Octagon November, 2017

all about!
We arrived at the Bowls Club to be greeted by
another 5 Cars and a Motor Bike - yes, another
eleven members decided to meet us there for
lunch. After the meet and greet Darrell produced
a great big bag of MG Magazines for us to take
our pick of and he informs us he has many more
where they came from.
The Burrum Heads Bowls Club put on a lovely
reasonably priced meal which we all enjoyed to
the full; the social interaction for the whole day
was extremely good and it was very good to see
John and Annie there after John’s long Battle. He
is looking so well and we are so happy they are
able to come out with us once again. Lindsay will
be on his way to NZ to spend some quality time
with his sick Mother. We wish him all the best
wishes from the members and look forward to
him joining us again on his return to Hervey Bay.
29 October Run to Queens Park Maryborough
and Burrum Heads Bowls Club for Lunch -
Contributed by David Hall & Lyn Hayward
Great day had by all, a good roll up and a
Special Guest Richard Collier from Whitsunday
Chapter topped it off for us. We look forward to
next month’s outings.
There were seven cars and fourteen owners
looking forward to today’s run on which we
headed out to Maryborough, our destination
being Queens Park for morning tea, However,
when we arrived, I realised that there were
celebrations going on and no parking spots for
us with people everywhere. Instead we did find
a nice little park looking out over the Mary River
with the train station nearby where people were
boarding the Mary-Anne for steam train rides
around the park. After morning tea Warren and
Margaret decided to go for a tour of the park on
the train which they thoroughly enjoyed while the
rest of us just chilled out enjoying one another’s
company and enjoying that view. It turned out to
be a lovely spot for a break sometimes when a
plan doesn’t come together, the alternative can
be better than the original idea!
After an hour had passed it was time to move
on as dinner was waiting for us at Burrum
Heads and we didn’t want to be late for that. We
headed back towards Hervey Bay turning off
towards Torbanlea and Howard and then to our
destination for lunch - the Burrum Heads Bowls
Club. The Countryside was a picture after the
recent rains and it was a pleasure to be out in
our cars enjoying life, isn’t that what it is
