James. On arrival at the Galloways property we found Gary & Robbie busy setting up with assistance from Stuart & Ada Clark. The afternoon started with the usual chatter while Gary saddled up one of their beautiful horses in preparation for members who wanted to experience riding a horse. Yvonne Holbeck dressed for the occasion and was the first in the saddle followed by Gurney Clamp, Neville Funch, Michelle Taylor having her first ride ever on a horse, followed by the experienced rider Stuart Clark. Katie Emmert also took to the saddle for the first time. It was around this time that Jim & Sandra Armstrong arrived. With assistance from Ada Clark and Yvonne Holbeck, Robbie started serving the beautiful hot pea and ham soup while Gary set up the fires under the B..B.Q. plates. Everyone enjoyed the music from our top musician and songster Phil Henry. After everyone enjoyed their own B.B.Q. dinner Robbie served everyone with trifle followed by the popular toasted Marshmallows, toasted by Jo & Katie Emmert on the ashes under the B.B.Q.s. Special thanks to Gary & Robbie for inviting us all to their property and providing all the tucker that they specially prepared for us. Gathering for the BBQ and Martin Adamson on horse; Gary Galloway leading 19 - 22 August - All Chapter Meeting in Mackay The big August weekend started off with coastal members Phil Henry, Ian Carleton, Gurney & Gloria Clamp meeting at The Oaks before heading off to Rockhampton to meet up with other coastal members Rodger Warne with Phylis Davies and Trevor Andersen along with the lone ranger from Rockhampton Ian Wilhelmsen. Several members from the Wide Bay Chapter arrived and we all managed to start off on time heading north to have morning tea at Clairview. We were lucky enough to see a high tide with Clairview at its best. It was during this section that Trevor Anderson experienced electrical problems with his Daimler Dart but managed to get it up and going and headed the group off to the next stop for lunch at the Sarina R.S.L. Here we caught up with Cathie & Wayne Meredith, Malcolm & Kevin Brown of Sarina, and enjoyed one of the best lunches of the weekend. After lunch we headed off to our accommodation at the Windmill Motel in Mackay. Friday night we got our chance to meet members from Brisbane, Far North Qld, Wide Bay & Darling Downs Chapters and potential members from the Mackay, Sarina & Proserpine region at a meet & greet function on the Lake Deck of the motel while enjoying nibbles provided by the head office. After, we all sat down for a B.B.Q. dinner while we were entertained by Meryl Miles and Pat Walker with their efforts to try and sell some good quality MG Car Club items while handing out membership forms to the Mackay MG car owners. Saturday was a casual day with a 8.45 a.m. start that saw everyone head off to the Mackay Aero club to display our MGs along with some unusual MGs and different types of sports cars. One unusual one was a Panther sports car. The Aero Club Tiger Moth was kept very busy doing joy flights over Mackay, with Gurney saying that it was something that he had always wanted to do. With encouragement from the Capricorn chapter members, he took up the challenge without a parachute and experienced a flight that he will always remember. Many thanks to the Aero The Octagon - September 2016 43
