Camp Quality Christmas Break Up - Bribie Island - 25th November 2007

Members of the Queensland Corvette Club wish to thank Camp Quality for inviting our club to their 2007, Christmas Break Up celebrations on Bribie Island.
It is a real privilege to play a part in this special day and share time with a group of marvellous children and their very special families.

Eight Corvettes set out from Clive Peeters, Loganholme at 7:30, bound for the BP roadhouse at Burpengary to pick-up our north side members.  We were met by another seven vettes, and after a quick coffee, were off in convoy to Bribie Island.  Nev took the convoy on a tour of the proposed joy ride loop on the island before parking ready for the children.  Fortunately, our watery boundaries reduced the distance travelled should one become disorientated by these new surroundings.  I noticed, during my circuits, that Corvettes would appear from all directions but no-one got lost!!!

Fifteen Corvettes drove children around the island circuit for a good 3~4 hours, with some drivers even having to take-on additional fuel to cover the miles.  It was a beautiful sunny day with a light south easterly breeze, perfect for the convertibles and targa tops.

Thanks to Sue and Sally for baking beautiful cakes for our morning tea.  Thanks to the ladies who helped the children in and out of the cars and who ensured a smooth and safe flow of traffic in a very congested street.  The SES volunteers did a great job stopping traffic all day so we could leave the set down area safely and the Ulysses' Motorcycle Club members were a great group to share the day with.  Special thanks to the Bribie Island Police Service for providing helpful officers who ensured that everyone remained safe during the event.

Special thanks to our Vice President & Events Co-ordinator, Nev Solomon for organising one of the most memorable and enjoyable Corvette runs that I've ever been part of.  Well done Nev!
