Manx Club / Wheelies Assoc Day - Pics **
Brad - December 13th, 2003 at 08:48 PM

The Manx Club Aust Inc will be providing support to the Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Sport and Recreation Association of Queensland Inc in the form of a Beach run and day out in the greatest vehicles on earth - Dune Buggies.

In order to make this happen I need as many VOLUNTEERS as possible. I have committed to 20 seats through club members but would love to take more if possible. The day will occur on Sunday 18 Apr 2004 and will consist of a Cruise from Brisbane to Noosa Heads - Onto the Beach and up too Rainbow. Lunch at Rainbow provided by the Assoc and then back through the Inland onto the beach and back to Brisbane. It should be a great day and well worth the effort.

For more info on what the Wheelies Assoc is about check out their website http://www.sportingwheelies.org.au/

The day will be fully supervised by the Assoc and both the Manx Club and the Assoc have insurance to cover any concerns people have.

For more detail or to volunteer the services of you and your Buggy / Baja please contact me.

Cheers,

[Edited on 19-4-2004 by Buggy Brad]

Should be a great day. We have been looking for a charity to support which wanted something other than $$$$. These guys are not only a great assoc they are very excited about going "Dune Bugging " as they call it. :D

Brad - April 13th, 2004 at 12:29 AM

mmm not looking to good numbers wise... C'mon people anyone else going to support this worth while venture ?


Baja Wes - April 13th, 2004 at 08:23 AM

I've only got one seat unless you want the back seat passengers to be cooked. The radiator makes it a little warm in the back seat when cruising on the highway.


Andy42 - April 13th, 2004 at 09:37 AM

So I know me van is not a baja or buggy but do i get to try and scare the bejesus out of anyone or am I the baja/buggy recovery vehical.
So come on who is coming for sure:cool:

MickH - April 14th, 2004 at 08:31 PM

BUMP......:cussing


Jamox - April 15th, 2004 at 12:20 PM

Man I'd love to. You East coasters have all the fun. I would be there with 3 seats for sure if I was on your side. Ok, it might be a bit snug in the bug. But it would be good. I am quite proud of the club for doing this. I am surprised you can't get more seats though with what... 75 or so members??? If a third of them took people you should have at least 20 seats. ??? I wish I could be in it. Hope it all goes well. Getting close to the day now too huh?

Best of luck with it although I am sure you won't need it. I am just a bit sad thinking of the people who will miss out if there aren't enough seats.

RIghtio then, seeyabye
Jamie


MickH - April 15th, 2004 at 01:59 PM

C'mon you "southeners".If I didn't live so far away I'd be doing it in a flash. Get out and support a worthy cause. It will give yourself and others a great deal of satisfaction. Don't be slackarses.:cry
