly appears to have the ability to take any heavy work required. As we left the park, it was good to see 3 Toyota Coronas and 3 Zephyrs on the run. The trip up Greenhill Road to Balhamiah was enjoyable, and probably due to the weather, there wasn’t too much traffic, so our older vehicles didn’t have to contend with any “tailgat- ing”, which is often a problem on that road. After travelling through the towns of Summertown, Uraidla, Carey Gully and Oakbank, we arrived at the Woodside Oval, Woodside, June 2010 which was to be our lunch venue. As the rain came down in- termittently, we set up our chairs in the shed adjacent to the Skate Park. As none of us thought to bring our skate boards, we just enjoyed our lunch and caught up on the latest news. I believe some of the ladies had a sing-along to the tune of “Twinide Twinkle Little Star!!! After lunch, some of the members headed off to the nearby Chocolate Factory, while we left to visit Robyn’s sister Mar- lene Wigzell, a past member, in Bridgewater. It was an enjoyable run, and we are sure our Club Captain Edd Gray was having a good laugh around a swimming pool in Cairns, at the thought of snding 30 of his “FRIENDS’ on a run to the Hills, in the rain, in June! Seriously, thanks for an enjoyable run Edd. Woodside, June 2010, and a red Zephyr Robyn, John & Beau Sommers.
