Capricorn Chapter
MGCC country members living in the Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Biloela and Moura
districts can now enjoy more social activities with the Capricorn Chapter
being officially recognised following a meeting in Rockhampton last
Saturday.
Gurney Clamp was appointed Co-ordinator of the clubs newest
regional Chapter, joining Wide Bay and Darling Downs. Founding members from
these existing Chapters joined club President David Miles and Assistant
Treasurer Kevin Ponting in Rockhampton for the occasion.
Gurney and Gloria
Clamp, Trevor and Dell Watkins, Graham and Lyn Cope, Ian Bryant and Peter Boxall, along with Val Horgan, Kev Ponting and David Miles had a very
productive discussion regarding chapter guidelines and procedures over
Saturday night's dinner, which also consisted of much laughter and a wine or
two...or three..or four!
WEEKEND TRIP, 23rd AUGUST, 2008
A great trip to Moura on Saturday 23rd. The trip started at 7.10 a.m. on a
cold morning from McDonalds on Rockhampton's south side with cars coming
from Yeppoon, Emu Park & Rockhampton.
The trip to Moura had a lot of side
events, with an thrill ride up the Mt. Morgan Range lead by Don Madden in
his MG A, to arrive in Mt. Morgan with everyone experiencing a notable cold
weather change in their cars.

WEEKEND TRIP,
23rd AUGUST, 2008
(cont.)
One car had brake failure at a stop sign at Dululu, one minor engine problems and one having to stop to receive a phone
call, At Moura the crew from Rockhampton were greeted at the line up for the
procession by Jim & Sandra Amrstrong, and Wayne & Kerrie Kirwan. Wayne
created a huge interest when he arrived in his beautiful MG TF, that looked
like he had just driven it off the show room floor.
A line up of 8 MG's
followed the motor bikes in the procession through the main street of Moura
and were well received by the town folk of Moura. At the show grounds the
MG's were al lined up for public viewing and a lot of interest were shown by
the patrons of the Coal Festival.
Noel & Sue King took the Moura Mine tour on a local bus while the rest of
the members headed home via a road to Theodore with Jim Armstrong as tour
guide, to give us a chance for a view the mine site workings at the road
side.
A good trip had by all with one car having minor heater problems and
another engine problems on the way home, but they assured me that they will
be ready to go again for the trip to Yeppoon in September.
