Date -Saturday 4th Dec. Vulcan-ic Xmas Games

Where - Brian and Barb's

Time - 5pm, games starting 5.45pm

Hang onto your helmet and get your laughing gear tuned up, our Xmas event is coming. This year we are going with a slightly different theme for our get together, we will be hosting our own motorcycle themed "Vulcan-ic Games" followed by a BBQ. These games are not to strenuous but are sure to provide a few laughs and the aim is for everyone to have a good time. We will also be having the usual Kris Kringle with those wishing to participate bringing a $10 present per person. If you don't want to join in the games you will be asked to to help with the setting up and umpiring duties, we will also need a photographer, there are sure to be some good photo opportunities. Upon arrival, if you are participating you will be asked to pick a disc from a hat, this will place you in one of the following teams, The Nomads, The Classics or The Meanstreaks. You will then be given a team hat, ideally we need about 4-5 members per team. The games we are playing are;

1 - Where are my Keys

2 - Rewire the Bike

3 - The Radiators leaking

4 - Honey I'm Late for the Ride

Points will be awarded to teams for each game, with champagne prizes presented at the end of the games. We will then have our BBQ and Kris Kringle. I would suggest wearing some old, loose gear for the games and bring a change of clothes for the Barby if you wish. I know the game titles don't give much away but full details will be forwarded to you as we get closer to the event, they are easy, trust me, I'm a Gynacologist.

Meet - Caltex servo, 375 Great Eastern Hwy, Midvale

Time - 8.15 onwards, departing 8.45 am

This ride has been organised and will be led by Andy and Chris, its kind of a shakedown to prepare them and the new bike for the big trip they have planned later in the year. Of course this doesn't mean it will be any less fun than any of our other away trips, it just gives us a good reason to log some miles on the machines.....you beauty. Day one sees us ride out to Kalgoolie with an overnight stay, next day is a bit more casual and will see us overnight again in Esperance. Day 3 for some of us is a run back to Perth or if you want to use the extra day, head further around the coast. Accommodation is to be booked as per the details sent to you, just let me know once you are booked. Looks like being a great ride and is already well supported..... so come on people lets meet the Easter bunny out yonder.
