PRESIDENTS REPORT
Since the last meeting on 12 March
I along with a number of members, and a very good number of motorcyclists attended the Hogs Cogs and Two Aussie Flogs. Roads Rally on the Civic Green on Saturday 21 March
I was interviewed by Fitzmedia and Channel 7 Regional News took a few words from it. Local ABC radio also interviewed me and played the full interview on the Monday morning following the rally. Not sure the Rally had any effect. But it felt good to be there.
As I have been away a bit, but managed to go on some Thursday and Sunday rides including the Black Dog Ride and the Murray to Moyne.
Before Club rides I have been handing out Motorcycle Crash Cards.
I also gave out a number of them at the Club Social night at the RSL on 9 April, which was a very well attended by members
Thanks to Elaine for arranging this enjoyable night.
