The big news in December is that we will be driving the LA Galaxy soccer team around Melbourne. The question on everyone’s lips is whether David Beckham will be on the coach or does he get his own personal limousine. Stay tuned for the answer!
Melbourne Hearts had a couple of wins in the last month. We are a superstitious lot and were thinking that the coach driver influenced the result of the game. Hence we put different drivers for these games, namely Bill Bisland and David Turner and they got the boys over the line. The moral of the story is that drivers are very important.
Ventura is again sponsoring Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight. We transport the choirs to and from the Myer Music Bowl. The choirs have a sing a long on the coach and the sound is fantastic. Our thanks go to our volunteer drivers: Andrew Deriboklou, Andrew Fairhall, Mark Holley and Steve Harris.
Thanks also go to the Monbulk drivers for coming to the rescue of Sports Victoria. Sports Victoria thought they had a booking with a rival bus company but neither the booking nor the buses could be found. Monbulk drivers provided the service and Sports Victoria said they will be booking with us in the future.
A couple of the tours this month were to Castlemaine and Earimil Gardens in Mt Eliza. The Castlemaine tour visited the Castlemaine Gallery, Botanical Gardens and the Buda Historic Home and Garden. For you history buffs, the Earimil Gardens displays the 1956 Melbourne Olympics diving board. It also has beautiful gardens and many other interesting displays.
