Meeting Venue!!
Our monthly club meetings are held on the first Wednesday of
each month at the Hotel HQ, 21 Kingston
Road, Underwood.
The bistro serves delicious meals and our private room is spacious and well appointed.
There are jugs of cold water and refreshing mints on every table
plus hot tea, coffee and biscuits on the supper table. We
also have large screen televisions displaying club / event photos
and other
relevant Corvette / motoring presentations for you to enjoy.
Why not plan to arrive a little early and enjoy a great meal
with your friends. The lovely staff at Hotel HQ will
happily
serve your order in the function room if you wish. This
option is becoming popular, with quite a few members
taking advantage of the peace and quiet afforded by our
comfortable private room to relax and enjoy their dinner and drinks with friends before
the meeting.
Members and visitors are reminded that
Hotel HQ is located at the intersection of Kingston & Logan Roads.

2009 QCC Concourse
Unfortunately, our Club Concourse planned for
Sunday 21st June, was rained out and we were forced to postpone
the event at late notice. The Queensland Corvette Club
apologise to all Registrants, Sponsors, Members, Guests and
members of the public for any inconvenience caused by this late
change in plans. By midday Saturday, hopes for a break in
the weather were dashed, and the day postponed with the maximum
notice possible.
The Concourse Committee are currently checking through schedules
with the Gold Coast City Council in an effort to secure a
suitable date in the near future. The new plans will be
communicated as early as possible to give people plenty of time
to prepare.
Please contact Bob
0412 759 468 or Pete 0409 003 300 should
you have any questions.
New Members
The Queensland Corvette Club has gained quite a few new members
over the past couple of months and we encourage all Corvette
owners and enthusiasts reading this article to consider joining
our club as a means of expanding your social circle while

I also ask that new owners email a recent photo of their vette

like to see posted on the members page. Of-course, existing members
are also welcome to email up-dated photos or details.

Photos from our US Correspondents - Mike & Isabell
A May email from our favourite US Correspondents to bring you
up to date with their adventures so far......
Back in Virginia following a great Boys only weekend at the Indy
500 with our Nephews. While on the road, we were caught in
a freak blizzard in Texas and made a right turn at Albuquerque
(for all you Bugs Bunny fans) to enjoy a hot air balloon ride.
Please enjoy our pix will attach more later.
Mick and Isabell"
We wish Mike and Isabell safe travels as they continue their
journey. I've added the latest photos with previous
