-Junio - 2018- 2 MotoGP Tipping Comp 4thd & 5th round report/results Start made on updating CDDC website MV to return to MotoGP Yasou, I am thinking I am getting to soft for this job for a couple of reasons. 1) The other night we had a committee meeting at my place to discuss our website(again) and I started to shiver when a few of the boys turned up on their bikes!!! One of them said he didn’t ride because it’s not raining and not cold enough ( mad max Rod ). 2) NSW gave Qld a good touch up in the State of Origin and I neglected to give that back door member in Qld , Tooooony Yeend a bit of his treatment back!!! As I said getting soft.

Greetings all, I know I am not necessarily new to this role, but some of you may not know me that well. You would be the lucky ones. I thought that, with the recent decline in the activity of rides, I would take the time to introduce myself. So, without wasting any more real estate, here goes: I am a recent member to the club (coming up on one year), and am in this role due to being shang-hai'd by Steve Hopkins, former Events Coordinator, and Ken Sarge' Purbrick, VP. I got mine back on both of them. I have tried to keep up with providing variety and entertainment (I don't tap dance though), and want to keep providing interesting options for members. To this end I need help from members; if you have an idea or request for a ride, please let me know what you want to do and I will do my best to help you get your ride out there. I hope to see as many of you out there enjoying yourselves as possible! Stay sticky side down. Rhys coordinated rider (I think) Note: The event start times & venues are subject to change – make sure you confirm latest event info on the website @ https://www.cddc.org.au/ The CDDC provides funds for a support vehicle & recovery trailer on sanctioned club rides like the Harrietville, Khancoban runs & Bevels to the Bay run each year. See other comments re the funding of support vehicles & trailer on CDDC club rides in this newsletter. Ride/event ideas If you would like to lead a ride of your choice or have a suggestion for a ride, please email [email protected]. Aside from these planned rides, I encourage everyone to start events via the club website or Facebook page for casual short rides. I also encourage everyone to let me know if you have an idea for a day, evening, or longer ride. I will be putting a system in place to ensure that I can give everyone a little something that they want. Information on this will be shared at the Club's General Meeting on Monday 13 November 2017. Let me know if you have anything else you would like me to elaborate on. Rhys << Upcoming CDDC events for your diary >> 1st Saturday each month CMC ride. Meet at 10am 1 December 2018 – CDDC 40th Anniversary Dinner – see details in this newsletter << Upcoming non-CDDC events for your diary >> << AMCA Antique Bike Weekend at Bulli >> Attention Ducati owners, racing enthusiasts and motorcyclists in general. Its now 40 years since the late great Mike Hailwood won the Isle Of Man TT on the 900ss Ducati. This incredible feat came about through an Australian "Jim Scaysbrook", and an Australian race, "The Castrol Six Hour". You can see the Hailwood 6-hour bike and listen to Hailwood's co-rider and motorcycle legend, Jim Scaysbrook tell how he lured Mike Hailwood out of retirement, and unwittingly, put into place the greatest motorcycle fairytale of all time. Where and when? - the 25th of August, 2018 at the AMCA Antique Bike Weekend at Bulli!
