Observation Rally - Sunday June 29

FASTXR · 26-05-2008, 11:34 PM

Dust off your road maps and sharpen up your observation skills - the 2008 Observation Rally is being held on Sunday June 29.

These events have always been a heap of fun, combining driving, running around like a maniac and the chance to win great prizes! Basically, you follow a set course around Canberra and search for clues along the way - the team with the most correct answers at the end is the winner. We'll have prizes for first, second and third places and there'll be a BBQ lunch at the finish.

DATE: Sunday June 29
START LOCATION: Black Mountain Peninsular. Get there at 10am - the first car will head off at 10.30
FINISH LOCATION: ???
DURATION: Approx 2.5 hours

Its quite compact... Not alot of km to travel.... nobody should get lost but if you do you can ask a policeman as you may come across a few of these...

It would be nice to get a good group of members to attend this event as their have been a couple of the events committee put a fair bit of effort into organizing the run.

I will be attending the event but not doing the run. ( as I have already tested it )

I'll be in Sydney that weekend I'm afraid. Was keen for it before the date was moved.

Hardly! Jack will be the brightest one in the car, and he'll probably be asleep!

Keep the replies coming in - would be great to get a few more cars along, if for no other reason than to keep Vic out of the prizes!

That was a really good run, enjoyed the day and t'was great to catch up with you all. Many thanks to Richard, Nic and Glenn for getting the day organised and underway.

genebaby · 30-06-2008, 05:18 PM

Was a really good day, even though I didn't win. Each year I think "this will be my year", but it's not to be. Thank you guys for the organisation.

You could hold your own event Vic and not tell anyone else - you'd cleanup then.

On a serious note, I missed another event so any pics of the day?

FASTXR · 04-07-2008, 08:52 PM

Congratulations to our rally winners:

1st - Chris, Janice and team
2nd - Pat, Sharon and team
3rd - Karen, Brent and Jack

I think everyone had a good time and hopefully saw a few bits of Canberra they hadn't seen before!

A few pics of the day (thanks Jim!):
