The Central group of Stuart & Ada Clark, Terry Dwyer, Tony Gubins &
Merilyn West, Robert Holbeck and his son Craig, Ian & Leanne Mc
Keague, Brian & Glenis Russell, Phil White and Ian Wilhelmsen took
off from Kershaw Gardens. They then headed north along the Bruce
highway before turning off at Greenlakes road towards the junction
of Yeppoon / Dairy Inn road where they met up with the coastal group
of Ian & Rosemary Carleton, Gurney and Gloria Clamp, Jenny Hill and
her traveling partner Tracey Handiside, Noel & Sue King, Phil &
Margaret Henry, Don Madden, Tom & Kathy O’Dea, Rodger & Phylis
Warne.
It was here that new members Tony Gubins & Marilyn West (2004 Grey
MG F )., Robert & Craig Holbeck (1998 British racing green MG F )
were welcomed into the club, and a chance was provided for all
members to view Phil Henry’s upgrade to his 1970 MG Midget, after
which the members headed of to the Top of Mt. Archer for the planned
BYO BBQ arriving at the top at 4.30 p.m. Most of the older MGs
experienced high engine temperatures on the way up the mountain but
arrived at the top to a very cool wind coming in from the coast.
With most members looking for coats later in the afternoon, Paul &
Lois Mickenbecker arrived late but in enough time to join in the BBQ
informing us that they were heading off to the nationals in Tasmania
later in the year. |
Gavin & Paula McIndoe also called in to meet everyone and seeking
information about their MG A to assist them in getting the brakes
repaired and back on the road to join in on our next tour. As usual,
members of the public enjoyed viewing the line up of MGs and a
Triumph at the top and there were plenty of waves on their way to
the mountain.
Apologies from Jo Emmert, Jim & Sandra Armstrong, Martin & Narelle
Adamson,
Gary & Robbie Galloway, Dale & Margaret Volling.
Phil & Margaret Henry won the Coastal bottle of red with new member
Robert Holbeck winning the Central bottle of red, a gift for his
wife Yvonne when she returns from England.
Potential new member Brian McKendry arrived late enquiring about
buying a MG
