Member Profile - T28675 Jacqueline & Des

Des & Jacqueline started their motor home escapades around 2000 when they had their first camper a “pop top”. In 2003 they upgraded to a Mercedes 140D a more comfortable and modern pop top.
Initially they simply travelled around as campervanners, but had no involvement with Chapters although they were members of the CMCA from the start.
When the advertisement appeared for the formation of the Dalrymple Drifters they decided it was time to “check” a Chapter out. They are inaugural members of the Dalrymple Drifters with Des being elected a Committee member at the formation meeting.

At our first AGM, Des was re-elected as a committee person and Jacqueline was elected at Chapter Secretary.

Des is retired and spent the last 20 years of his work life with Brambles as an “operations supervisor”. Since retirement he has an interest in “limo” driving for weddings.
Jacqueline is a keen crafts lady who gets involved in many aspects of craft including, quilting, crocheting, knitting and other aspects of needle work. She is also a keen reader.
They have 3 grown up children and have been married 50 years this year (2007).
They travel to the mainland on occasions and enjoy mixing with other motor homers when ever possible. Des and Jacqueline live in Launceston Tasmania.
