NEWSLETTER - 30/11/09
CHRISTMAS PARTY
The
hot weather did not dampen the spirit and goodwill amongst the
gathering of the members of the Capricorn Chapter at this year’s
Christmas party that started at the Rockhampton Kershaw gardens
for the 10 central and western members viz. Peter & Tracey
Breed, Stuart & Ada Clark, Terry Dwyer and partner, Jo Emmert
and daughter Emma, Brian & Glenis Russell, Jannelle Thomasson
and her mum, Dale & Margaret Volling, Phil & Pam White and Ian
Wilhelmsen. The five coastal members, Martin & Narelle Adamson,
Gurney & Gloria Clamp, Don Madden, Trevor Anderson and partner
and Ted & Margaret Pidcock met up at Yeppoon’s Beaman park.
Both
groups then headed in convoy and met at the Causeway Lake on the
coast where all had a short break and morning tea, during which
Gurney handed out a draft copy of the 12 month 2010 itinerary,
asking all who wish to contribute or make changes to the draft
to contact hi, a.s.a.p.
Stuart &
Ada Clark invited the chapter to visit their property in
Goovigen for morning tea at a suitable date in 2010.

A number of
people suggested that we visit Many Peaks which we may be able to do
on our way to Cania Gorge.
From the Causeway Lake the combined groups headed to the Capricorn
Resort travelling along the Capricorn coast scenic highway, along the
busy Yeppoon beach front and onto the resort for Brunch and to
celebrate Christmas. Janelle tested our skills in recovering an MG
Midget which became bogged when looking for a place to park at the
resort. All who assisted passed the test with flying colours.
Our chapter
group (the largest ever to date), was greeted at the resort’s
Billabong restaurant by the helpful staff who prepared our tables
with colorful Christmas decorations and a glass of champagne. The
large amount of smorgasbord food that was on display not only looked
good, it tasted good.
Apologies were
received from Jim & Sandra Armstrong, Tom & Kathy O’Dea and Linda
Wilhelmsen.
Yours in good MG motoring
Gurney T. CLAMP
Coordinator,
Capricorn Chapter.
