I had a bit of a read back through the posts and I think I jinxed the show by this statement I made a coupla months ago.
"Remember Steps, this was going to be an alternative option for our ill-fated, rain affected, work commitment affected, cyclone affected, washed out road affected, public holiday affected, flood affected South east Queensland meet'n greet which was supposed to happen mid January. CLICK
With any kind of luck, there should be a good turnout as it's not in Cyclone, flood or storm season and a ways off from any public hols too.
Should be a great place to show & tell"

I'll just shut up now, in case it happens again.

From what I've been able to gather, the show was postponed due to the show society's, or the council instructions after a last minute inspection of the site. It was deemed too wet to host a bike show and they were told in no uncertain terms not to proceed with the show.
I'd say the CLQ boys will have copped a fair bit of flak over the last minute change, but it's not their fault. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a very hard place.
Despite the change of plans, Steptoe and myself still managed to have a very positive and enjoyable weekend. It's a pity more of the proposed attendees couldn't improvise like we did.
Keep your chin up, Bryan, and the CLQ chaps. Just let us know when the new date is, and we'll be there.
