1st February 2009 - "Galaxy of Cars" at Motat, Meola Rd. 2008 was our Club's best showing to date with 40 cars displayed. We collected prizes for both second "Best Car Club Display" and second "Best Presented Car". This year we want to step up to take the top prize in each catagory. This is a fun family day and well worth making the effort. We invite our Midland members to join us.

8 February 2009 - Concours Event.

22 March 2009 - at 10.30am sharp. $2.00 entry fee per competitor, for $200 + worth of fun. Test yourself and your Mercedes-Benz in a safe environment. Suitable for all aged family members – but strictly Mercedes-Benz cars only (sorry)! Some simple courses will be laid out on the grass with plastic marker posts, which you negotiate individually, against the clock. Penalties are incurred for touching the plastic markers, etc. The paddock is soft and grassy and does not harm your car. A chance to refresh your skills of driving on a slippery surface or to teach those who are unfamiliar with this type of driving hazard. This is a real must, fun event. Bring your Mercedes and join us at this private venue which we are very fortunate to have been made available to us. The farm is at 233 Logan Road, Pukekohe, off Harrisville Road. Ph Brian Hood (09) 634 3573 or Ken Williams (09) 579 9395 and let us know if you are going to be joining us.
