If you plan to attend. For those wishing to ride to Orange there will be a group leaving on Friday, Great weekend! Paul reminded those present of two upcoming rides, the first ride to Kurrajong on Sat 6th, for morning tea at the café opposite the Garden centre. Paul noted the restraunt seemed to be closed down on a recent visit, in this is the case an alternate venue in Kurrajong would be chosen. The second on Sun14th to Brooklyn lookout, then to the “Pie in the Sky café” for morning tea. March rides as published in the Clatter. Gordon Mitchell advised other rides as per Calendar, Gordon asked members who are prepared to be contacted for help in the event of another member breaking down on a ride to contact him for inclusion of contact details on a published list or enter the contact details on the website. Hopefully the Thursday ride south from the Deep-water motorboat club will be on as scheduled, questionable weather forecast. Meeting points for rides to be correctly identified on a list, to be published in the clatter for new members who are unfamiliar with our terms of reference. (E.g.: Ettamogha Macca’s = McDonalds car park on Windsor road, Rouse Hill, opposite the Ettamogha Hotel) Trevor Murray advised members that the Rylston Ramble is being organized for the last weekend of April, and is limited by the accommodation available at the hotel, details to be confirmed and published in the clatter.
