Wildflower Run
Centrepoint Midland
08:30 – 14:30
Arrive at Centrepoint Midland for a 8:30 am departure. We have two wildflower stops and over 200 km to go before we stop for lunch in Goomalling, so we need to get away early. We then head north along Great Northern Highway before turning off towards Calingiri and then stopping at the Rica Erickson nature reserve. ETA 10 am so we will stop for morning tea here. No services near here so this is a bring your own. A cake will be provided but you will need to bring your own cups and a thermos if you have one. We have a spare thermos for those that don't. We will also bring some tea, coffee and milk. If you want to sit you will need to bring your own chair. I checked out this location last weekend and the spider orchids are huge.
Then we will head off to Wongan Hills via Calingiri. There are some public toilets in Calingiri if required. Next stop Wongan Hills. The orchids are not as spectacular here this year but there are many other species in flower. A guided walk along the powerline will be provided. Then next stop the Goomalling Tavern. ETA 1:15 pm. Lunch service closes at 2 pm. Here is the menu. To help them provide all our meals before 2 pm please send your orders to Neville before Wednesday, 18th September.

This is a 450km run with 2000 metres of elevation change designed to stretch your SAAB's legs and clean out the injectors.

The route will take us through Bullsbrook and then along Julimar road to Toodyay.
Then we'll be on the open road through the early wild flowers and canola blossoms to Dowerin.
About fifteen kilometers outside Dowerin, we'll turn south to arrive in Cunderdin at about 11:30pm, where we can stretch our legs and spend an hour or so at the No. 3 Pump Station Museum. Refreshments are available locally, but you may want to bring along your own snack.

37th Annual British Car Day in Gingin
Centrepoint Midland
09:00 – 15:00
We will meet at Centrepoint Midland at 9:00am for a 9:30 departure to Gingin - a straight run north.
Detailed arrangements for the day will be discussed at our next meeting and the event will be updated.
Be kind. On the way, you may see some classics from the West Midlands on the roadside with owners peering into the engine bays. Now, they may be admiring the Lucas electrics or the vapour-locked SU, but just in case they're not, stop and offer them a ride to Gingin.
There are plenty of potential SAAB enthusiasts out there. They just need to be shown the way.
