GOLD COAST AREA
The Gold Coast Area (GCA) is the second youngest HMCCQ area, forming in June 2023. Starting with only four members, we are growing quickly and now boast around 80 members. Up to 30 historic bike enthusiasts attend our regular events, our monthly meetings are friendly and informal, and we welcome visitors and potential new members.
As we grow, we intend organising other events that will attract historic motorcyclists from across the HMCCQ areas as well as enthusiasts from northern NSW. We also support other local events such as the annual DGR “Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride” and have our own spot each year at the “Cooley Rocks On” Show and Shine in Goodwin Park, Coolangatta. Our main objective is to build a membership comparable with the other larger HMCCQ areas.
Meetings
Monthly meetings are held on the 4th Sunday of the month at the Iron and Resin Garage Café - arrive at 8.00 am for an 8.30 am meeting. When signing on all members and guests receive a free coffee voucher on us and you also go into the draw to win a $15 brekky voucher, both to be redeemed on the day. New members all receive a GCA T-shirt.
Rides
We currently have two regular rides - “The Pie Run” on Tuesdays and “The Members Only Ride” on Thursdays - both leaving from “Iron and Resin Garage” at around 9.30 am, with the destinations decided on the day. Usually it's down south through the Hinterland to either West Tweed or Crystal Creek in NSW. Both of these rides are a maximum of 50 km, and are suitable for the older historic bikes and the bodies riding them.
Connect
As mentioned above you can always find us on any Tuesday or Thursday for a chin wag at Iron and Resin from 9.00 - 9.30 am. Should you have any questions or need help with club registration (SIVCS) and other things pertaining to the HMCCQ we're there to help.
Facebook
You can find us on Facebook by searching: ‘Historic Motorcycle Club Queensland Gold Coast Area (HMCCQGC), however, only HMCCQ financial members can join.
Non-profit
We are a non-profit organisation, and our sole source of income is from regular Bunnings Sausage Sizzles at Bunnings West Burleigh.
