65th Anniversary Rally
Due to the presence of Covid-19 in Australia and the ongoing instances of Community Transmissions, we have decided to postpone the 65th Anniversary Rally.
Many entrants come from interstate and given the propensity for State Governments to lock borders with little notice, travellers are very reticent to make commitments in the current climate. The possibility of quarantine, at very short notice, will affect our numbers and may result in a loss of deposits. As we need accurate numbers to secure accommodation, merchandise and food requirements, the lack of confidence to make travel plans while Covid is still around, will affect our ability to deliver an inclusive rally, so we have chosen to defer.
With a review of the situation later on in the year, we can only hope that this will be presented in 2022.
regards – Mike Canty, Chairperson of 65th Anniversary Committee

This run is designed to encourage small capacity motorcycles and veterans, but all motorcycles are welcome for the challenge. Riders can enjoy a leisurely and less stressful pace riding along reasonably flat country roads, with a few slight rises to challenge and keep riders awake.

We then turn LEFT towards Cockatoo Valley, then turn right to Lyndoch for the 2nd stop at the large car park for the main refreshments and toilets break.
Riders then will travel along the Lyndoch Valley road through WILLIAMSTOWN turning right arriving back at the Kersbrook Community Clubrooms for a
BBQ Lunch (2 courses and a drink) – Members $5 each per member and Partners $5.
PLEASE NOTE that if the forecast maximum for the day is 36c or above the ride section of the event will be cancelled, but the luncheon will still gose ahead as it is being catered for.
Go for a drive there in your car instead.
In case of a CATASTROPHIC FIRE BAN the whole event will be cancelled.
Regards—Ian Hese your “beloved” Club Captain
