The club, which started more than 40 years ago in Australia, was supposed to receive representatives from chapters all across the country in Toowoomba today.

But the organisation announced yesterday it would instead only be able to invite members from Queensland and northern New South Wales, due to the tough border closures.

“It will be a time of renewing friendships and catching up, a time for club business to be discussed and decided on, a time for stories to be told, achievements awarded, and motorcycle gymkhana events to be contested,” the club said.

Members and partners will gather at the Toowoomba clubhouse in Drayton at 5.30pm and then ride to the event’s location.

The God’s Squad CMC was established in the early 1970s in Sydney, and was then centred in

Melbourne under the direction of the late Dr John Smith.
