Sprite Run to Mannum on Sunday 21st September

What happens when owners of a Spridget, an MGBGT-Sprite, an Alfa-Sprite, an MG Magnet- Sprite and a Clubman-Sprite get together for a Sprite Run, on a perfectly beautiful Sunday in September ….. a lot of fun, that’s what!

After meeting at the Mt Barker Homemaker Centre- a navigational challenge for the Magnet; a pit stop in Nairne for an over committed Clubman (three functions in one day) we toured through great springtime scenery to Mannum- a route including challenging corners, sweeping bends and long straights- well planned by Peter and Ros.

We were greeted at the lunch destination by another couple who announced themselves as “someone’s nephew.” After some tactful investigation Mary discovered the “someone” belonged to a different club, which was also booked in for lunch. We invited them to join, in fact sign up immediately, but although they liked our friendly approach declined the offer. In the confusion of two clubs in one pub the other club had their booking cancelled!

Anyway we all had an abundant lunch (great salad and vegetable bar) looking out over the Mighty Murray. A stroll up the main street and excellent coffee al fresco at an old stone bank building completed the day.

Thanks to Peter and Ros, Ken and Mary, Gary and Faye, and Paul for a lovely day.
