CLUB RUNS
The Club offers its members the opportunity to take part in two types of runs. One is the Day Run held on various Sundays throughout the year and the other is the Mid-week run held regularly on the fourth Wednesday of each month. There is also one weekend away, usually held in July. These runs are organized to allow time for socializing as well as enjoying a drive with fellow enthusiasts.
​
Details of meeting times and places for the runs are advertised on the Calendar page of this website and also in the Octagon. A contact name is always given so that you can check on the latest details of the run.
​
Most participants drive their MG but other makes are not excluded. Below are reports and photos of some recent runs held by MG Car Club.

MGCCQ – 24 SEPTEMBER, 2025 MIDWEEK RUN
ORGANISED BY DENIS THOMAS
What a magic day greeted us for the September “Fish & Chip” run to Tweed Heads. There were 30 participants in 16 cars (10 MG’s) who gathered for the start at Logan River Parklands for a 9:30 am departure.
Denis led the group on the scenic drive through the Numinbah Valley to the morning tea stop at Bochow Park, Lyons Crossing. This was followed by the equally stunning descent finishing at Kennedy Drive, Tweed Heads for an excellent seafood lunch on the banks of the Tweed River. The boys from Scales Seafood provided a choice of hot or cold packs for $20 per head & the quality is always great. There was only one lost soul (who shall remain nameless) & one breakdown (only an Alfa). Another great social outing with our wonderful midweek group. Thanks Denis.

MGCCQ MIDWEEK RUN - 22 October 2025
What a glorious day greeted us for the October midweek run as we gathered at the very well presented Pine Rivers Park, a real credit to the local Council, for morning tea & the usual chit chat. It was great to welcome a couple of new faces & a total of 30 members & friends headed off at 10:30 in 19 cars including 10 MGB’s.
​
We first had to negotiate the suburban traffic, lights, etc which seems to get more difficult each year due to the enormous residential growth across the south-east region, but we finally reached the D’Aguilar Highway & headed off to Wamuran.
​
From there we travelled through the farming region of Beerburrum before heading through the Pine Forests with the magnificent Glass House Mountains in the background. We then wound our way from Beerwah, through Peachester then along Commissioner’s Flat Road before heading down the range again, finally enjoying another climb along Bald Knob Road, which is one for the “drivers”.
There are some stunning views throughout this area & the weather really allowed us to appreciate the countryside which is in great shape at the moment.
​
A short drive down to Landsborough took us to our lunch stop of Pioneer Park where Trevor Jones & Robyn Jenvey were waiting for us.​​
It was probably a longer than usual lunch with our very sociable group now looking forward to the final run of the year, where we will meet up with our friends from the Wide Bay Chapter.

August Mid - Week Run Brisbane
Wednesday 27 August 2025
Our mid- week MG Drivers and their passengers saw us meeting for morning tea at Springlake Park, Springfield.
The weather was kind to us with clear blue skies and warmth in the sun.
​
After morning tea, we saw 17 cars and 29 people looking forward to a leisurely run through the hinterland of the Scenic Rim.
​
After leaving the motor ways behind, we zig zagged through the little country towns of Purga, Peak Crossing, Harrisville, Munbilla, Kalbar, Teviotville, Boonah and Mt Alford before eventually arriving at Haigh Park, Lake Moogerah in time for lunch. It was lovely to look back on some of the straight stretches of road we encountered, to see the long line of MGs and drive cars, their drivers and passengers enjoying the day.
​It was a great way to spend the day, having lunch overlooking the dam and time to catch up with our MG friends.
