I was giving some thought as to how we may be able to improve the meet
and drives. It is just a thought but I believe we need to meet at a
carpark say Willows or Stockland at a set time, say 10.00 to 10.30.
After a short assembly, we head off for a reasonable run that ends
somewhere we can sit around have lunch, eat and drink. Basically a
quick assembly, spend more time driving and leave the destination as
the place we spend time mingling?

I thought the run up to the tea cottages was a great idea as I think
it would attract more intersest as people could sit around, have lunch
or coffee, talk VW stuff and then have a good drive home as a group or
by themselves. Other fanily members would probably be happy to follow
in a second car and meet at the location for lunch.

Most of the group turn up on their own and don't appear to keen to
bring BBQ stuff, food etc with them but would probably hang around
more if there was an food outlet of some kind at the end of the drive,
Macca's, a pub, Hungry Jacks, takeaway or a coffee shop.

Places like the Tea Cottages, Rollingstone Pub, Balgal Beach, Giru
Hotel, Bushland Beach etc may be places we could plan for? If this was
received by the group we could probably branch out a look at a longer
run to Ingham, Charters Towers, Ayr or incorporate a car rally?

this is an invite for the 9 th of march 2010
Hi Manx 1969.
Was wondering if the VW Tropical Air club might like to do something
with the Townsville Mini Car club.
I have had 2 Manx's and one chopped top 65 beatle, have mentioned
this idea at our club meetings and the idea was well received but had
some troble locating you guys until I found you on this forum.
We are having a meeting at the Bowls Club, (hang a left into Bell
street off Boundary street) in South Townsville this Tuesday the 9th
of March. Either show up in force or reply to my e mail if interested
or both. I think it would be great.
