Angela's Picnic - 6 April 2014

Angela`s Picnic on Sunday 6^th April. Really could not have wished for better weather, although a bit overcast and windy early in the morning soon turned into a lovely autumn’s day.

Well done SAMCA for yet another well organised and worthy day, the proceeds of which are given to Hospice. There was an excellent turn-out, one of the best I have ever witnessed in many years. There were some many cars on display ,that it was difficult to view every car there. They were all there, clean and sparkling, from the little Messerschmitt , VW Splitties and beetles ,Mini`s MGs, to the Bentleys and Rolls Royce to the supercars. Some Vintage and some Modern. Definitely something for everyone to see. A bit on the down side, although Delta Park is a designated fire free zone, there were a few people who still insist on having open braai fires, close to all these beautiful and probably irreplaceable cars. 

Thanks to our Mazda MX5 members who arrived and displayed the support against Cancer, proudly displaying their Lilac ribbons in support.

The MX5 club had a Mad Hatters theme and we had some really imaginative hats in our “Mad Hatters Competition “, but ultimately it was Michelle and Scott who prevailed. Well done you two!

Thanks to Carin for creating some cute Bunnies with Easter Eggs for our members - they were much appreciated.

Here are just a few pics of the day -

MX5 Run - Fun & Games at Reading Country Club - 9 March 2014

Fun & Games yes indeed, that is what it was! The participants drew coloured ribbons from an envelope and were divided into four teams, Blue, Red, Green and Yellow.   The format was ten games consisting of a Word game, Pictionary, Charades, Memory Game, Clay modelling, Car Quiz, Music Quiz, 30 Seconds, Taste &Smell &Touch Game, and an Activity Game.

Those were the games and the absolute fun was provided by the participants. The winners were the Yellow Team with a narrow one point win over the Green Team, followed by the Blue Team and in last place the Red Team. It must be noted that the Red Team were a player short and battled on gamely, thanks Reds for your gamesmanship despite being a player short .

The final score looked like this:

	Blue Team		Red Team	Green Team	Yellow Team
Word Game	59		47	50	63
Pictionary	4		4	10	4
Charades	4		4	4	4
Modelling Clay	6		8	8	8
Car Quiz	12		5	10	11
Music Quiz	1		13	9	8
30 Seconds	2		4	8	5
Memory Test	13		12	17	14
Taste,smell,touch	9		10	6	9
Activity Game	6		0	6	3
	116	107		128	129

The venue at Reading Country Club was fantastic, thanks to Chris van der Merwe for arranging the venue – much appreciated.  Reading provided an excellent meal and was enjoyed by all.  We also had a visiting couple from the Triumph Club, and they were visibly impressed by the camaraderie and gamesmanship within the MX5 Club. As has been the case over the last few weeks, we were in for a heavy downpour, and thus we waited for the deluge to end. The next round of fun & games started as we tried to take the cars over the river like exit. The MX5`s performed gamely and would have been up to the challenge of most 4x4`s.
