The CQ Detectorists have just had their annual AGM weekend camp at a historical WW2 U.S. Army Training ground in the Rockhampton district.
A very nice turnout with club members coming from as far as Mackay and the Sunshine Coast! This weekend is designed to bring all the club members together from all over the state, to vote for the committee positions in the club.
The weather was lovely, not too cold overnight, and not too hot through the days. Although a welcome campfire was appreciated by those feeling the chill in the evenings. This gave members the chance to sit back, have a couple of social beverages, and chat about going-ons in the detecting scene.
Every year the club members have been issued a challenge to claim the “Greg Egrets Memorial Trophy”, a prestigious award that is now in it’s 5th year. “Chubb” claimed the win after finding a cleverly hidden special token. This token secured him the win after he found where Anthony (Greg Egrets son) had hidden it under a log!
The Committee members voted in this year are:-
Club President – Andrew Mason
Vice President – Marvin Curnuck
Treasurer – Cassandra Wetherspoon
Secretary – Perry Davis
Club advisor positions are held by Leeann Middleton & Anthony Egrets
District heads remain unchanged
Rockhampton – Marvin Curnuck
Mackay – Raymond Scuderi
Gladstone – Brett Phillips
Bundaberg – no assignment
The hunt unearthed many great treasures. In the gallery, we will show some of the best.
Dan’s silver “Great Seal” Officer’s ring adornment
Anthony’s “Power Line Worker’s” Badge……still has a complete pin!
Issac’s kangaroo badge from “International Harvesters”
Brendon’s trench art penny on it’s way to being a Victory Token.
Perry’s “Key” cut from an Australian Commonwealth Penny.

This has always been a popular weekend with our club members, this year having a date change though. We used to hold this event in February, but a winter date was found to be very favorable to our members
