Rivergate Marina 20-21 October 2007                                 Photos

Rivergate Marina on the southern bank of the Brisbane River immediately downstream of the Gateway Bridge was a great venue for our on-water-event in October. It was a fine weekend and the planning for the event by Richard Lane and Ian Rennie fell into place, and fortunately no one fell into the water

Marine Stadium 15-16 September 2007                               Photos

A fantastic weekend arranged by Artie Phillips saw about 14 members boats anchored-up in the crystal clear waters of a breezy Marine Stadium on Saturday. Birthday cheers for Chris Pine and Ingrid Millbourne and a warm welcome to 3 new members were extended at the beach BBQ where discussions flowed freely on tips and tricks, cruising experiences and potential club workshops. An electrical storm through the night didn't deliver the threatened rain (thankfully) and Sunday Morning dawned a beautiful sunny day with a light breeze. (more)

AGM Couran Cove 18-19 August 2007                                Photos

A well attended and lively AGM held at the picturesque Couran Cove. Chris Wright was honored with Life Membership - congratulations Chris - and the changing of the guard was toasted including our long-serving commodore George Szcsepanski who handed over to Wayne Jennings.  Click here to see the new committee names. Northside Marine had a new CR2800 for rides and viewing - thanks Greg.  Wonderful dinner and good conversation throughout the evening.

Richmond River 9-11 June 2007                                           Photos

The Saturday afternoon drinks and nibbles were great even though the wind was chilly and made us all decide to retreat back to our boats for dinner rather than BBQ on the beach.

The very sociable time was enjoyed by all and the chill in the air was much tempered by Keith's innovative stainless steel barrel fire on the beach. Always environmentally conscious, it was well fed by fine Mullumbimby firewood from the Miller's ranch. No doubt Keith and Edna are making good use of it now on their extended holiday to the west. We wish them a great and trouble-free trip

All in all it was a fantastic weekend and special thanks to Keith and Edna Miller for instigating and organising the new venue for the Club Whittley. (more)
