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 />
