15th May 2016 – Kelly’s Combined Run to
Childers and Burrum Heads
Two MGs, a TR3 and a Morrie Tourer headed
off to Childers picking up another 3 cars at
Howard making a total of 12 members who
were joined by the Bundy Crew consisting
of 21 Members and 11 cars for morning tea
in a lovely park by the Railway Line. A good
get together for all members catching up with
one another and the conjoined run down to
Burrum Heads Hotel. We were met by other
members not wanting to do the longer run and
a total of 45 people sat down to a lovely meal
and a cold drink enjoyed by all.
A great day was had by all thanks to Les and
Joukje Kelly for organising this combined run
for us.
Wednesday the 18th May – Five MGs and
a French convertible took a short run through
the beautiful cane fields and then along the
sea front to arrive at the popular Bayaroma
Cafe on the Esplanade Torquay (Sharyn’s
Choice) where we all enjoyed a wonderful
morning tea and a chat about our cars. This
was followed by a trip down to the exhaust
centre for a little red MGB with a “holy” muffler
(bless the little MG).
The car park was full of sports cars 18 MGs
in total (1 from another club), keeping the
onlookers entertained with this amazing
collection of 30 classic cars in the car park.
The Bundy crew took a short run to Darrell’s
favourite beach as others headed for home.
