<strong>The</strong> final Gold Coast Chapter club run for <strong>2023</strong><br />
was in fact the first run my wife and I had<br />
ever organised. Under theguidance of our everhelpful<br />
chapter leaders Trevor and Helen Dixon<br />
our maiden run was everything we could have<br />
hoped for and much much more.<br />
It was great to have so many members turn<br />
out on the day. In the end I think we had 28<br />
cars all up which included a few dedicated<br />
Brisbanites who made the trip down the M1 to<br />
join us. So, the stage was set, the sun was out,<br />
the cars were gleaming, and everyone was on<br />
time as we met at Nerang Fair Shopping Centre<br />
at 7.30am for an 8.00am start. I’ll admit to being<br />
a bit nervous while giving the briefing, so many<br />
people had put together amazing runs previously<br />
and now it was my turn.<br />
In 3 big groups we headed off on our first leg<br />
which took us up and around Beechmont then<br />
down to our BYO morning tea at the Guinea<br />
Family Memorial Park / Western Boat Ramp of<br />
Hinze Dam. After a short break we then headed<br />
south along the beautiful Numinbah Valley<br />
and down into northern NSW. <strong>The</strong> roads were<br />
old favs that most <strong>MX5</strong> ers would be familiar<br />
with. I really wanted to make this run all about<br />
enjoying winding open roads and wonderful<br />
views of the Gold Coast and the Northern<br />
Rivers of NSW. We skirted past Murwillumbah<br />
