The AMOC SA held their AGM and Xmas party at the Mount Osmond Golf Course on Sunday December 15th.
We had 28 members attend on a very warm 35 degree day which started with an observation run through the Adelaide hills leading to the lunch venue. This run was organized by Chris and Jan Barron who have prepared numerous runs for us throughout the years and have always proven to be a hit.
Being an observation run it made for some serious competition between members as the couple that answered the most questions correctly won some Aston merchandise and wine.
Richard Avard and Andrew Brown won first prize with Fred and Marina Pascale coming in a close second and third place was taken by Tom Hutchinson and John Hendrickson who all received some lovely Aston goodies.
After the run members were greeted with a welcome drink and an opportunity to relax looking over the greens of the golf course.
Xmas decorations and Bon Bons created the atmosphere for a festive and generous meal of Beef Fillet, Mashed Potato, Broccolini, Red Wine Jus and Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon, Green Beans, Spanish Onion, Walnuts, Balsamic Reduction.
Duck fat potatoes and pear and parmesan salad completed the selection.
We held a brief AGM where the new committee were elected unopposed for the coming year.
Martin Farkas Area Rep, Harley Cooke Assistant Area Rep, Cintra Amos secretary and Bitten Pedersen as treasurer.
The committee will be holding a meeting during January to set the dates for the runs through the year with the first run being Sunday, February 16th. We will be visiting “Softfoot Country” which is an Alpaca farm and has an attached restaurant called “Swagman Country Dining”.
This run is being organized by Grant and Julia White and looks like it will set the benchmark for the remaining runs for 2025.
