                                                The new itinerary for October to January has been compiled and will be available by the end of the month. Some highlights will be:-

·        The GP BBQ at Ray Walker’s in Sunbury.

·        Christmas Camp at Porepunkah.

·        Melb. Cup weekend to Orbost/Walwa.

·        Australia Day weekend at Walwa Resort.

                                               

                                                The Club has plans for a tour of Tasmania in February 2003, as with the introduction of the new twin ferries prices have dropped to promote this new service. An indication from members of who would be prepared to go is required, as this will tell us if we have the numbers for a group discount.

                                                Another option is to team up with other motorcycle clubs who plan the same trip. eg CARA (Mornington Motorcycles) are planning to leave on the 14th of Feb. and we may tag along. After a show of hands we have about 8-10 people prepared to go – Committee will investigate.

                                               

Door Prize:                             Door prizes drawn and supper commenced.
