  BMW CLUB QLD CHARITY DAY - RAFFLE TICKETS & DONATIONS

  BMW Club Queensland is hosting the Inter-Club Competition and Charity Day on 10th August 2024 and we are asking you to support the event by purchasing raffle tickets or making a donation.

  If every club member bought just one $10 book of raffle tickets, or donated $10, that would add over $4,000 to our charity donation.
  

  This year we are supporting Night Ninjas. 100% of your raffle ticket purchase or donation will go directly to this grass roots organisation and can be any amount you wish.

  It's just $10 for a book of 10 tickets.  We're hoping to get support like we've had in the past with prizes like a BMW for the weekend, getaway accommodation packages, gift cards, car service vouchers etc.

  

  To purchase tickets, use the "Register" button.  If you are purchasing multiple raffle books, enter the extras as guests. e.g. 4 books = 1 + 3 guests.

  You will be notified of your raffle ticket numbers within a couple of days of purchase.

  Alternatively, donating is very simple. Just click the "Donate" button below to pay by credit card or PayPal. 

  
  

  OR

  if you prefer, by  Electronic Funds Transfer or bank deposit to:

                                BMW Club Queensland Incorporated

  2024 “May in the Wide Bay” (Hervey Bay) - Rodders Association Car Show

  BMWCQ have been invited to attend the “2024 May in the Wide Bay - Rodders Association Car Show”, held over the Labour Day long weekend (3-6 May 2024).

  We haven’t previously been involved in this event but have heard good reports about the way that previous events have been run.  The Wide Bay Rodders are keen to have our club participate next year! They had 450 cars of all makes and models at this year’s event, with some coming from as far as South Australia - next year’s event will be limited to 400 vehicles!

  Video of 2023 event - https://youtu.be/Cc9V9xNsbXA?si=tUzA7ubdolrogywl

  We will receive more details closer to the date, but it is anticipated that we will meet at a nominated point on Sunday morning (5th May 24) and enter the car show grounds around 8am where we will proceed to the area allocated for our club. Initial thoughts are that having older classic vehicles displayed prominently at the front of our section with progressively newer models in rows behind. The cars would be displayed at least until 1pm.

  The early start, along with the cars being on show for an extended period, means that we need to plan some group accommodation. The below hotels have supplied us with some nightly rates and were selected because they have good security for the cars at night.
