Ray Hoey weekend at Dunkeld
1 November 2014 - 4 November 2014
Make sure you don’t miss a great club event on the Melbourne Cup weekend in November. It is the Ray Hoey weekend, which in the past has been held in Gippsland, where Ray lived and worked, but this year it is at Dunkeld in the beautiful Grampians.
Club stalwarts Les and Lenie Jennings are organising the event.
A convoy will leave Melbourne on the Saturday morning for the run to Ararat for lunch and a look around.
After lunch we’ll head for Dunkeld, possibly calling in at lookouts and a winery or two on the way.
Dinner will be at the 109 Restaurant and the Jennings have organised to have the whole restaurant. The cost for a two-course country-style meal (with plenty of food options) is $30 plus drinks.
The Royal Mail Hotel is across the road if anyone would like to go there.
On the Sunday there are lots of things to see in the Grampians area, including volcanic sites and a motoring museum.
Les is happy to show us over his farm, where Peugeot people have had fun in the past, such as on the Ampol Rerun.
The Old Dunkeld Bakery is organised for Sunday night for a French dinner (cooked by French chefs). It is a main, a sweet and a hot drink for $37 per person. We require confirmation of numbers by 10 October as this is a special request for the Bakery to open on the Sunday night for the Peugeot club. The Bakery is normally closed on Sundays.
On your way home on the Monday you can visit two historic mansions, Narrapuumelap near Lake Bolac and Mooramong near Skipton.
For anyone staying on Monday night Lenie and Les have plenty of options for you or will be able to assist if there are any requests about the local area.
Accommodation is filling up quickly so please make your arrangements as soon as possible. There are still B&Bs available in and near Dunkeld. Please contact the Jennings if you require help and Hamilton is 33km away with a large range of motels.
The Jennings would appreciate people letting them know what arrangements are made and who is coming so the activities can be arranged. Could we please ask if people attending could email lesj@citstraining.com.au and they will email back options for weekend activities.
