A great weekend of motoring and social events will again be hosted by the ACT Small Ford Owners Club in Canberra over the weekend 31 October—2 November. The weekend begins on Friday evening with a Night Drive around Canberra culminating on Mt Ainslie, allowing participants to see Canberra’s highlights change from day to night.
Saturday morning starts with a big breakfast, followed by a challenging and interesting observation run, finishing with a barbeque lunch and a static display of vehicles.
Saturday night is one of the many highlights of the weekend with a dinner and trivia night. This year it will be held at The Marque on Northbourne Avenue, allowing everyone to relax, socialise and have some fun.
On Sunday participants will have earned a good sleep in before meeting for breakfast, followed by an economy run and lunch and farewells at the Gold Creek Tavern.
The event continues to grow in popularity and is now in its 9th year, with participants travelling from as far as Queensland, SA, Victoria and NSW.
This is a great opportunity to make new friends, admire and inspect all models of small fords, relax, have some fun and win some great prizes.
