This is a brand new event put together by a 100point francophile… Clement Dubuisson, who in the years since the Club was last at Gembrook in June 2008, has moved into the shop beside the Motorist’s Museum and opened a small business selling local produce and wants to expand interest in the local area by organising this event. Yes, it’s an event as well as a picnic because Clement has organised an ice cream vendor, a crepe maker, cheese tasting and wine tasting as well as a local boulangerier who will have a selection of pain du France [have I got that right Suzanne Smith?]. Our friends at CCCV have also been invited and as there will be none but Citroëns at the event we could almost have another concours! The day has a charitable purpose as Clement hopes to raise donations for the Red Cross… perhaps we should persuade Clement to call it the Red Chevron Day?
