MGCCQ Wide Bay Chapter
-
NEWSLETTER:
JUNE - JULY, 2008
Many
thanks indeed to those willing hands who have volunteered to plan and
conduct Chapter runs for the enjoyment of us all. In particular, Bob and Lyn
Emslie (and Herr A.Volunteer) deserve special mention, as do of
course James and Ursula Mahaffey for their recent and most enjoyable
Mahaffey’s Magical Mystery Tour.
Our Programme of Planned Events for the rest of the year is
looking very busy indeed, with a couple of events within the schedule that
need to be stressed because we need an attendance planning number for each.
These particular events are show below:
# Run to Bargara: This is scheduled for a Fri 13 Jun
departure, overnighting at the Absolute Seafront cabins on the Fri and Sat
nights, vacating Sun for a run to Town of 1770 and home. Those who have
already booked through me are asked to confirm their booking on ‘phone #41
592 436. I suggest a departure from Apex Park at mid-morning perhaps, with
lunch en-route at Childers. Any other takers looking for a relaxed weekend
at Bundaberg should ring me.
# Mid-Winter’s Dinner: This Chapter event is scheduled
for midweek on Wed 9 Jul at the Illusions Restaurant at the Urangan
Shopping Centre which will be closed to other patrons on that night. It is a
BYO establishment and the cost for a three-course/three choice full meal is
$30.00 per head. See the Menu attached. I must have firm numbers by not
later than Fri 4 Jul, so please let me know your intentions.
# Run to Kingaroy: John and Barbara Shield have kindly
planned a two day overnight run to Kingaroy on 06/07 Sep 08 and have called
in quite a few favours from friends to present a very enjoyable weekend. The
draft itinerary for the Shield Run is attached. Those who wish to attend are
asked to contact John direct so that likely attendance can be assessed and
appropriate bookings made. Ring John soon so that motel rooms can be
reserved in good time.
# Club Concourse: The Club Concourse at the Sirromet
Winery near Mt Cotton is scheduled for 09-10 Aug 08 and it would be good
were we able to send a strong contingent down, making a weekend of it. Would
those interested please let me know so that I can do some advanced planning.
Because I envisage publishing another newsletter before that planning
horizon for this event gets too close, I’ll send out the appropriate
reminders. | |

-2- I attended, with Peter Boxall, the inaugural meeting
of the Capricorn Chapter of the MGCCQ at Rockhampton on Sun 25 May 08.
Gurney T. Clamp from Yeppoon has been appointed the coordinator of that
Chapter.
Our run to Bargara and Town of 1770 represents our contribution to
widening the Club fellowship base with this very new MGCCQ Chapter. They
have about 14 members, drawn from Yeppoon, Rockhampton, Gladstone, Moura
and Biloela. Good luck to them too.
As part of the establishment of the new Capricorn
Chapter, some guidelines are to be issued by the Club President which
are intended to guide the appointed Chapter Coordinators in their duties
of conducting the internal affairs of their Chapter. They are expected
not to be too onerous and even make provision for the Club’s financial
support for each Chapter’s administration.
Clearly, Chapter administrative costs will need to be
minimised and therefore we should make economies in our own operating
costs. In this regard therefore, I strongly recommend that future
Chapter Newsletters be sent out electronically to all of our Chapter
members and contacts, except where a member specifically
requests to continue to receive a hard copy by mail. Those who want to
continue with the hardcopy version of their Chapter Newsletter are
requested to ring me on ‘phone #41 249 771. To give the new system a
run, even this Newsletter will be sent electronically!
Lastly, if you have inadvertently let your MGCCQ
membership lapse, please do take the trouble soon to renew it.
A reprint of the Programme of Planned Events and the
current and updated Membership List is enclosed with this Newsletter.
Cheers, Luigi Emgee |
