A trip along the Esplanade to Pt Vernon bought<br />
us back to earth with the crystal clear turquoise<br />
waters of the Bay gleaming in the sun as we<br />
arrived at our destination for coffee and a scone<br />
to be greeted by Peter and Jocelyn Marie and<br />
David already enjoying a coffee as the rest of us<br />
rolled on in. Young Stuart also joined us taking<br />
time off his photography work to join the fun.<br />
.<br />
A great day was had by the members of our<br />
club. You could tell that everyone was enjoying<br />
themselves as the laughter and chatter took over<br />
the whole coffee shop. It was good to be out in<br />
our cars with such a friendly group of members.<br />
The great weather is just a bonus!<br />

We woke to a beautiful morning which was<br />
just right for top down motoring. Arriving at our<br />
departure point in Pialba, there were 6 cars<br />
waiting. We were running late due to an escaping<br />
dog who would have liked to come with us and<br />
she was just trying to make life difficult for us.<br />
Gleaming in the sunshine was the most<br />
gorgeous Metallic Red Cobra owned by Peter<br />
and Joy Dore our special visitors for the day and<br />
hopefully new members for our Chapter. We all<br />
enjoyed a run out to Burrum Heads where we<br />
were having morning tea. You could not believe<br />
the difference in the weather! Last time we were<br />
here the water was turquoise and flat with boats<br />
galore enjoying their fishing expeditions.Well this<br />
time the wind was gusting at 50 knots, the waves<br />
were crashing on the shore and there were no<br />
fishing boats in sight -- what a difference a day<br />
makes!<br />
Some of the ladies returned to the comfort of<br />
their cars while others braved the weather to<br />
socialise and meet some new members from<br />
Burrum Heads - Roger & Jacky Burnett in<br />
their MK1 Marine Blue MGB and Les & Norma<br />
Dobell in their Black MGB LE Roadster also<br />
accompanied by their Border Collie who fitted in<br />
nicely behind the front seats.<br />
