Sunday 30th November - Camp Quality Bribie Christmas Party
The Camp Quality Bribie Christmas Party is undoubtedly, the most
personally rewarding event that I've had the pleasure of being
involved with.
That's a pretty big statement - just ask any member who's taken
part in this annual event and I'm sure they'd express the same
sentiments.
The Queensland Corvette Club, together with the Harley Owners Group,
the Lyons Club of Queensland, Camp Quality and many special
community groups from the Bribie Island district combine to provide
a Christmas Party for Children and their Families that have been
touched by Cancer.
The party is held in a beautiful beachside park, with food, drinks
and entertainment provided by special members of the community, for
special members of the community.
As a club, we contribute the proceeds of fund raising activities
throughout the year towards the many needs of the Camp Quality
organisation and then provide our vehicles and time to help brighten
the day for these beautiful kids at their Christmas Party.
It is our pleasure to take Camp Quality children, and their
families, for joy rides in our cars as part of the entertainment for
the day.
Please consider setting aside the day to help with this event
particularly, if you've not previously had the opportunity.
Cafe's are located conveniently and there are park tables and
benches for our use. I'm going to throw in my togs and a
towel this year as the clear waters of Bribie Island are perfect for
a relaxing swim. (no photos thanks) Food and drinks are provided to
volunteers for free, just bring a hat, sun screen, cool water and morning
tea.
We need as many Corvettes as possible and volunteers to assist the
children in and out of the cars. Drivers are requested to
bring a cushion for the children to sit on - some are quite young
and may not be able to enjoy the view without one.
Meeting at Clive Peeters, Loganholme for an 8am departure,
collecting Northsiders at the BP Burpengary for a 9am departure
by convoy to Bribie Island.
Keith Hosking is leading this run, please call him on 0417 744 924
to confirm your attendance.
We need at least
12 Vettes for this day to work, and have ten confirmed so far.
This is a great opportunity to share your pride & joy with a lovely
group of deserving children - please join in if you can.

Monday 26th January - Bayside Restorers
Ormiston Classic Car Rally
This has become an annual Australia Day
pilgrimage for our club and is always an excellent run.
The currently Vetteless Jaimes is leading the troops to sunny
Ormiston to join one of the Bayside's most popular car rallies.
Spend a couple of hours in the company of hundreds of beautiful
classic cars and then combine with the Queensland Mustang Club for a
convoy run to their Cooparoo Club House and a relaxing Aussie BBQ
lunch.
Meeting at the 7/11 service station, Mt Gravatt - Capalaba Road, at
Mackenzie, just east of the Gateway Arterial Exit for a 7:30am
departure.
Corvette convoy run to the Ormiston State School in Wellington
Street, via Capalaba.
We need to know who's coming as a courtesy to the Mustang Club for
catering purposes so please phone Jaimes on 0423 6446 83 before
Monday 19th to confirm your place if attending the BBQ.
This can be a hot time of year so please remember to bring a hat,
sun screen and plenty of water. The rally usually finishes by
10am - yes this is a quick one, so there's not too much sitting
around.
The organisers supply a free breakfast to vehicle entrants and there
are always various refreshments and snacks available for purchase.
I seem to remember the registration fee was $2, will confirm this
ASAP.
This is always a great rally - there are no trophies or judging,
just hundreds of car nuts getting together for the pure enjoyment of
displaying their vehicles. The last couple of years have seen
700 ~ 800 classic cars on display, so it's well worth coming along.
