Paul Hughes Vice President’s Report

Not an awful lot to report this month. A fair bit of work involved in gaining support for the 100 Years celebrations from both BMW Clubs Australia and BMW Motorrad Australia. Like any large organisation getting everyone onboard takes a while. I think we are starting to show some real success here.

The Celebration dinner bookings are coming along. The club web page (in the 100 Year Celebration section) is the way you reserve a place at the table.

I have had some fabulous riding out in the Scenic Rim, especially on the return from the Cane Toad Rally. As soon as I get this journal put to bed, I will be out doing more riding in the hills. Big thanks to Darryl and Gary for organising another very successful CTR. Along with all the volunteer helpers, this shows what a great club we really have.

I note from the media we have unfortunatedly had a pick up in the rate of motorcycle accidents again. Stay safe out there guys. Hospitals don’t look to be a fun place to me.

cheers

Paul

Darryl Gowlett Treasurer’s Report

G’day Everyone,

We’ve had a busy month, the steed and I. Another enjoyable and successful Cane Toad Rally, where the temperature was mild, then a venture to the icebox known as the Ruptured Budgie Rally hosted by the Guzzi Club.

I’ve still managed time to keep the books. There’s 29 punters booked in for the 100 year celebratory dinner so far, of which we’ve had to subsidise PayPal $50 for the privilege. We had 289 punters at the Cane Toad and raised $950 for the RFDS, with another $500 coming from a retiring club in Monto, the Bunyips. It’s good to know our reputation is untarnished when it comes to raising funds for our charity.

Until next month, ciao, Darryl
