Thanks everyone for the support so far. The Run Manager and I are looking forward to having everyone to the Chapter Clubhouse  on Sunday the 27th of July. Keep an eye out in your PM Inbox for the Agenda and discussion points.

Dudeman,
we wanted to call it a "Branch" to try to fit in with the concept of having a national organisation but unfortunately being incorporated under Queensland Fair Trading legislation it has to be called a "Chapter".
 
 We don't use the word "Chapter" much at all, just in case someone in the Queensland Government thinks we are really secretly a bikie gang and our cars are really motorcycles in disguise.  
 
The idea of having a Chapter patch does appeal though, and while we let you southerners win two of the NRL State of Origin games this year so you wouldn't get too sooky after eight straight losses, a design showing a cane toad driving an MR2 and squashing a cockroach under a tyre has been suggested.

Yeah, the newman government has taken full advantage of some other fools decision to get rid of the upper house. Everyone always thought the upper house to be a useless waste of taxpayer money - now it's value is realised. 
 
Chapter - come ride with Sergeant at Alms Tralfaz, on an OMCG (Old Mr2 Club Group) cruise and party at the clubhouse.
 
Hey hey, hey! Don't go putting me as a blues supporter, i'm from Brisbane! I was at the first State of Origin match at Lang Park and saw big Artie Beetson in action! No way, ever, will I go for the blues. Of course Qld let the series go, just to let the kiddies down here know that Qld hasn't 'always' been the best at league. I remember the lean times of the 90's when nsw were flogging us for a few years, but for nowhere near as long as this run!
 

Agenda Item:  MR2 Nationals 2015 in Queensland.  Beautiful one day, MR2 invasion the next!!!!!
 
We "Southerners" need a Date and Location to plan our annual leave or time off to attend!!!

To quote that famous line said by Corporal Jones from Dad's Army: "dooon't panic, sir, doooon't panic". His other famous line was "they don't like it up'em sir, they don't like it up'em", but let's not go there.
 
The location of course will be in the greater Brisbane area so that's not a problem, (no-one needs to plan to drive to Cairns or somewhere similar) and the date will be decided in the next three weeks. Given the numbers who attended both Bright and Tassie with two years notice, knowing when and what 12 months out should be more than sufficient as people don't have to cross the water or worry about freezing to death.
 
We are counting on an invasion so hopefully when the details are confirmed all those who attended the recent 30th Anniversaries will be there.  
 
 

Would be prweety sweet to have a similar turnout for the qld national as 30th was such an awesome turnout an think I have finally defrosted from the chilli trip down (#)
