As reported in Malcolm Spiden's history of the first couple of years of the
Club (full text on the first of the Nostalgia pages), the first Club event
ever held was a Social event - a day run on Sunday 28 November 1954. It
was reported in 'Motor Sport in Qld' that 'a good rollup of cars assembled
at Kemp Place about the 8am mark, and it really looked something to see the
line-up of G's. Lunch was at Picnic Point, Toowoomba where future
activities were discussed.' (Motor Sport in Qld Dec 1954, Vol 2 No 4 p 31)
