Well 2015 was my first year with the club, what a great year. It was great meeting you all. To the organisers of all the events over the year thank you for a fantastic job. The new kids on the block I am sure will keep up the good work.
I am looking forward to all the events of 2016, rain or shine.
Perhaps slidewise or the Mt Cotton skid pan. Apparently QR frown on going sideways if it's not a drift event haha.
Happy new year to all and hope to see you all in 2016.

Wonderful day on Sunday, thanks to all members that were able to come. It was great to have some of the families along and good to see everyone enjoying themselves. There were a few red legs and faces by the end of the day – hope everyone has recovered. Congratulations to all in their water activities especially to Roger and Doug in showing us their prowess on skis.
Lionel was impressed with the appreciation of his craft and enjoyed spending time with people with a similar understanding. He has already asked his wife about the possibility of purchasing a MR2. The response was not favourable!
So as a token of thanks for the day one of our club members has supplied a miniature version of a SW20 to present to him. This will be done shortly along with a certificate of honorary membership.

This was the final club event for 2015. Hope to see you all in the New Year.
Craig Smith (Club President)

wow.. what a way to end another great year of awesome MR2ness..... big thanks to big lionel and his big boat.... i cant explain it but 65 mph on water feels just a little crazier than being on a race track doing 200km/hr...... thanks to craig and the club organisers who put so much effort into making the days run so smoothly. looking foward to new events and new people joining the club throughout 2016.

I think if I owned that boat I would definitely sleep with it. Many thanks to Lionel and Jenny for being so gracious as to provide such a great day of entertainment for all of us.
Early morning the lake was absolutely beautiful and very near smooth. Perfect for the boards or skis.
And that monster V thing !!! Bloody hell !!! I did notice one thing though. No slimy oily water in the bilge. Got to be something wrong there. Ive NEVER seen another inboard that didn't have a well lubed bilge.
Thank you for your company it was very much appreciated.
Regards Doug.

Unfortunately the Honda didn't do justice to the roads on the way home, must find a way to fit 3x child seats into the Adub (or just buy an additional SW & ZW).

Great day, Violette and I loved the boat (she wanted to stay out all day and sleep on it). It would have been awesome at 6am skiing on a flat lake!
