24 Guests from all over the country enjoyed another great weekend at the
Clipsal 500 in March. On Friday Builders and Distributors alike had the
opportunity to sample one of Australia's premier golf courses -- Kooyonga
Golf Club. People couldn't speak highly enough of the fantastic course
condition, it was a shame the golf scores didn't do it credit. A little
bloke from Canberra, Marcus Sheridan -- Bryan Sheridan Garage Doors ACT did
however manage to string together a fine individual round to take out the
inaugural Gliderol Cup, he was closely followed by our own General Manager
-- Ben Lumbers whom failed to pip him at
the post. The team event was comfortably won by the Henley Homes composite
consisting of Doug Stevens -- Henley SA, Paul Roots -- Plantation Homes QLD,
Peter Carroll -- Plantation Homes QLD and our own Barry Walton -- Gliderol
SA.
A group dinner was enjoyed Friday night a one of Adelaide's most renowned
Hotels -- The Edinburgh Hotel -- Mitcham. It was here that several people
had the opportunity to sample one of Australia's best eating fish the SA
King George Whiting and judging from the remarks after the meal they
certainly were not disappointed.
For Saturday and Sunday it was of to the racetrack whereby we witnessed a
dominant display of driving by Marcus Ambrose in a Ford Falcon. Guests
enjoyed the fantastic vantage point for viewing the race from the Gliderol
Pit and stand Straight Suite and each race was not without its share of
spills and thrills.
All in all it was a fantastic weekend for those involved and credit must go
the event organisers for making the Clipsal 500 one of, the if not the
premier motor racing event in Australia.
