e can all remember a time when Bill’s mention of a service day was greeted by the general membership with about as much excitement as receiving the over 50’s bowel cancer test kit in the mail - yes it is important and must be done, but hard to get really thrilled about unless something is already leaking out the back. Then along came Rob who offered up his world-class Jimboomba facilities for the service days - calling it a workshop is a bit like calling Michelangelo’s David a nice bit of marble. A few years on from the first Jimboomba service day and the general membership wait with bated breath for the announcement of the next - these days Bill stands up at the General Meetings like Juan Antonio Samaranch stood to announce the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000. Not only does Rob provide his excellent facilities with everything that a BMW motorcycle owner could want or need, his generosity has been way beyond expectation with legendary food and a great atmosphere that has turned the service days into a major club event. Once people started showing up to the service days having forgotten to bring their motorcycle, it was clear that Rob’s outstanding and selfless contribution deserved recognition. Thank you very much Rob!
