Sunday 21st January - Dawnbreaker Run
Our annual Dawnbreaker run - because everyone wants to get up before dawn on a Sunday to drive around madly, then meet up for breakfast.
Meet approx 5:50AM at Fred Amber lookout on Gladstone Road, Parnell -- overlooking the container wharf, same as last year. Driver's Briefing is at 6AM, first car away at 6:15AM. Bring: Pen, Clipboard, and money for breakfast (that's the first clue). Prize for best dressed Dawn-breaker - e.g. night shirt, pajamas, onesies, or dressing gown. Contact Murray 027 488 1960 for questions.
