Pub to Pub, 2025

AAC DP led the organisation and running of the 2025 Pub to Pub event held on August 2.

96 competitors enjoyed a marvellous groomed trail, with many also enjoying an afternoon at the High Plains Hotel afterwards. 5 members represented the lodge, some skiing for the first time in an event of this kind. Thanks to John Lamb, Sue Clutterbuck, Neil Clutterbuck and Ray Thornhill for helping to make this a great success.

Thanks also to Wangaratta Ski Club for assistance on the day, and AJAYS for generation donation of prizes

AAC races, 2024

The AAC races between the 5 member lodges were cancelled in 2024 because of lack of snow.

Pub to Pub, 2024

The Pub to Pub cross-country race, from outside the General in Hotham to the primary school at Dinner Plain was run in fair to good snow. AAC Dinner Plain had 4 participants, plus Rod's grandson visiting from Canada. Over 100 people attended lunch at the Dinner Plain Hotel, completing the pub to pub "requirement" of the race.

Results (of the race, not lunch) can be found here.

Future of the Pub to Pub race

Mick Sinclair, who has been the heart and soul of the iconic Pub to Pub XC race, will not be continuing his efforts beyond 2024,

The Board of AAC Dinner Plain is working with Mick to ensure that this race does not disappear from the calendar. We are looking for volunteers from the membership to assist with this. Watch this space for further news.
