Christmas in July
preceded by a morning drive

Let's get into the spirit of Christmas in July with a lunch at Russo Estate Winery
in Diggers Rest, 35 minutes from Melbourne CDB
Lunch is at 1.00pm
Lunch is 2 course, which will be main and dessert, plus soft drinks and coffee.
Alcoholic drinks are at individual cost on the day.
Bring your best Christmas outfits or jumpers! There will be a contest and (small) prizes for the most remarkable outfits.
Prior to lunch, we'll enjoy a drive through scenic countryside and a few winding roads.
There will be two starting points: one in the Geelong area, and one in the Outer East of Melbourne. These drives will meet up in Woodend for the final drive together to Russo Estate.
(This takes inspiration from the original social car rallies, where people would start from several locations and rally together at a meeting point before joining the final part of the drive together. Of course, we will be sticking to ordinary, bitumen roads as usual!)
Registration closes strictly on Friday 20 June 2025.
Starting location details and DRIVE INSTRUCTIONS
WILL BE SENT OUT IN THE FINAL REMINDER EMAIL.
The Drive will also use the TourBoss App. Please ensure you have this downloaded to your phone, and confirm your attendance in the APP
so that you receive your phone navigation instructions.
We highly recommend you have a UHF radio with you on all our drives. We will be on channel 17. or as advised on the day. If you are wanting to pre purchase a radio kit, please click here to place your order.

Lunch, soft drinks and coffee are prepaid with your registration.
Alcoholic drinks and all other costs are yours on the day.
