AROC SINGAPORE 2ND FAMILY WEEKEND, MALAYSIA

The ever-active members' of the Alfa Romeo Owners' Club Singapore have just held a very successful and enjoyable 2nd Family Weekend: Express di Lanjut 2009, from 6th to 8th Jun 09, which built on the achievements of the first weekend.

For the 2nd Annual Family Weekend, AROC SG ventured towards the Kampung Lanjut, situated in Kuala Rompin, Pahang, on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The drive, which is always a major part of such events, was a mix of highway and b-roads through plantations and kampungs (i.e. local villages).

Hosted by Serai di Lanjut Golf & Beach Resort, the group had the opportunity to experience a variety of activities such as golf, a firefly river cruise and a jungle trek. As Rompin was also hosting its Sea Festival, this gave participants the opportunity to take in some of the local sights and sounds.

It was certainly a time for the extended ‘family’ to get together. While regular active members were present, a few long-time but not so active members were able to join the event. One of the highlights was the celebration of the first birthday of one of the “AROC babies” – Xavier Wong.

While in Kuala Rompin, AROC SG was able to meet up with members of AROC Klang Valley, a Malaysian affiliate club, who were spending the weekend at a neighbouring resort. As a first meeting between the two clubs, it also marked the first step towards future coordinated events and activities.

This event was made possible with the support of Serai di Lanjut Gold & Beach Resort as well EuroAutomobile Pte Ltd, the official distributor of Alfa Romeo in Singapore.
