Club Christmas Party 2017!
Saturday 9th December
Saturday 9th December
Custom Addictions will be holding their annual Club Christmas function at Big Bendi Waterslide in Jackass Flat from 11 am. A barbeque lunch with salads will be supplied, as will drinks and water for the kids and adult drinks for the bigger kids. The waterslide will be free and open all afternoon, so bring your bikini, mankini, budgie smugglers or shorts. And a towel. And a chair. And a family. It's gonna be a good afternoon.
If you still haven't had enough of us by 6pm, our Clubhouse will then be open for those that have a need to party on through the night. Don't have to go home if you don't want (or can't), just roll out the swag, tent or chuck a mattress in the back of the ute.
Hope to see everyone there!

Obviously from before I bought it. Wonder if I should be worried about having a "diff incident"? |

Here is one reason we should scrutinise Club members more closely before accepting them.... |

Apparently construction is now complete, with machinery removed and water flowing into the lake. The spillway looks quite different now, come along and check it out!

Club Cruise to Echuca Beer Shed
& Rafferty's Motor Museum.
Sunday 25th June
We've been to the Holden Museum in Echuca before, but apparently this museum is equally as good. (Probably will have less Holdens). Meet at our Clubhouse at 10am for a 10.30 departure out through Huntly to Rochester for a quick coffee break and re-group then on to the Beer Shed. We will have lunch in Echuca before re-grouping at 2pm and visiting Rafferty's Motor Museum. After the museum, you can make you own way home or we can travel back to Bendigo in a convoy.

If - like most of us - you missed the interview our Prez did on Main FM radio promoting our Show at Ravenswood Homestead, you can listen to a recording here.
|
On Saturday 20th of May, Custom Addictions held a multi-club car and bike show in the picturesque grounds of Ravenswood Homestead. Just 15 minutes south of Bendigo along the Calder freeway, this historic mansion was once a Cobb & Co stage coach overnight stop for travelers to the rich Bendigo goldfields. Now, nestled in the Bullock Creek valley, and surrounded by 500 year old river red gums, the homestead is used for functions and is a well known bed and breakfast venue in central Victoria. Until now.
After the 20th of May this location is going to be known as the Premier Car Show Venue of Central Victoria.

Some of the Events Boys hard at work plannin' the next Club Cruise.....
Logan Pub Car Show
Saturday 25th March, 2017.
This function was something a little different and a first for Custom Addictions - a camping weekend in the bush!
We will be supporting the Logan Pub Car Show with a Club cruise and overnight adventure.
Leaving from our Clubhouse at 10am we will travel up to Logan for a big afternoon and night. There will be a live band playing and you can party till late. Stay the night - lay out your swag, pitch the tent, bring the old bus if you've got one, or travel back to Bendigo Saturday night. Probably safer to stay the night, unless you have a use for squashed kangaroo on your bonnet. The Club will supply a BBQ lunch, BBQ tea and maybe bacon and eggs for breakfast on Sunday for those that stay. Obviously, being a Pub, Keith can pour a bloody good beer and cook up a steak in the kitchen like you've never seen before. The choice is yours. Apparently I'm supposed to be cooking breakfast, but just in case I don't, and you can't wait for the Pub to open, you'd better bring something to feed yourself in the morning.
All you'll need then - apart from a way of getting there - is something to sleep in, on, or under, probably a chair to sit in (maybe you could double up and sit and sleep on the chair, or under it....), some drinks of your choice, and your call on whether you bring food other than the supplied snags, hamburgers, chops and bread. Seems like a great plan for a bloody great weekend. Did I mention there is also a car show?
So bring you car, bike, truck, campervan or horse and lets make this weekend something to remember!

and Show & Shine
Sunday 12th March
Custom Addictions next Club cruise will be down to Redesdale to revisit the Bush Market. We have been invited by the organiser to park our vehicles on a grassed area for a Show & Shine, instead of just in the streets. Meet at out Clubhouse at 9:30 for an 10am departure. We will travel out along the McIvor Highway to Heathcote where we will stop and re-group before turning of the main road and cruising through the quiet countryside scaring sheep and farmers. At the Bush Market there will be stalls selling local produce - wines, olives, jams and heaps of other foods. There will also be clothing, plants hardware and bric-a-brac.
Have lunch in the Pub or relax in the gardens and watch the world go by. We will come back to Bendigo as a group or you can travel home alone when you wish. Should be a great day, hope to see you there.
