The Perfect Club for the Car Enthusiast
Regis Canning Aged Care, 13 Sep 15 ….
A few days before the event, attendance
was looking a bit sparse, but on the day, the roll-up was somewhat enlightening. Although not
totally sure on the numbers, there would have been around 10 cars and perhaps 20 people. After some social interaction at BP North, the group head-up the freeway at the scheduled time of
9:30am arriving at Regis in Mewitt Street shortly thereafter.
Unlike the previous visit in August 2014 where the parking area at Regis was barricaded-off for
club members cars, this didn’t occur and there was some confusion and congestion on arrival,
but it all got sorted-out.
After signing-in, club members were treated to a splendid morning tea after which the residents
of Regis were taken-out to view the cars.
Apart from Ron Gooda’s Chev suffering a coolant leak and requiring on-site maintenance at
Regis, the run and visit to Regis was a great social gathering on a beautiful Sunday morning.
Next Club Run ~ Bowdens @ Buderim …. Sunday 20th September. Meet
BP North at 8:00am for a 8:30am departure. Run organiser, ‘Sir’ Dennis Seidel.

afternoon (02/09/15) from QUEENSLAND LAND FIRE AND RESCUE, community
safety Ray Jones checked the “National Construction Code” which is also called
The Building Code of Australia and he informed me: BUILDING IS CLASS 9 a
Multi purpose hall/ meeting room Section D-1.1.1.3 1 person to mtr squared 90
mtrs= 90 people in attendance at any time. Building must comply with fire
safety standards for a meeting hall.
1 exit door for this size room
1 Fire exit approved hardware on exit doors
1 illuminated exit sign

Agreed good practice is to open a 2nd door, keep cooking and electrical facilities
outside, ensure all members are aware of exit point and emergency assembly
areas.

The lawyer says to the wealthy art collector tycoon: ”I have some good news and I have some
bad news….” The tycoon replies: ”I’ve had a awful day, let’s hear the good news first.”
The lawyer says: ”Well, your wife invested $5000 in two pictures this week that she figures are
worth a minimum of $2 million to $3 million.”
The tycoon replies enthusiastically: ”Well done… very good news indeed! You’ve just made my
day; now what’s the bad news?”
The lawyer answers: ”The pictures are of you with your secretary.”

Bowdens Run, 20 Sept 2015 …. For those who have not
attended Bowdens, it’s definitely a worthwhile visit. Unlike
most museums where you wander about at your leisure and
pace, host, Dan Bowden, puts-on a very informative, and
sometimes humourous commentary, as he describes each individual car and its place in Australian racing history.
Bowden’s story begins with a love affair, its starting of collecting historic Australian racing cars from back in 1973, when David Bowden bought the first car for the collection – the notorious Ford GTHO Phase IV. Since then, the Bowden family have dedicated their blood, sweat
and tears to restoring and maintaining these vital pieces of Australian motor racing history. The car collection has grown to over 70 cars that are housed mostly located on Bowdens Sunshine Coast property, as well as a few museums and showrooms throughout Australia. Let’s support Bowdens and the Caboolture Regional Car club by attending this run
on Sunday 20th September. Meet BP South at 7:00am for a 7:00am departure. $30.00
