The Hilux Club is on the move again for our Meetings.

Our stint at the re-furbished ‘Gasometer’ has not quite been up to expectations, so your Committee has spent some time tracking down (and trying) a new meeting location.

We have settled upon the “Queensberry Hotel”. According to the website it is:
Built in 1890, the recently renovated heritage listed hotel has become a funky yet traditional hotel. Conveniently located a short distance from the CBD and walking distance to Melbourne Central, the Queensberry is easy to get to via public transport and there are plenty of parking spaces in the area.

The location is:
593 Swanston St (cnr Queensberry St)
Carlton VIC 3053
Ph: (03) 9347 2648

We hope that you all have a great Xmas and New Year and look forward to seeing you all next year at the “Queensbury Hotel”.

The next meeting will be on January 19th 2011.

This year’s Christmas Trip will be at O’Tooles Flat.

A spit roast dinner will be layed out on Saturday night, where the clubman of the year will be announced.

Put your name down on the trip sheet at the general meeting.

Dale will be running the father and son trip this year.

The latest edition of full bore is available for members.

Southern Tourist Park in Beachport. Speak to Bear for more details.

Matt is running a High Country trip on the cup weekend.

More details to come…

We are producing a 2011 Hilux Club Wall Calendar.

It will be A3 size, featuring full colour photos from past Hilux Club trips. 
It will also include the dates for all Victorian public holidays, and Hilux club meetings.

The cost is only $15 for financial club members, and $20 for non members. 
For $30, members can guarantee that a photo of their car will appear in the calendar – first in best dressed.

All proceeds go to the club.

Calendars should be ready for pickup at the Christmas Trip on the 4-5 December.
You must pay in full by the 17th of November (General Meeting). 
To pre-order, email me paulc8712@gmail.com, and make payment directly into the club bank account.

We are moving the General Meetings back to the old pub, which has been renamed The Gasometer – 484 Smith St
