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 learning more about the marque we all love..

I also ask that new owners email a recent photo of their vette and membership number along with any other details they would 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.

We wish Mike and Isabell safe travels as they continue their journey. I've added the latest photos with previous shots following.
