IMPORTANT - Please note!!
A New Meeting Venue has been Found!!!
After much brain storming and a little foot work, the Hotel HQ
at Underwood, has been chosen as the venue for our December Club
Meeting.
Hotel HQ is located at 21 Kingston Road, Underwood, (for the
Navman equipped) or at the corner of Kingston & Logan Roads -
for those of us persisting with a refidex. (opposite the Big Gun Fruit Barn)
Hotel HQ provides an extensive menu ranging from
pizzas to succulent steaks and of-course, a full bar set-up.
Why not arrive a little early and enjoy a relaxing meal before
the meeting?
The Committee and Members wish to thank Management and Staff of
the Southern Cross Sports Club for the complimentary use of
their conference area over the past several years. Members
have generously patronised the club restaurant, bar and coffee
shop during this period and we believe this mutually beneficial
arrangement has served both groups well over this time.
Unfortunately, it was the informal nature of our relationship
that saw function bookings receive a higher priority for room
allocation than our casual but, regular arrangement . The
increasing popularity of this venue and the corresponding
inconvenience of being moved at short notice has resulted in our
need to find a new location for our monthly meetings.
Hotel HQ Directions
Driving North:
Take the Springwood exit from the south-east
freeway. Turn left into Logan Road, go straight through
the lights and proceed until you come to the Beenleigh Road
inter-section. Turn left and then left again through the
shopping centre into the “HQ” car park.
driving south: take
the Springwood Road exit from the south-east freeway go through
the first set of lights, veering slightly right. Turn
right at the next set of lights and go under the freeway bridge.
Follow
Springwood Road to it's junction with Logan Road and turn right
into
Logan
Road. Go straight through the traffic lights at Kingston
Road and turn
left at the next set into Beenleigh Road
then left again through the shopping centre into the “HQ” car
park.
Please note: the right turn from Kingston Road into
the Hotel HQ looks simple enough but can be quite dangerous with
multiple lanes of fast moving traffic approaching from the
south. We advise the use of Beenleigh Road via the
neighbouring shopping centre as a safer alternative.
December club meeting
Meeting to be held at the Hotel HQ, Kingston Road, Underwood.
Details will be included with your next edition of the
Vetteletter. As this will be our last formal get-together
for 2008, it is proposed to provide a supper after the meeting -
please consider staying for a while to enjoy the delicious
treats.
January club meeting
Due to the 2008/09 New Year holiday, it has been decided to move
the January club meeting from the usual first Wednesday, to
Wednesday 14th of January 2009. Remember, we're at the
Hotel HQ.
Business offering special deals to members of the Queensland
Corvette Club has proven so popular, it's been decided to dedicate a
new page on the website for this purpose.
Members can navigate there by selecting the
Special Offers link from the
Club page
 or
by clicking on the dollar sign short cut on our home page.
Every Corvette owner in Australia has no excuse for not knowing the 2009
National Convention is being hosted by our friends in Canberra.
However, you could be forgiven for not knowing that the NUMBER 1
registration for this prestigious annual event was
auctioned on ebay as a fund raising opportunity for the wonderful
people at the Starlight Foundation.
One lucky person now holds the honour of being the #1 registrant for
the 2009 convention.
The auction finished on the 18th
November
2008.
Please click on the Canberra Logo to view the auction result.
Congratulations to the winner, a bargain if ever I've seen one.
As you will be aware, the Camp Quality Bribie Island Christmas Party
is being held on Sunday 30th November.
This year, we've been struggling to arrange the 12 vettes needed to
make this day a success. It is with this in mind that I extend
a heart felt thank you to members of the Corvettes Down Under Car
Club and the Queensland Mustang Club who visited our website, saw
our dilemma, and have offered their vehicles to help-out on the day.
I understand that our events co-ordinator is in discussions with
representatives from both clubs to make arrangements for the day.
Thank you to all members from these clubs, your camaraderie is
greatly appreciated.
