Gold Coast Gathering of the Faithful
Herbie - July 22nd, 2003 at 11:53 PM

A great day was had on Sunday the 20th July when Herbie and other Gold Coast area Vee Dubbers Got together for a run through Springbrook, Numinbah and Murwulimbah in a similar fashion to Herbie rides Again with all the VWs following Herbie through the hills.
Now This all started unintentionally by a conversation through the "56 oval on Gold Coast" Post started By sleeper
Sleeper suggested we restart the Post Here in General chit chat where others might read it and join us for any future runs, So I have started this post and here I cut and paste a bit of the previous conversation.....
"lets get it started by choosing a date .... the last sunday of august will be the 31st if all agrees lets get that thread started"

So Who wants to do something similar again on the 31st of August?
We met out front of the Pacific fair Cinemas on the top floor in the carpark last time and I think thats a good central meeting point.
I am happy to organise a run, but I am also happy to hear other suggestions.
So Here it begins,
Last time this many People got together, How many next time?

PS It all started

Here are a few pics taken on the day.


Herbie - July 23rd, 2003 at 12:01 AM

We stoped in Numinbah for lunch and some more piccys


Herbie - July 23rd, 2003 at 12:07 AM

While having lunch, we met a cool couple with a Black new Beetle, they noticed our Dubbs and came to Join us.
Everybody say Hello to Brian who will no doubt be clocking up posts on Aussie Veedubbers soon as we gave him the info and he has all the enthusiasm.

byronbus - July 23rd, 2003 at 09:10 PM

Im in, keep us posted...31st sounds great,
great pics, shame i was working, looked like a great cruise...


sleeper - July 23rd, 2003 at 09:28 PM

hi herbie,
thanks for taking the initaitive of starting the thread... as for the 31st of august if the date has been decided i'll be in..... can't wait
:)


Herbie - July 24th, 2003 at 12:06 AM

10 am seemed early enough to have a nice day and late enough for me to have a sleep after working late on Saturday nights.
So If everyone is happy we can make it 10 am Sunday 31st August in front of the cinemas top floor carpark Pacific Fair Broadbeach.
Maybee we could go to Purlingbrook falls for a BBQ, I will zip the bike up there beforehand to make sure its still suitable as I havent been there since I was a Kid.

If we have enough people interested in the future we can find a big flat area and hold a bit of a motorkhana or car game day where we blindfold the driver and get the passenger to navigate a course etc, there are some good days spent that way and its great to catch up and Meet each other. All on private property of course.
I also can make up a Navigation Run for everyone if they are keen for future days out.
I have tonnes of ideas having been part of a car club since before I could walk or talk but If you have a suggestion feel free to put it forward and we can include it in the future events.
Cheers Tony

Bugged Again - July 24th, 2003 at 07:51 AM

Is the date the 31st of July or August
A few of us might be at valla at the end of july


Herbie - July 24th, 2003 at 08:14 PM

I forgot to double check the previous posts Its meant to be 31st of August as the 31st of July is a thursday.
However we might have a cruise on Sunday the 10th August. otherwise we will be waiting 5 weeks.
I was having a chat with My dad today and he sugessted that we set a routine like the 2nd and last Sunday of each month.
A lot of people may be Dubbed out after Valla But I cant go to Valla {working the friday and Saturday nights and just to be sure........My brother is getting Married on the Sunday the 3rd} and I am sure I am not alone there.
So, who thinks the 10th August is the go for a cruise?
Lets see a show of semaphores. :D


Bugged Again - July 24th, 2003 at 09:56 PM

i think the variety club bash are leaving from sanctuary cove that weekend, always fun to watch all those cars leave, there's normally a band and the like playing

could be the start of the run


Herbie - July 24th, 2003 at 10:10 PM

Thats not a bad Idea, we could watch them go and then go for a cruise.
Can anyone confirm that thats what the variety bash contestants are doing?
I dont mind going up there for the start.
Cheers Tony:thumb:cool:


sleeper - July 25th, 2003 at 08:54 AM

herbie...
i would come on the 10th but have planed to go to willowbank for the yamaha xtreme series .... maybe if you aren't cruising join us for a ride:D


ByronBug - July 25th, 2003 at 03:21 PM

:sandrine
Sorry T can't make the 10th.
As I mentioned in previous post, the 31 Aug is the only date spare in all weekends in Aug for me.
We could combine our Klub monthly cruise with a general get together of everyone too. only a suggestion....
