Australian Caravan Club officials from Queensland and Victoria attended the fifth anniversary muster of the Tassie Travellers branch of the Australian Caravan Club (ACC) in March.
Thirty members in 17 RVs made their way to Myrtle Park Camping Ground in north-east Launceston where members were joined by ACC membership director Graham Christie and his wife, Kaye, who travelled from Queensland for the March event.
To enhance the celebrations, former ACC chairman and club life member Lionel Mussell from Victoria attended a barbecue lunch on the Saturday with members.
ACC Chairman Craig Humphrey congratulated the members of the ACC Tassie Travellers on the success of the branch.
“Our ACC Tassie Travellers have been great ambassadors for our club over the past five years and I congratulate them on reaching five years,” Mr Humphrey said. “Several members of the branch have made overall contributions to our club that extend well beyond Tasmania.”
ACC Tassie Travellers branch president Ed Glover proudly stated the many achievements of the branch: “Our branch has seen many great friendships formed since its humble beginnings of eight members in five vans to today’s 60 members in 37 RVs,” Mr Glover said.
“To our members who helped form the branch, and to those who have served over the years on the branch committee, a big thank you. It was one of our branch members, Bernie Barnwell, whose efforts helped form the ACC’s Lone Trekkers Special Interest Group,” said Mr Glover.
