Bug Jam 2005
 
     
  Michael Cheetham volunteered to plan and run this cruise, picking up on the image of the events of the same name overseas. Jan 16th turned out to be a perfect day for a run - 25 degrees and a pleasant breeze.
 

T-shirts and stickers were handed out to drivers as they checked in at the Plane Tree Dve kick off point. The cars headed off at 10:15 am on the run to Belair National Park. Road works on North Tce and slow traffic lights made the run through the city a bit tedious but at least we were out and we were in VW's at that. Once we hit ANZAC Highway the pace picked up and it seemed to take no time to reach the Bay (Glenelg).

 

After looping around Colley Tce the 15 car convoy cruised the length of Jetty Rd. Not many things were moving at this time of day so those who were around certainly took notice. From there it was on to Brighton Rd and from there to Daws Rd. Here the group reassembled after being separated by those infernal traffic lights before starting off again for Belair Rd.

 

On arrival at Belair, the cars were parked around the perimeter of the main oval. Once the club banner was erected and the BBQ set up things really started cooking...Picnic baskets, shade tents and eskies were the order of the day.

 

The atmosphere was relaxed and jovial as members mingled and checked out each other's cars. A real highlight for attendees were the Bug-Jam T-shirts printed by Michael - they ROCKED.

 

Belair proved itself as an excellent venue for a cruise. Thanks to the Belair National Park staff for their co-operation. Next year, we hope for an even larger crowd.
