An excited Phil Henry of Yeppoon won the 2016<br />
Capricorn Chapter’s Jennelle Thomasson Trophy.<br />
The other award, the popular or not so popular<br />
“Broken MG award” went to Trevor Andersen who<br />
also thanked all present for their vote to enable him<br />
to win his first ever award. Rockhampton’s JO’s<br />

Gloria Clamp being congratulated for her running<br />
of the popular Poker run that once again provided<br />
wine for the tables and Gurney Clamp announced<br />
his plans for retiring as Chapter coordinator<br />
On behalf of the committee of the Capricorn<br />
chapter I wish to thank all those members who<br />
made themselves available to attend this function<br />
which allowed them to be part of the voting and<br />
experience the winners of the trophies and awards<br />
and to get to view the power point presentation that<br />
displayed photos that were taken throughout the<br />
year along with a few surprises of members while<br />
they were on holidays.<br />
Following main course Phil addressed all present<br />
explaining the contents of the <strong>2017</strong> calendar that<br />
has a couple of new additions to our range of tour<br />
events with Mt. Etna Bat Cave, Agnes Waters<br />
revisited after a couple of years. Terry Dwyer’s<br />
Mystery Tour and the popular tours are all in there.<br />
Later on Gary & Robbie Galloway indicated that<br />
they would love to invite the club members once<br />
again to visit their property on a Friday moonlit<br />
night, to either camp over or attend a BBQ &<br />
Damper meal. It was also announced that the<br />
chapter had received an invitation from Livingstone<br />
Shire Council to assist in the official opening of<br />
the Multi Story Car Park and also, in mid <strong>2017</strong>,<br />
the official opening of the new Panorama road<br />
between Farnborough and Adelaide Park roads,<br />
and the Rockhampton Regional Council reopening<br />
of the Mt. Archer road on 16th. December<br />
