These guys are a very professional unit. we have organised a cruise and BBQ on the 20th June and would love as many people as possible to attend. I am going to try and get some coverage of it if we can make it a massive turnout.

So, please, head to the calendar, find the event and RSVP. It will be a great day. You have a month to organise yourselves.

:(
Ahh, Keith you just refreshed my memory cells - I remember my dad often referring to Timbuktu. First time I've ever seen it spelled; thanks for the memories.

:)

Yup I will be on this run. Already signed up.

Pete

[Carbon]

Yeah Kel, date is 20th June. I have amended the heading.

Please, for those that have not already done so please go here and RSVP.

http://www.brisbanecommodore.com/bccc/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=27&day=2010-6-20&c=1

Was talking to Shane from the XR Club today and we have decided to make the barbie a gold coin donation. We are going to donate the proceeds to a young girl on the north coast who needs medical treatment. More of that to come

[Darren]

cool, I might be able to make it now the date has been revised

[GMH085]

Iam 80% in hell yes
It depends if the car is still going LOL or i have the funds for the fuel

[VZ008]

Im in Adam I was just wondering where the meet point was I didn't see one or am I going blind and there is one there lol.:)

[Carbon]

it's a bit of a mess this thread at the moment. We proposed a route but we decided to amend it with the Ford boys (see post 15)

It will be the BP on the highway at Morayfield as per the first post

If everybody could go to the calendar and find the event, the most up to date details will be in there. Please also RSVP

[stealthvn/mr vr ss]

what time we meeting to leave adam

[Carbon]

All details will be on the event post in the calendar as it comes to hand

[Carbon]

As we should all know by now, all event details are in the calendar. However, seeing we have decided to make this cruise help a cause, I thought I would share the details here as well.

As most of you would be aware on Sunday 20th June 2010 our club will be having a combined cruise with the boys and girls from the XR Owners Club. The cruise will be up around the lovely Sunshine Coast. On the day we will be having a sausage sizzle for lunch and all we will ask of you for the sausage sizzle is a gold coin donation. Any profits that are made from the sausage sizzle between both clubs we have decided to donate to a young girl whose name is Tasha.

Tasha's family live on the northside of Brisbane so it will not only be a get together with our new friends from the XR Club but a northside run for a northside girl. A trip for Tasha.

Tasha is nine years old and suffers from Optic Nerve Hypoplasia (ONH) and Cerebal Palsy. Tasha is totally blind which means she has a complete lack of form and visual light perception. She can only walk if she is aided. She cannot feed herself and is only able to eat pureed food.

Doctors in Australia explained to Tasha's parents that there was no chance that she would be able to see but they never lost hope of one day giving her the ultimate gift of sight.

Then one day Tasha's mum Renee, discovered a story about children going to China to receive treatment for ONH which is offered at Beike Biotech, China. This treatment utilises stem cells to encourage the growth of a patients own regenerative cells. Tasha's parents then found out that these treatments not only offer hope and gift of sight but can benefit patients with Cerebal Palsy.

Unfortunately this treatment is expensive. They need to raise $59,000 for Tasha's treatment and related costs. As a struggling young family they are relying on the generosity of the public for support and funding. Since October last year when they started their crusade the family has managed to raise $39,000, so they are still $20,000 off their goal. Tasha's parents have paid the deposit for her treatment and have her booked in for her treatment the beginning of September 2010 but if they cannot raise the last $20,000 in the next 7 - 8 weeks, it will be all over for them for this year. They would then have to re-apply to the government for another sanction that will allow them to conduct fundraising activities. This will see them waiting until next year to go to China.

The family's goal is for Tasha to see them, especially her mother who has nurtured her from birth. They would love for Tasha to have her sight by Xmas. Even if Tasha gets only light perception from the treatment at least she would have the ability to tell light from dark and the general direction of a light source and who knows if they even have greater success Tasha might be able to walk unaided and feed herself - something that most of us take for granted.

With the profits from the sausage sizzle going towards helping Tasha we encourage everyone to give whatever they can to help meet the target. As has been said they only have 7 - 8 weeks to raise the final $20,000 so time is running out fast. If the family achieve the magic total of $59,000 they need to be in China by the 24th August 2010 for Tasha's treatment to go ahead.

It doesn't matter how little, every cent is a step closer to giving the family the opportunity of giving their beautiful little girl the gift of sight.

If you like take a look at www.tashashopeforsight.com

[Carbon]

Just an update

We will be holding a massive raffle on the day. At this stage I am looking at making it a winner take all monster raffle. But I may change my mind. Our sponsors are being very supportive of the raffle. Meguiars for example have given me $250 worth of product while Mr Muffler and GSL have also responded quickly. I have no doubt the others will all contribute meaning it will be a very impressive prize for the lucky winner.

Raffle tickets will be $4 each or 3 for $10. To encourage people to attend, to win the raffle you must be there.

Also, some will already know we have a page on Facebook. If you didn't and have a FB profile, please search for the club and join the page. You will also notice I have added the event on FB so please RSVP on there also.

Cheers

Adam

[Carbon]

Ok, so this cruise is approaching very quickly.

