Club History
1985
In 1985, two couples who were keen Morris Minor enthusiasts decided a car club was needed on the south side of Brisbane. A call for a meeting to gauge the interest was placed in the newspapers together with flyers in the windows of local businesses.
Twenty-four people attended on the day and it was agreed to start a club called the “Brisbane Southside
1989
Easter 1989 saw many Club members travel to Toowoomba for the Morris Minor National Rally. This was a combined effort of five Morris Minor Clubs in Queensland and helped form close bonds with the other Clubs.
To commemorate the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Morris Minor, the Brisbane Southside Morris Minor Car Club (BSMMCC) was allowed to hold a display for ten days at the Brisbane Motor Show at the Convention Centre. It was a great opportunity for the Club and a huge success.
1993
In October 1993 it was decided to hold a Picnic and Display Day open to anyone who owned a Morris Minor, in any condition, to come along and mingle with other enthusiasts. The display day has continued to be held each year in October with invitations extended to other car club enthusiasts.
