Morris Elite Raffle draw
2019-11-30 13:00 - 17:00
Morris Car Club Raffle Update
The Club still has a number of tickets to sell in the raffle for the Morris Major. We had hoped to have sold more tickets at Motorclassica than we did. Ticket sales have remained steady but have fallen short of what we would want.
The draw date will now be 30 November at the Club’s Christmas function. The draw will be recorded and uploaded to the web site if possible. The draw will be conducted by people that have not purchased a ticket.
I would like to thank you in advance for your support with the raffle and to assure you that November 30 will be the cut off regardless.
The Federation has graciously allowed us to sell raffle tickets at the Bendigo Swap Meeting on 16 November. I am hopeful that the opportunity will provide us with the chance to realise the benefits the Club has worked so hard to achieve.
Kind regards,

Stephen Whitworth
President
Morris Car Club of Victoria

Ten-Pin Bowling, Sunday June 9

It’s on again, the annual ten-pin bowling interclub challenge; the MCCV against the Rootes Group Club. I might mention that we lost badly last year so we might need to train for this comp, or maybe just ‘will’ the ball to go straight! Personally, I will need the bumper rails up as last time that’s where 10% of my balls went – straight down the gutter!
We will be having lunch after the comp at a restaurant in the Watergardens Shopping Centre, a short walk from the bowling alley.
Where: Zone Bowling, 399 Melton Highway, Taylors Lakes. Melways 13 E1
Meet at the venue. 10.30AM

This is a joint event for Motafrenz and the Morris Car Club. Brett had a lot to do with both these clubs and is remembered fondly for his contributions and outstanding character.
This is a lovely drive and we’ll all be able to relax in a lovely pub overlooking the wonderful serenity of the lake. There is plenty of room there.
Please let us know if you’re coming so we have a good idea of numbers. Bring your favourite vehicle, friends and good cheer.
This car is suitable for all cars, but as we all know, Brett would have liked to see as many classics as possible. You can even ask somebody you know if you could ride in their classic along with them and leave your car at the meeting place.
All the roads are sealed and the drive is both on freeway and good quality bitumen roads.
Pets are welcome as long as they are on leads.
The only cost is for lunch and refreshments of your choice.

Bungal outing
2019-03-16
Bungal outing Saturday 16th March 2019
Today we are off To Bungal
Where or what is Bungal you might well ask? No, it’s not a town, it is a place, although I suspect it might have been a town a long time ago, as gold was discovered in 1853 at nearby Mt Egerton. Bungal is only a few kilometres down the road so could well have been a gold mining settlement. Today, Bungal is open fields and picturesque rolling hills, situated neatly between Ballan and Geelong. We will be going to the property of a fellow car collector for a self-catered BBQ. He also has a race track on the property with a lap record, so if you wish to try and beat the record that is up to you… it’s not compulsory. There is also a great collection of British cars.
Meeting Point – Rock Bank BP Mc Donald’s
9.30 To be on the road by 10am
Distance – 72 Kilometre’s
Time – 1hour 10 minutes
I might also add that this area is quite hilly. The route chosen is on sealed secondary roads with three reasonable hills, but with a bit of gearbox use should not pose a problem. Andrew Read is my partner in the planning of this trip.

Family fun day

Sunday 17th February, 2019
Today we are off to Diamond Valley miniature railway. Today is one for the kids and kids at heart, so give the classics a rest today and put the children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren in the modern car and join in the fun. Anybody two to eighty-two will enjoy this place! It is situated in Eltham Park and onsite there are BBQs, Shetland pony rides, an adventure playground, and the miniature railway. And for those wanting a peaceful walk, yes, you can have that as well.

Train Rides are $3 a ride per person for a 15 minute ride, which takes you right around the park. There are many different trains – steam, diesel, locomotives, and passenger electrics -so one ride might not be enough. There is no food onsite to buy so this is definitely self-catered BBQ or picnic.
Meeting Time 10.15am. Place 570 Main RD Eltham
Bring food, bevridges, chairs, and picnic rugs.
