March 2024 – Bene Aged Care

Well today was like no other that I have experienced.

We started the day with everyone spot on time (except for me who ran 2 minutes late).

When I arrived I was greeted with the usual banter from a handful of members that one can expect when you are the last one to arrive, but it was all done in a friendly and courteous manner.

We chatted briefly while the guests from Bene Aged Care gathered to the tune of James Bond playing on one of their carers phone.

It really did make the day for so many of the residents as they associate our marques with James Bond.  There were 45 in all that came out to see our cars.

We were treated to coffee and cakes and spent a good hour and a half watching the smiles and happiness on the faces of the residents.

We then commenced our run to the Uraidla Hotel and enjoyed a beautiful lunch under the canopy of the beer garden.

I would personally like to thank Neville and Sally Clarke, Harley and Annette Cooke, Bob Crosby, Tom Hutchinson and John Hendrickson for taking time out of their day to attend. It was so gratifying those that attended decided to make it an annual affair.

The happiness it brought made it all worthwhile,
