Old Gold motorcycles at Londonderry has been recommended to be very good to do business with (Parts, Wreckers, Vintage Jap contacts and Museum) Jason Burton has proposed that we approach Old Gold motorcycles about advertising in our club magazine. Bernie asked if we have made any progress on the MCNSW insurance issues with regard to Machine Examiners. Kim has responded that he has approached MCNSW to seek permission to contact the insurance broker AON to get the policy wordings of our insurance. Jason Burton asked on behalf of an Illawarra member about why the CEMCC imposes a 10KM limit for "Road Testing" bikes registered under the Conditional Registration scheme. Members are advised to contact the permits officer if a longer road test is required so it can be entered into the official day book. This issue will be referred to the committee at the next committee meeting.

Can I say that I have enjoyed every minute in this role - it's been a wonderful ride! I would encourage each and every member to consider serving their club in an official capacity, at least once. I now wish to take this opportunity to say a few words about the Club: The Club's Future. The club has now grown to well over 500 members and has a very bright future - it is testament to past efforts and the anticipation of future efforts that this club will remain strong for many, many years to come. The Club's Organisers. Think of our club organisers as prize winning classic motorcycles, people only really see the "end results" and often don't consider the many hours of hard work, preparation and persistence that goes into those "end results".
