President’s Report – April 2019

Hello to all club members.

Welcome to the April newsletter president’s report. I must say it is so good to see so many

new and old members turning up for our meetings. I also want to acknowledge our 4

mischievous long time members for all the photo shoots we see monthly in our newsletter. If

you are not sure who they are, let’s see if you can name them at our April meeting.

Wally has been so busy with designing a new club jacket, windscreen banners, caps and

stubby holders. If you didn’t see the design at our last meeting please speak with Wally.

The design to-date is awesome. It will be good to have new merchandise for winter. Any

feedback from members will be appreciated. Members will be informed when the

merchandise has arrived and orders will be taken in the next coming months.

I personally want to wish everyone who is travelling to the Nationals a safe journey. Drive

safe and I hope you enjoy the event and good luck to everyone. Bring back plenty of

trophies. Queenslanders here they come.

Our last run was a combined run to Eagle Heights Tavern then onto Charles Holm Park.

Thank you to those club members who woke up early to join us for breakfast. There were

plenty of laughs and it was good to catch up with everyone. After breakfast a couple of

members ventured down the mountain to have a picnic in the park. Unfortunately, not many

members attended. Don’t forget to check out our newsletter for upcoming events and our

report on this run.

In closing I want to thank everyone who supported our daughter Lauren and partner Gareth

in purchasing the Sauce Sombrero Holders. For those that don’t know what they are, it holds

sauce bottles upside down so no wastage with the sauce. Lauren has now produced blue

ones with oval holes. If you are interested come and see Sharron or I and we would only be

happy to take your orders. Blue ones will be on display at our next meeting with the original

brown, yellow or red ones.

Feel free to contact me by email [email protected] with any suggestions,

complaints or compliments regarding the club.

See you all at our next meeting.

That’s all for now cheers.

Happy Easter & don’t forget Anzac Day

Mick.

March Run

First: Eagle Heights Mountain Resort Breakfast Mt Tamborine

Second: Charles Holm Park BYO Picnic Lunch Hope Island

Sunday was a nice morning for a GT Run up to

Eagle Heights for breakfast, although a sleep in

would have gone down really well. As a 6.30am

meet was a killer but not as bad as having to get up

a 3am to travel up from Ballina in NSW like

Theresa, David and the family did great effort guys

was, great to see you, and even Rohan

Quirey was there. For the rest of the

group will meet up at HJ at

Loganholme as the norm, then headed

off down the highway to the Oxenford

exit, then up the short side of Mt

Tambourine to Eagle Height Resort for

breakfast. As usual a great variety of

choices to pick from to eat and with

either a coffee or tea to wash it all down, it was

then catch ups all round for everyone. Even a few

of the Gold Coast members also attended, after

breakie and a chat some of the members headed

for home.

A few

headed

down the

mountain

to the second part of the run for lunch at Charles Holm

Park at Hope Island, this was a bit of a fizzer as only

about 8 members turned up. So, looks like we give

double runs a miss in the future. For those that did

make it there was a nice breeze off the water which

made it a nice cool afternoon. After a chat a light lunch everyone called it quits and head off.

To those that made the effort “Thank You!”

Thumbs up Theresa & family

The following venues are still on the list for last minute decision runs:

Last Saturday of the month: Twilight hangout on Virgin Stadium overflow carpark.

If anyone in the Mackay area has any ideas on events up here please give me a call or if you have an idea for a run it would be great to hear about your idea

A little old lady from Wisconsin had worked in and around her family dairy farms since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work and little compensation.

When canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores in the 1940s, she read an advertisement offering $5,000 for the best slogan. The producers wanted a rhyme beginning with Carnation Milk is best of all.' She thought to herself, I know everything there is to know about milk and dairy farms. I can do this. She sent in her entry, and several weeks later a black limo pulled up in front of her house. A large man got out, knocked on her door, and said, "Ma'am, the president of Carnation milk absolutely LOVED your entry. So much, in fact, that we are here to award you $1,000, even though we will not be able to use it for our advertisements." He did, however, have one printed up to hang on his office wall. Here it is:

Deepest Sympathy

It is again with a heavy heart that I inform

all of you of the sad news regarding another

Monday afternoon (18th March) with family

by his bedside.

All members of the Falcon GT Owners Club

of Queensland send our condolences to

Sharon (his wife) and the Marson family. As

his Fords.

John Marson ...Rest in Peace you will be

greatly missed by all.
