Suzuki 4wd Club Victoria Annual Trip #4 – Suzuki Club Christmas Party and Suzuki Club Christmas DinnerTrip FactsSometimes it can be nice to talk to other club members face to face instead of over a cb radio, and what better time to get together than just before Christmas.
The Suzuki Club has run a social weekend of camping for many years, and this has always been quite popular with club members. However, in today’s social climate, we realise that the rustic charm of burnt sausages and mosquitos may not appeal to all members, so this year we also had the inaugural Christmas Dinner.
Christmas Camping Trip:
The Christmas Camp is typically run over a weekend in December (Saturday and Sunday), with a Saturday night BBQ, followed by a short day drive on the Sunday.
Christmas Dinner:
The inaugural Christmas Dinner was run on a Friday night in December. There was no driving involved.
Trip Location and Accommodation Christmas Camping Trip:
Previous Christmas Trips have been held at various camp grounds within a short drive of Melbourne (i.e. Wombat State Forest, or the township of Rubicon). Chosen locations are likely to have basic amenities.
Christmas Dinner:
The Christmas Dinner will be located based on member interest. A central location with public transport and/or taxi facilities is preferable.
Trip StandardsThe Camping and Dinner are more about socializing than driving. They provide an opportunity to bring along better halves, and discuss topics other than Suzukis – i.e. Nissans or Subarus.
The Sunday Day Drive on the Camping Trip is likely to be rated easy-medium.
