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 Midweek Run - 25 June 2025 by Kevin Trower
Wednesday morning began with clear skies and a cool breeze blowing across the spring lakes.
After sign on completed we headed off on 10:30 start time. Heading in a westerly direction we merged onto the Centenary H/way.
The amount of development along this stretch of h/way is astounding. After joining the Cunningham H/way, a right turn into Ebenezer at the Canberra bomber memorial with speed limits reduced from 100 klm/h to 80 klm/h for 10 klms .
Travelling through Rosewood just remembering the 40 klm/h speed limit. Road works and a set of lights slow us up a bit. Marburg came and went onto Warrego H/way and right turn in Minden towards Mt Tarampa , then a left and then a right and left again and right again onto Mt Tarampa Rd to join Coominya connection Rd. Left and past Atkinson Dam.
A right turn at Esk / Gatton Rd into the centre of Esk and lunch at the Grand Hotel. A greeting from mine host Joe and designated parking was great with a couple of members meeting us for lunch. A couple of major birthdays were celebrated at lunch. Great day had by all. Total of 20 cars with 9 MG's altogether.

MGCCQ Mid-week Social Run, 28 May, 2025
A bright day with the first of the seasonal westerlies started with morning tea at Pine Rivers Park. The main topic of conversation revolved around the cool weather - we are all seemingly getting soft in our old age! A total of 16 cars turned up, with 10 being Abingdon MG’s - but only a couple braving ‘en plein air’… Apologies came from Trevor and Joy Jones plus Neil and Kate Robson.
After a pleasant catch up in the sun, 14 of the cars set off at around 10am. Once we had put the traffic lights of the city behind us we had a pleasant run through to Dayboro. We then turned right up to Mt Mee where of course we hit a couple of roadworks and associated traffic lights. Down the other side we joined the D'Aguilar Highway through Woodford before turning left onto Neurem Road past the prison - the new Youth Detention Centre looks as though it is going to be massive!’
After we rejoined the D’Aguiar Highway we then dropped down into Kilcoy where there was a brief comfort stop. Here we were joined briefly by a Lotus driver who was coming home from a trip to Sydney to buy a couple of classic Jaguars and was interested to know about wire wheels - where to start?! We then had a smooth run through to Moore where we turned up Linville Road for the run up to the pub.
We arrived to find a couple of MG’s who had travelled up separately from the West already parked in front of the pub. We then parked our cars along the front - made quite a sight…
The team at this historic pub had reserved the dining room for us, the service was quick and the noise level soon rose. After lunch the group dispersed to wend our ways home, speaking personally the only issue on the way back was the smell of the constant stream of cattle trucks from the abattoir in Kilcoy…

MID WEEK RUN FOR THE BRISBANE CHAPTER
23 April, 2025
The MG drivers and passengers met at Fernvale for morning tea and the start of the run.
The weather was kind to us. We missed quite a few regulars, these folks were on the way back from the Nationals held in Wondonga. They were keeping us informed of their wins and travels via Facebook, thanks we appreciated touring with you.
We had a lovely trip through the Lockyer Valley, so green after the rains. The crops were green, some being picked for market. We lunched at Billy Bay picnic area on the banks of Lake Somerset. Lots of laughs and chatter. We were even entertained by a koala in a nearby tree.
Safe driving home for all. Some via Mt Glorious and others to the south back through Fernvale.
A good day was had by all thanks for the great company.
