MIDWEEK RUN REPORT 25 MARCH 2026

What a beautiful sunny day and a great turnout for our meeting at Fernvale’s Memorial Park for a chinwag and catchup. We has 22 cars including 12 MG’s along with 39 humans. This is an awesome effort from all who came along!

Don Webster came along to plead his case in regards to the Mount Cotton Hillclimb – VOLUNTEERS NEEDED please, for the foodstall on the weekend of May 16/17 and May 30/31, due to Paul & Virginia enjoying themselves overseas. If you are able to help out for a couple of hours it would be greatly appreciated. Don will even demonstrate how to Build a Burger. Please contact Don 0439 526060 or Meryl  0418 760447.

Rob gave a quick rundown of the course then we left Fernvale at 10:30am. Our first encounter was of course roadworks 2 kilometres in, lights changed green as we approached, at least some of us were able to continue through on the first green! With the weather playing nice we took a steady drive through to Glamorgan Vale weaving our way past the Bottletree Hotel (while keeping an eye on those boys who thought it might be fun to pop in for a quick pint). We continued onto Marburg, passing under the highway, through town and back out into the countryside, where the rain had turned everything so lovely and green. Then onto Tallegalla Rd towards Minden where we merged onto the Warrego Highway to pick up the pace a little and feel the wind in our hair, for a short stint only, exiting at Heise St to catch up and do a head (car) count, no one lost YET!

Finally we came to what (we think) was the best drive of the day. A glorious drive along the winding and up reaching Summerholm Road to the hills behind Laidley, (and of course roadworkers were laying in wait, tarring the cracks in the road). Heading towards Laidley we turn down quite a long, downhill run where brakes came in very handy. Making our way through town and turning towards Forrest Hill was where we lost a few cars, but never fear, they found their way back to us, thankfully.
