We hope you won't be driving through rain or even snow, but wrap up well for yet another annual Winter Run and High Tea! So, if you'd like to enjoy a late afternoon/evening run in your favourite VCC car followed by a nice dinner with friends and like-minded enthusiasts, you need to get the entry form in straight away, as entries will definitely close on 12th July.

The Winter Run will be an easy navigational run with a fun competition element thrown in. We will start at Cutler Park at 4.00pm. The run will be approximately 50km long and will finish at a popular eatery to the West of Christchurch for dinner.

Vehicles used must be club-eligible – no moderns please. Note that it will be winter, and it may be dark before you arrive at the finish venue, so please ensure lights and wipers are in good working order before you leave home. A working heater might be a bonus too.

You must have a navigator. You will also need a smart phone to take with you on the day. There will be places you need to photograph on your phone along my way, and also solve a cryptic phrase and answer some questions to be in to win the fun prizes at the location of the High Tea. There will also be a prize for the best dressed couple, dressed in the style and/or period of their car (this is optional).

Entry Fee is $10.00 to cover the cost of prizes, and it will be your responsibility to pay for your own dinner at the finish venue (as a guide, allow about $50 per person to cover food and drinks).

Entry is strictly limited to 30 cars or 60 people, whichever comes first (you're very welcome to fill your car with friends or family). Entries must be completed on-line (if you cannot manage this, please contact me and I will arrange it for you). As mentioned above, please note that no late entries will be accepted, as numbers for the dinner will need to be confirmed one week before the event. Entries close on Sunday 12th July.
