CHAPTER Chatter WHITSUNDAY CHAPTER by Cathie Meredith Dads Day in the Valley, Sept 3. Once again, the Pioneer Valley Classic Car Club’s annual Fathers’ Day Car Show was a great success. Jimmy and Johnny had a great chat with Mal Sykes who brought his TD down from Cannonvale for the show. Richard and Lyn’s TF, “Mistress” was taken off the trailer at home and actually drove to Mirani for the show. Richard and Mal also had an opportunity to swap notes. A great selection of cars spanning more than a century were on display, from a 1910 Renault to a 2017 Mustang. A great day of entertainment was had by all who attended with proceeds of the day going to the Mackay Alzheimer Society. There were slot car races, mini fire truck rides, Old MacDonalds Farm, Belly Dancers, a Pin Up Parlour and Pin Up competition for the ladies, Helicopter rides and 180 beautiful vehicles to admire. Monthly Run, Sept 10. After the monthly Old School Breakfast at the Harbour, we did a “New and Old” run to visit the new lookout at Lamberts Beach and then on to the iconic old Eimeo Pacific Hotel for lunch. The Council redevelopment of Lamberts Lookout has greatly reduced the car parking space at the summit, so we had to park half way up and trek the rest of the way to the top of the hill. Unfortunately it was too windy and rough to spot any whales from the lookout, although they had been seen all through the week. With the Eimeo Hotel listed for sale for redevelopment, we thought we should visit while we still had the chance to enjoy the views from this landmark location. A delicious lunch was enjoyed, as was the company and conversation. 50 The Octagon - November 2017
