Drive Days – we have booked accommodation for three nights (November 13 – 15) at RACV Cape Schanck, and have designed some great drives along the backroads of the Mornington Peninsula. This event is limited to 50 people, with payment required in advance, as detailed below. A booklet with full details will be mailed to all participants, but the program outline is as follows:

Tuesday, 14 November: after breakfast, a drive to Trofeo Estate for a two-course lunch. A scenic drive back to the RACV, and opportunity for an afternoon walk to the Cape Schanck lighthouse. Free evening, noting that the RACV’s bar and restaurant are open if you want to stay within the resort.
Wednesday, 15 November: after breakfast, we will leave for a tour of the National Trust-listed McRae Homestead, then on for a casual lunch at the Royal Hotel in Mornington. In the afternoon, we will visit Charlie’s Auto Museum and then return to RACV Cape Schanck for a farewell dinner.

The Display will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Food, drinks and Maserati Days merchandise will be available to purchase.
Reg Hunt Dinner – our annual tribute to our Club’s Founding Patron, the late Reg Hunt, will be held this year on Saturday 2 December in the Pavilion Room at the RACV Club, Melbourne. The evening will begin at 6.30 p.m. with pre-dinner drinks and canapes, followed by a three-course dinner and a speech by our special guest Tim Schenken, former F1 and sports car driver.
