Lunch (Soup, bread & salad or Chicken Cassoulet & salad) at the Laguna Trading Post will be a set price of $22 per head (payable to Club prior to event).

The Club dinner will be afterwards in the dining room at Monte Pio.
The dinner will be a carvery buffet at a set price of $45 per head (payable to Club prior to event).
Members must book their own accommodation at Monte Pio in advance. Rooms are set aside for Club members but you must book quickly. Please advise them that you are with the VSCCA Club event. Also, advise any dietary requirements at time of booking.

Breakfast is available at Monte Pio at additional cost. However, as the rally’s Sunday morning return route starts at the nearby historic town of Morpeth, participants can have breakfast there instead. It’s up to you.

NOTE:
The aim of the organisers is to stay off high speed, main and busy roads. The route notes will specify some roads with dirt sections - none rough or too long - but expect either dust or mud. There are always macadamed alternatives to the same places. It's up to you.
