2015 Peugeot Pageant
17 April 2015 - 20 April 2015
The Peugeot Association of Canberra is hosting this annual gathering of Peugeot enthusiasts from around Australia in 2015.
The Pageant will be held in Yass, NSW, from Friday 17 to Monday 20 April 2015, two weekends AFTER Easter.
The historic town of Yass, some 50 km north of Canberra, just off the Hume Highway, offers a range of accommodation options and potentially interesting activities for participants. A highlight of the weekend will be a visit to the Binalong Car Museum, which houses a small but eclectic collection of cars including Bugatti and Delarge.
The weekend program will broadly follow the successful format of previous pageants:
FRIDAY: Registration at Swaggers Motor Inn, from 2 pm onwards, including car grooming in preparation for the concours. Pre-dinner drinks in the courtyard, followed by dinner in town.
SATURDAY: The day will kick off with a concours d’elegance in Banjo Paterson Park, Yass (subject to council approval). We hope that the Yass mayor will accept our invitation to present the prizes. After a picnic lunch in the park, we will head to Jeir Creek Winery, near Murrumbateman, for driving skills/motorkhana activities. Non-driving pageanteers will be able to tour the vineyard and taste the wines. Winery owner, Rob Howell, is also a motoring enthusiast and owns a lovely Citroen Light 15 (Traction Avant) as well as an MG TF and an MGA. The day will finish with dinner at the Yass Golf Club.
SUNDAY: In the morning there will be an observation run to Binalong, with lunch in Binalong. In the afternoon we will visit the Binalong car museum and Peter Minson Art Glass. In the evening, a presentation dinner, featuring local wines, will be held at the Swaggers Motor Inn.
MONDAY: Farewell breakfast at Swaggers Motor Inn.
We will be using the Swaggers Motor Inn as our home base in Yass, but there are other nearby motels and a caravan park just a few hundred metres away. All 30 rooms at the Swaggers have been reserved for the Pageant for 3 nights (Fri, Sat, Sun), at a daily rate of $120/room including cooked breakfast and free internet. The heavily discounted room rate is an excellent deal, because some rooms can accommodate up to 6 people! Accommodation is the responsibility of pageant participants and bookings can be made by ringing (02) 6226-9900 and make sure that you mention the Peugeot Pageant. Our hosts, Gene and Tony Bernar, are motoring enthusiasts themselves, so they are very understanding of our needs.
