ULYSSES
THE first thing I have to mention is that all rides now leave at 9.30am, and that includes both Wednesday and any other rides. This departure is the Winter start date and runs from June 1 until August 31. Last week I lobbed down to Billy’s for a coffee at about 9.10am and there was no one there, all but Thommo had gone home to the warm fire and Thommo was down the road visiting his grand daughter. The net result - no ride last Wednesday. Meet and Greet on Saturday took place at the Commercial Club due to Mrs Billy (Annette) taking the weekend off to visit her uncle.
A few took advantage of the nice weather on Sunday to explore the district but nothing official. This Sunday, June 18 the ride will be to Narrandera, Darlinton Point, Whitton. Colinroobie and Coolamon, leaving McDonalds at 9.30am. On July 2 we will be visiting Young and Boorowa and on August 6 will be the annual trek to the Morundah Pub where we meet up with Griffith and Albury/ Wodonga for a sumptuous lunch.
The social team are busy organising Christmas in July for the 15th/16th and at this stage it looks as though it will be at the Culcairn Hotel. And on August 19, which is a Saturday, we are heading over to the Temora Aviation Museum where they will be holding a Flying Day.
Our next branch meeting will be on June 20 at the Radio Club Rooms in Small Street. Doors open at 7pm and the meeting gets under way at 7:30pm and with a bit of luck fellowship will get under way at 8pm.
Ride well, stay safe and have fun.
