From The President's Desk - The 2012 Run Calendar

As we discussed at the Christmas run with today's lifestyle it makes it easier to plan and budget if we know what is happening as far in advance as possible, so the intention is over the next two weeks to publish the whole of 2012's activities in advance. Make sure you keep a watch out for this and mark up your schedules, diaries, Facebook page or whatever to keep the days clear for what will be some well planned activities.
 
The new Run Manager has been working very hard over Christmas to set up the Queensland Run Calendar for the coming year. Routes have already been driven over, venues for stops looked at, and as many varied driving conditions found as possible. Coming across the Gypsy Jokers Motorcycle Annual Convention really wasn't planned but hopefully this group of over 150 Harleys won't be on the same road when we get there.
 
The runs will be scheduled so that we get a balance of going north, south and west, with a split between Saturdays and Sundays, and some other events that may cover just after dark or a whole weekend.
 
To start 2012 the following three events are now planned out and scheduled:
 
Saturday 25 February - North - all day - Sunshine Coast Hinterland - lunch near Kenilworth 
 
Sunday 25 March - South - all day - Bangalow Markets via Numinbah Valley
 
Saturday 28 April - West - all day - Crows Nest
 
Detailed run sheets will be published one month before each event so also keep a lookout for these.
 
2012 marks a turning point for the Club in Queensland so we look forward to seeing everyone on the first run on Sunday 25 February, and keep an eye on the Forum for details of our new Club website and other news.

    Knightrous, 
     
    I haven't talked to the other members of the Committee about what to do when people ask to come on the runs with other cars but my personal view is that it shouldn't matter that the person is not driving an MR2.
     
    My only observations are that being the MR2 Club we should keep the Mr2's together for photos at stops, and the MR2's should lead on the road, but apart from that we really want to actively encourage interest in the cars through getting together as a group, so lets not preclude people just because their car (or in your case, cars ) are off the road, or there is some other problem.
     
    When we finalise the paid membership then we might have to say that someone can't keep on coming to runs when they are not a paid-up member, except perhaps in unusual circumstances like after the floods last year when folks were short of money.
     
    I feel this is only fair as the Committee is really trying to build up the value of being a member (well-organised activities, sponsorship, CAMS affiliation, etc) and the low membership fee is a token of commitment as we talked about at the Christmas meeting.
     
    This will all come out in the wash over the next few months and I'd certainly be interested in other views on this if there are any so lets hear them.

    Sounds good to me. Main reason I'm looking at bring Subaru is simple to catch up with everyone, while I wait to sort my AW11's out.

    That actually sounds very wise.  As you know I am slack and my car is still not tuned but I really have missed these runs.
