It has been a very busy January in the Events department! We had our 1^st 2022 Club BBQ at McCarrs Creek on 16^th January with 75 people attending, with several new members displaying their vehicles for the 1^st time. A very enjoyable day and a big thanks to the hard working BBQ team.

Our 1^st Mid-Month Wednesday Brunch Run to the Coal Loader Café at Waverton was enjoyed by 13 people, with excellent food and a very interesting walk around the historic site, including a close up view of the sunken ferry ‘Baragoola’. 

PMEA celebrated Australia Day with 27 members enjoying beautiful surroundings with a picnic in the shaded grounds of the heritage Fagan Park at Dural.

On a lovely sunny day, our cars looked fabulous with our new windscreen banners and signs. Some members joined the vehicle parade through the grounds, following old historic tractors and farm vehicles. The historic barns were open with an amazing variety of machinery and items dating back to the early 20^th Century.

A very popular day out and we will do it again sometime next year. Can’t wait for John Kaye’s video to be shown at an upcoming meeting!
