THE CLUBROOMS - One year after the flood .... |
|
The photos below have been chosen to give you three views of the same aspect of the clubrooms -- 'FIRST VIEW', CLEAN UP" and 'TWELVE MONTHS LATER' for the outside, an overview of the interior, the foyer, the kitchen area and the bar area. Hopefully this will give you a concept of what has happened and been achieved over the past twelve months. However, there is still more to be done so, if you would like to assist, contact Max Johnson on 3201 5836. Our thanks go to all those who came along on that big day of work immediately after the water had receded and to those who have worked for the past twelve months creating the 'new' clubrooms we have today. |

CONCESSIONAL REGISTRATION UPDATE OF INFORMATION |
Recently I was asked by a couple of members to seek clarification from Queensland Transport as to whether or not our members are permitted, under the restrictions of Special Interest Vehicle Registration (commonly referred to as 'Concessional Registration'), to drive their concessionally registered cars to the Clubrooms on a Friday night for the weekly Friday night Noggin 'n' Natters.
The guidelines which are published on the Qld Transport website and the letters which those with cars on this type of registration received from Qld Transport last year certainly did not give a clear indication of whether or not this usage was permitted. Please click here to read the response from Queensland Transport in full.
