CHAPTER Chatter<br />

by Gurney T Clamp<br />

Friday 4 March - Dinner at AFISHIANDOS<br />

Yeppoon’s strong winds assisted members<br />

move in through the front door of the<br />

Afishionados restaurant on Yeppoon’s beach<br />

front on Friday night. When everyone settled<br />

down in their seats the restaurant manager<br />

Madeleine Friedrich presented foundation<br />

member Don Madden with a surprise<br />

miniature birthday cake. After Madeleine gave<br />

Don a surprise kiss on the cheek she then<br />

started singing Happy birthday to Don backed<br />

up by members Jim & Sandra Armstrong,<br />

Gurney & Gloria Clamp, Phil & Margaret<br />

Henry, Richard & Michele Taylor, Garth<br />

Barnes, Stuart & Ada Clark, John & Margaret<br />

Horton, and Ian Wilhelmsen followed by the<br />

usual three cheers. I have to report Don had<br />

no trouble in blowing out the single candle on<br />

top of the cake.<br />

Following the usual enjoyable sea food dinner<br />

members moved across to the Coffee shop<br />

for an enjoyable cup or mug of coffee and to<br />

continue the usual club chatter that allowed<br />

members to catch up with Garth Barnes on his<br />

and Leslie’s recent trips overseas and to wish<br />

Jim and Sandra Armstrong a safe journey on<br />

their forthcoming trip to the MG Car Club’s<br />

National Meeting in Perth over the Easter<br />

period.<br />

Sunday 20 March - Laurel Bank & The<br />

CAVES pub<br />

Coastal members woke to threatening<br />

overcast skies along the Yeppoon coast which<br />

disappeared as they gathered at Beaman<br />
