The Run Is ON!!!
Everyone,
the September Run that was postponed two weeks ago because of our urgent family business in Sydney is certainly on this coming Sunday, the 23rd of September.
As previously indicated we are going to do a re-run of the Kenilworth route we did at the start of the year when many did not come because of the weather (read flooding) happening at the time.
Please note that we are intending to use the Bellbird Tea Rooms for lunch and the minimum numbers for a buffet lunch still apply, so indicate in your reply if you are happy with this arrangement and we will call ahead. Interestingly, unlike back in February when water cut the area off, the local businesses are now having to bring water in by truck because it has been so dry.
Details for the Run as as follows, but if you put your name on the Roll Call at the bottom of this post then we will send you a comprehensive navigation sheet via PM. 
 
Meeting Place/Time: (North Side of Brisbane)

• Hungry Jack’s at the corner of Gympie Rd and Beams Rd, Carseldine. There is a Caltex servo at the meeting place plus coffee shops, etc, and plenty of parking space.
• Meet at 9.00am for a 9.30am (sharp!) departure.

Route:

• North on the M3 to the M1 and then via Steve Irwin Way/Beerburrum Rd/Old Gympie Rd/Peachester Rd to Peachester for short morning tea stop.
• From Peachester to Kenilworth for lunch via Booroobin Rd/Maleny-Kenilworth Rd.
• Lunch at Bellbird Creek Tea House (www.bellbirdcreek.com) – see details below.
• After lunch then continue via Kenilworth and the Eumundi-Kenilworth Rd/ Obi Obi Rd to Mapleton, and then through Montville and down the Razorback Rd to Palmwoods, and back to the Bruce Highway via Eudlo Rd, Mooloolah Rd and Steve Irwin Way.
• Brisbane is then 80kms south via the Bruce Highway.
• Total distance from HJ’s to finish is approximately 185kms

Lunch:

The Bellbird Creek Tea House has meals you can order over the counter but if we get 15 people or more then the staff will put on an all-you-can-eat steak and salads BBQ buffet for $15.00 each.

We will need to know the numbers of people coming ASAP for the BBQ buffet so please let us know on the Roll Call if you are going to be there. If there are less than 15 people then we just order individually or take our own.

Hey Dennis you should bring the aw11, then we would have 2 cars from each gen. Would look tidy on the road together.

So have we only 6 participants for tomorrow. could this be our first "over 40's run'? Where are all the red sdubs this weekend???

There is one coming but you could be right. Without all the younger and less experienced drivers we'll be able to go faster.
I have had quite a few apologies via PM and it seems that quite a few of our younger members have their cars off the road. Either that, or work calls.
