formation is comprised of extinct volcanic<br />
craters, some of which we did see along the<br />
road but which only appeared as more of those<br />
rolling hills when seen from road level. When<br />
there is enough rain they do appear like lakes<br />
if you expend enough energy to climb up to the<br />
top and look down inside.<br />
We were welcomed at The Leprechaun Club<br />
by Chief Leprechaun John, who efficiently<br />
coordinated meal delivery and bar operations<br />
and threw in some Irish Jokes and Irish poems<br />
for good measure. He seemed to enjoy our<br />
time there as much as the rest of us. Several<br />
undertakings were made to return there in<br />
future either as a club outing or as individuals.<br />
All appeared happy and contented as the crowd<br />
gradually dispersed and we all departed for our<br />
respective homes after a day well spent and<br />
enjoyed.<br />
Hervey Bay Twilight Run Sunday 4th<br />
December<br />
Well who would have believed it 15 cars and 26<br />
members and 4 signed up to join our Chapter -<br />
a total of 30 members the most we have had for<br />
a long time here in Hervey Bay!<br />
It was just a short drive along the Esplanade to<br />
the Pier Park were the Council had recently built<br />
a nice new car park for extra parking perfect to<br />
help keep our cars safe and where we could<br />
also keep an eye on them.<br />
It wasn’t long before we were all tucking into<br />
our choice of food and drinks, chatter being<br />
the main choice of the beautiful evening, with a<br />
lovely sea breeze topping it off.<br />
We could not have found a better venue here<br />
in the Bay and it was nice to see new members<br />
Lindsay and Marie McDonald driving their<br />
Immaculate MGB Roadster and the signing up<br />
of 4 new members to our Chapter was a Giant<br />
Bonus. We hope you all have many happy<br />
outings with our club in the future!<br />
Hervey Bay Saturday 10th December<br />
Christmas Party<br />
Our change of venue and Day and Date<br />
seemed to have attracted our members out with<br />
28 present at Carol and Lewis Gray’s Home in<br />
Point Vernon.<br />
The ladies all brought some beautiful salads,<br />
pavlovas, cheese cakes, home made sweets<br />
etc the list goes on and on and a very large ham<br />
and chickens were purchased by Carol. This all<br />
made for such a Beautiful Banquet fit for a King<br />
