SUNDAY OUTING 19TH MARCH: MASAI OSTRICH FARM

In spite of the lack of a Newsflash (a committee oversight!) the Sunday Outing to Masai Ostrich Farm was one of the best supported Club events for some time. Over sixty members and guests attended and a free lunch was given to thirteen members with classic cars including no less than five from Johnny Wroe's stable (the International, two Ford A's, a Ford V8 and the Jeep). Though Johnny was unable to attend, his support was much appreciated. Also present was Roger Tanner's ex-Guy D'Olier Rolls, Andreas Munden's Jaguar 420G, Anil Pandit's BMW obruT S00S (that's what's written on the front!), Ollie Keeble's nearly as old as him Land Rover, J-P's Ford Zodiac, Joe Sardelli's Fiat and Manjit Singh's Peugeot 203. The outing started with participants gathering at the usual meeting place, the Esso Petrol Station on Limuru Road, and after receiving route notes they followed simple directions and answered questions on the way to the Farm. The results of the Quiz are: 1 Alec Davis, 2 Jai Pandit and Maggy and Pierre Parsons, 3 Roger Tanner and Mike Tilley, 4 Sailesh Pandit, Giovanni Sardelli and J-P, 5 Nitin Pandit, 6 Arun Pandit 7 and last Dr. Adalja. Many thanks to Brian and Penny Nicol for preparing the quiz. On arrival members relaxed by the pool, went on a tour of the farm and simply enjoyed an excellent quality and value lunch. The management were very welcoming and even advertised our presence on Capital Radio! Apart from preparing the Quiz, Brian and Penny also organised the rest of the event, though unfortunately due to other commitments were unable to attend. Thanks again to them, and also to Mike Tilley who organised the start. The event was certainly successful with no reported road incidents and appeared to be much enjoyed by all who attended.
