Due to the SH 6 closure, we will run separate Christmas events in the Nelson and Marlborough regions... 

Our last run for the year for Nelsonians will start from the Richmond NMIT carpark , travelling for approximately one hour on backcountry roads before arriving at the Gravity Winery (243 Old Coach Road,Mahana) for lunch at around 1230. Wine tastings are an optional extra. 

Nelsonians will meet at the NMIT Carpark around 1100 for 1115 departure. Route will be advised at the meeting point.  The restaurant has asked for a prebooking of meal choices as the Christmas period puts their kitchen under extra pressure.   

For Blenheimers,  the drive will be along SH1 to The Store at Kekerengu, (5748 State Highway 1, Kekerengu), approximately 50 minutes drive to the South of Blenheim.  The Store is not requesting pre-orders from their menu.   

Blenheimers will meet at the Westmeats Carpark on the corner of Alabama Road and SH 1, 1100 for 1115 departure.  Our route will be SH1 to Seddon, Ward and Kekerengu.  After lunch you can explore the beach area,  the small community behind the Store, or head further South to the Seal Colony lookouts south of the Clarence Bridge. 

What you need to bring:  

  • Money for lunch  
  • Lighter clothing if it is a hot sunny day (some shade will be available) 
  • Hats and sunscreen. 

This event will be pay as you go therefore there is no need to book online with the Porsche Club, however, Nelsonians do need to advise their organisers (Paul Heywood, (paulcoral@xtra.co.nz) and Mark Randall, (mjr993@me.com ).  Please register by email ASAP with your menu choices.  

 Knowing the numbers for lunch is helpful, so please register by 12:00, Thursday 08 December 2022 

For Blenheimers,  Please advise Andrew (apanderson@hotmail.com ) of the names of those attending by email.  

Closing date for entries will be midday Thursday 08 December 2022
