The ‘Goldfields Alfa Group’, in association with AROCA (Vic), present the 2018 ‘Grampians Gallivant’.
This year’s Weekend Alfa Tour of the picturesque Halls Gap and Grampians region will be held from Friday 9th of November to Sunday 11th of November. The plan is to stay in Halls Gap for either two or three nights, and to have our day Alfa drives leave from this central starting point.
This Tour is strictly limited to 20 Alfas only. Following the success of our inaugural event last year, there has already been a great deal of enthusiastic response with now only 4 spots left before it is fully subscribed. I will, however once it is filled, place any extra enquires on a ‘waiting list’ in case someone pulls out at a later date.
If you are interested, and wish to participate in this Alfa weekend, please contact Leon Cottle ASAP, either by e-mail: goldfieldschapter@alfaclubvic.org.au or via my
Mobile No. 0407 680 384 to secure your booking, or for further information about this year’s Grampians Alfa Tour.
Many Thanks.
