Well summer has gone so we all thought but the last couple of days have been shocking. All I can say is thank goodness for air conditioning. Last month’s run was to Bribie Island. We were all concerned about the weather especially with the cyclonic winds and rough seas the coastal areas were copping from cyclone Oma. The decision was made by our vice president that our Sunday run was going ahead. It was a lovely day even though the skies weren’t looking promising. A big thank you goes to the organizers of day, the food and our awesomeness chefs for cooking all those sausages, meat patties and onions. But there was one person that stood out that day and that was our newsletter editor for all the running around you did on the day. We won’t say that you left the bread at home so a trip to Woolies to purchase more and then realizing we had no butter when all the salad stuff was being brought out and yep you guessed it (we left that at home too), so off we go again to Woolies to buy butter. It wasn’t your day was it JO ☺. I can’t forget the coffee van. Thank you for making all those coffees. I know our club members appreciated it. At our next meeting I will be asking for volunteers to get on board the All Ford Day Committee to help organize this event in July. Time is going quick and we need to start as soon as possible. Please think about it as we need new blood and the more people, we have the easier the workload will be. As mentioned in last month’s newsletter the GT Nationals will be held in 2021. We need to start forming a committee and we are wanting volunteers to put their hands up to come on board. More on this to come at our next club meeting Also, congratulations must go to our membership officer David Roads on the arrival of his new grandson baby James and big congratulations to Sasha on the birth of her little bundle of joy. I’m sure there are going to be plenty of nanas around for special cuddles. Don’t forget to check out our newsletter for upcoming events. Feel free to contact me by email [email protected] with any suggestions, complaints or compliments regarding the club. See you all at our next meeting. That’s all for now cheers. Mick.
