May Club Outing: Beechmont Country Markets

Hello Members,

It was a case of ‘third time lucky’ for our outing to the Beechmont Country Markets, with bad weather forcing the cancelation of two previous runs 

We departed our Jimboomba meeting point with perfect autumn weather, travelling in convoy to Beechmont. Led perfectly by Pat McDonald; we arrived in one group and parked in the pre-arranged area. As always there were interested onlookers.

The market was down on their usual number of stalls, but those present were of good quality, the homemade biscuits were popular. We finished at the markets quite early. 

We then headed to a local cafe (The Flying Bean), arranged by Pal MacDonald and Craig. A couple of members took the opportunity for an early finish and left us, those remaining enjoyed the food and drink, and the sight of the daredevils paragliding from the cliff opposite the cafe. 

After our meal we split into two groups, one returning to Brisbane via the way we came in the morning, and the other returning home through the Gold Coast, navigating their way through the road works, showcasing their cars. 

Thank you to those members who attended the outing. and to Pat and Craig for arranging the cafe and Gold Coast drive. I am sure that a good time was had by all. 

With his health issues it was great to see Bob and Narelle come along. 

Hoping to see you on Kelli’s Day Out and Presidents Day..

See you all again soon,
