Thursday 3 October Coffee Run
Artisan of Australia Art Gallery and Café,
1475 Portarlington Rd Curlewis, (on the recommendation of a member). Cakes and scones availa-ble!!!! Around 10 am at the venue or meet at the Clubrooms for a 9.45am departure. The entrance is a bit tricky: you need to be in the left lane and move into the emergency lane when you see the “60 ahead” sign. The entrance is at the end of the tin fence. The venue is back before the first set of traffic lights into Drysdale. ie. where the speed drops from 80 to 60. Be safe. In addition to the coffee run there is the opportunity to visit Greg’s place to see his items for sale, (see Page 15). We will aim to be there from 11.30am, with the option to have lunch there. BYO lunch & chair, with tea and coffee available.
