Hi guys.
Quite a successful month. To kick off the Wallaby Rally ended up very successful with 31 entries. Thanks to all those people that attended and to our members for organizing both runs. We struck an awesome day and a perfect venue. A surprise at our last meeting with the return of Steve and Bill after recovering from their illness. Great to have you guy's back on board again.
Thanks to Trevor Peter Bland ,Suzanne and helpers for preparing and cooking the BBQ for lunch after the scooter run. The run started with 9 entries and ended up with 7 completing the run. Approximately 77kms of back roads and good scenery. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The sausage sizzle was much appreciated at the end along with some tall stories and conversation. Last but not least thanks to Tony and Isabell for being our back Cheers guy's.
Thanks to those members that have entered in the Bushtown show,6 cars and 3 Motorbikes .Hope you have a great weekend.
That's it for this month. We need a Club run l think Bring your ideas to the next meeting please.
Cheers Owen
Next meeting is 20th March 7.30pm.
