18 The Octagon - September 2016
July Mid Week Run by Jeff and Pat Heslewood; photos by Malcolm Campbell It was quite a cool start to the day when 15 cars including 8 MGs set off from Springfield Lakes. I often think that the hardest task for organisers is to break up the various discussions and get the briefing under way prior to departure. Unfortunately Brian Purvis & Di Robinson were unable to join us until the lunch stop. In spite of the cool morning, Denis decided that “top down” was the way to go. We travelled through some beautiful farming country, crossing the Cunningham Highway at Warrill View and continuing through Harrisville then along a couple of narrow country lanes.

The usual socialising continued until it was time to head home after another day of great motoring and great company. The farming country and spectacular mountain backdrop made for another enjoyable drive as we looped around Mt Alford and through Boonah, Roadvale and Peak Crossing before arriving at Johnston Park in Rosewood for lunch. There just happened to be a pie van at the car park and I am sure that we made a healthy contribution to the day’s profits. We managed to do the whole run with only 1 The Octagon - September 2016 19
