A good turnout from Perth and Albany to go and catch up and have
a good night at the Newdegate pub. The weather was fine until
Jerramungup after that it got colder and we had some rain.
We had our morning-tea break at Amelup and some had lunch in
Jerramungup and others had a bite to eat in Ravensthorpe. After
that via Lake King to Newdegate. It was so good to stop and get
warm in the pub and have a hot chocolate to warm up.
We had a meal in the dining room and settled in to catch up with
Perth members and locals. John and Louise had a fun game
organized, picking up a cereal box with your teeth without using
your hands. Bit tricky, some of the locals tried very hard too
and we were surprised at the efforts of some people. Amazing how
flexible some of them are.
Frozen white seats in the morning, it had been minus 3 at night
and we were all keen for hot coffee/tea. Ronnie and the owner of
the pub did a great job cooking us bacon and eggs.
A very nice and sunny but cool ride back home. Bob and Chris
followed in the car and we had some stops along the way. Heard
lots of positive stories about the evening so maybe we could go
there again!

The call came in from The Newdegate Pub,
We’ve got good cold beer and lots of grub.
From Albany and Perth they came,
You could tell they were there by the noise
they made,
As well as by the games they played.
The local gals joined in to give the boys a run,
But their bits stayed in just to spoil the fun.
The night was well done with a good breakfast
well run.
The ice in the morning was not well received,
But with a good hot coffee we were well relieved.
On the road we headed into the sun,
A good night out and lots of fun.