Some more news. Kent has informed that Hi-Torque are coming in force and bringing some Commys and some Ford's. Cant wait to see what arrives.

In raffle news, we have now received stuff from PWR, Pedders and Joel from Motorama has led me to believe they are contributing something from the Lions Den.

And in more personal news.... My car will be in its new build..

:woohoo::woohoo:

[CalaisRider]

Sounds like an awesomme day.

I just checked the timings and this the last weegend where I am free as a kite to get out there and do stuff.

As of the Monday I have some skin cancer chemo stuff to commence. I've been putting it off across two years but can't do that any lonoger without serious repercussions and likely biig surgery, part of the treatment reigime is to stay out of the sun for 1 month - fawwk.

.

[stealthvn/mr vr ss]

big hat, pants and long sleve shirt ull b right

[VP Pursuit]

If I cam get this gearbox done intime I will be there as I only have 2nd and 3rd

[DC347]

We are all meeting a morayfield up near Caboolture is that right or is there going to be points for southern people to meet and the northern to meet or just make your own way up??

[Carbon]

I can organise something down at that HJ's at Browns Plains again if you're interested Chris (and any other southsiders),

[VP Pursuit]

I'm happy to lead a south to morayfield run from springwood....but that's up to the event orginiser and will also depend on getting the car fixed in time.... But seeing as it's two weekends away I doubt I'm going to have a problem

[VP Pursuit]

Hahaha great minds alike hey Adam????

[Carbon]

Yeah mate.

I only suggested it to Chris because he has met me at that spot before for a cruise. I would prefer Brows Plains but will go with whatever people prefer.

[chelless]

I will be there with bringing luke (vlv8m8) actually making him drive lmao

[DC347]

I can organise something down at that HJ's at Browns Plains again if you're interested Chris (and any other southsiders),

[EQUIPE-T]

[EQUIPE-T]

[Carbon]

i will organise for Springwood only if enough people warrant it. I have a number of members who usually meet me at HJ's. So, I give till Thursday lunch to voice where it shall be. Otherwise I will choose.

[Derek VE SS]

Adam, Springwood is on the way for us , or we will meet up at Morayfield.

Unfortunate, you both have to pull out it.

I have spent a lot of time today talking to the XR guys and I can see in excess of 60 cars (based on suggested numbers). We have a great raffle on offer and the Ford Sponsors have kicked in for a raffle.

I will have some info up tomorrow. It is going to be an awesome view for oncoming traffic. We will be going Ford/Holde/Ford etc. I cant wait....

Also had confirmation from Kent today that 4 Hi-Torque cars are coming along.

Look forward to seeing all those coming and all the new members and Facebook members attending.

I can't commit 100% by the cutoff today, won't probably know until tomorrow if I can make it or not. So I will also bring my own lunch etc to avoid causing any catering probs.

I would really like to make it though, so will let you know Adam asap

[CalaisRider]

Unfortunate, you both have to pull out it.

I have spent a lot of time today talking to the XR guys and I can see in excess of 60 cars (based on suggested numbers). We have a great raffle on offer and the Ford Sponsors have kicked in for a raffle.

I will have some info up tomorrow. It is going to be an awesome view for oncoming traffic. We will be going Ford/Holde/Ford etc. I cant wait....

Also had confirmation from Kent today that 4 Hi-Torque cars are coming along.

Look forward to seeing all those coming and all the new members and Facebook members attending.

:cryin:

Mate I cokked up. I thought I was doing the skin cancer treatment reigime commencing next week, but it was started yesterday. The pre-requisite of staying out of the sun may be difficult on the cruise and b.b.q. Squidding is ok as its a night time thing. I'm pretty well out of any day events for a month.

Sorry, I was fully intending to go all along.

[mackervl]

[Carbon]

Excellent Alan, we look forward to catching up.

Mate I will see how the treatments is progessing by Sunday. If not too far advanced I will do the run but sun exposure is all important and I can't adequately describe how important.

But have to be back at Victoria Point by 3pm for another gig starting at 4pm through 10pm on the same day...

PS
Those rules for this run seem fairly harsh and very dicatorial,which is becoming the norm here, but...rules is rules I suppose. It's certainly not condusive to me being lured to putting in a major effort to be there.

Pete

[Derek VE SS]

too many cars not to behave Pete , I imagine the first person from an official position that sees us all is gonna shit . Be good to see you there , even if you show for the cruise with the rods in the boot.

[Carbon]

Sorry Pete. Have you got a better solution for me. Shane and I are trying to keep 60 cars at of the poop. We want you a many people there as possible but we want people to have a good time.

I only read your initial reply and didn't understand what Derek was talking about until I came in here.

Hi Boys & Girls,

Shane here from the XR Club. Just to let everyone know the club is looking forward to tomorrow. With both clubs on the road it certainly will be an awesome sight.

As there is so many cars and as Adam has said we will be splitting into two groups. My wife and I will be the lead car of the first group, Adam will lead the second group and we will go off Ford, Holden, Ford, Holden etc.

Can't wait until tomorrow. I look forward to meeting those of you that I haven't met yet. Catch you all at Morayfield in the morning.
