Convertibles Rally

Once again members of Women in Racing made their convertible cars available for the annual Convertible Rally that raised a significant amount of money for charity.

The rally started off from Peter and Wanda's beautiful house in Duffy.  The azaleas were in full bloom, and the weather was unexpectedly perfect, given the previous few days of wind and drizzle. 

The event started with drinks at the house as people arrived for the outing.  At about 10am we headed off in a convoy that progressively broke up as each set of traffic lights seemed to separate the cars.  We had a beautiful drive south; the sun was shining and the landscape was still green.

We stopped for a quick morning tea, and then headed into Breadbo.  Some headed off to the investigate the classic architecture of the local pub, while others walked down to the Christmas Barn.
It was years since I was last there, and I was surprised at how well it was organised and how pleasant it was to browse.

Some of our WiR members organised lunch at the local community hall having brought all the food and drink from Canberra. So we arrived there to find it set up for an elaborate picnic lunch.

After a sumptuous lunch, we jumped into our cars for the trip back to Canberra.

A slideshow of the day is below.   If you can't see the slideshow, click here.

Thank you to Wanda and all the other volunteers to made it such an enjoyable day.
