Captain's Report April 2015

Midweek PM Ride 11-3-2015

23 Riders 1 Passenger

Despite numerous groans because Donnybrook

was todays destination where people participat-

ing in the two day rally visited several times

over the course of the weekend, the group head-

ed off ably led by Neville G. on a Bernie in-

spired route, Ye Olde Capel/Tutunup Rd!, Bob

Brittain joined the ride today but had the misfor-

tune stop to his bike on Ludlow/Hithergreen Rd

and couldn't restart. Carty tried push start but

gave up as a bad joke and towed Bob and his

bike to start. Once started there was no stopping

consequently any afternoon tea for Bob.

After goodies in a couple of cafe`s and wishing

John & Tracy bon voyage for the caravan trek,

the group broke up and headed in a few different

directions home.

Busso Boys 18-3-2015 12 Riders

Weather not looking good however, 12 hardy

souls turned up. Decision was made to ride to

Capel bakery which made Darryl's eyes light up.

With Darryl the leader and Terry tail end charley

we headed along Layman Rd, detouring around

some road works to Tuart Dr. onto Ludlow Rd

Nth, Roberts Rd, Bussell Hwy Bentley Dr, Rail-

way Rd and the a meander round the back streets

of Capel to the bakery where we all enjoyed

some goodies. Our return journey was roughly

the same, calling into Peppermint Grove Beach

for a short stop.

Midweek AM 25-3-2015 21 Riders 1 Passen-

ger

Perfect day for a ride, Neville G. herded the

group meandering around Gelorup, West Dar-

danup, Boyanup, Crooked Brook, Ferguson,

Henty, Burekup, To Forrest Hwy and then onto

Eaton where Margaret G, Lyn, Fay and I had the

pies, sausage rolls ready and waiting as well as

other stuff. After almost eating everything the

group left about 1130.

ONCE AGAIN RIDERS DON’T WAIT AT

CORNERS FOR FOLLOWING BIKES. Please consider riders who are not as familiar

with the surrounding areas as you may be.

Busso Ride Report 1/4/2015

We had 21 bikes turn up for the ride on a mag-

nificent autumn day although a bit on the chilly

side at the start. We had 1 new visitor and 4 rid-

ers from Bunbury, there were 10 club eligible

bikes also President Bob was there to see us off.

(He couldn’t come with us as he had some busi-

ness to attend to in Busso)

We headed off down Chapman Hill Rd R into

Doyle Rd L at Queen Elizabeth and Payne Rd, L

into Jindong Treeton Rd, R at Rosa Brook Rd, L

into Rosa Glen Rd to the Berry Farm for Morn-

ing Coffee break

where we enjoyed delicious coffee, jam cream

and scones.

We then headed South, R into Davis Rd, and L at

Bussell Hwy stoping at Karridale for fuel and

waiting for a few riders that went via Warner

Glen Rd for a bit longer ride.

Heading South again to Augusta and the new

boat harbour, we all agreed that the new harbour

was a magnificent set up, well finished, a credit

to the builders.

We then headed back to Karridale for lunch,

heading home via Caves Rd, Cowaramup Rd,

Bussell Hwy, Treeton Rd, Jindong Treeton Rd,

Payne Rd and Queen Elizabeth Rd arriving at

Busselton about 3 PM, a very enjoyable day was

had by all.

Glen Britza Run 12-4-2015

This run had been postponed for a couple of

weeks, so it was disappointing to see the wet

weather settling in for a few days prior to the

event. However on the day there were just a few

showers about with lengthy fine spells. Obvious-

ly most members thought it looked pretty good

as we had 34 riders and 1 passenger arrive for

the start at the Entertainment Centre.

Glen Britza had prepared the route and was busy

handing out route sheets. The ride was broken

up into 2 legs with the first taking us to the Wel-

lington Dam for a 15 minutes break. We trav-

elled through the Ferguson Valley and Pile Road

and used the recently sealed Falcon Road to the

dam. After the break we travelled back across

the dam and Falcon Road but turned up Lennard

Drive to the top of the hill. We then made our

way down Henty Road to the SW Highway, then

across to Leschenault.

It's worth mentioning here that we went via Al-

ma Road which is a well-known dairy area -

which, combined with a bit of rain, equals brown

coloured motorcycles! Anyhow we made it to

Neville & Margaret Greens' place where they

had prepared morning tea / lunch with a great

variety of food and drinks. The weather here was

now sunny and very pleasant so most people

stayed a while enjoying the food and others

company. Many thanks to Glen, Neville and

Margaret and all the other volunteers that helped

make the day a good one.

Licensing Officers Report.

Jeff Smith thanked all those examiners who had

inspected machines. There had been in excess of

400 machines 20 machines still remaining unli-

censed. There has been 20 letters sent to mem-

bers who had not had their machines inspected,

of those 15 members have responded to Jeff’s

letters.

There still remain 15 machines not as yet bought

to be inspected.

Jeff has put in a huge effort to encourage these

members who have not responded to his com-

munications and he now considers the Club

should have them struck off as Club members by

evoking the Constitution .The committee to dis-

cuss his request. His request was generally sup-

ported by the members present at the meeting.

tivities, which resulted in the following:

Total income $38,937.45

Net income negative positive $1,196.24

Thanks Glenda for a job well done.

President’s Report

Another year has already passed, and it is time

for the AGM.

This year has had its downs and ups, with the

first fatality occurring whilst conducting a club

run. This has put extra pressure on the committee

members as they try to ensure that it is not re-

peated.

The year has also seen the 40th running of the

Two Day Rally, which by all accounts was very

enjoyable and very successful.

The IHC, as a club is progressing along comfort-

ably with new member applications being pro-

cessed, it seems every month.

To comply with the 404 licensing requirements,

the committee is looking at ways to involve more

members within its activities, as it seems that

some members are only joining to take ad-

vantage of the licensing concession. I urge all

members to support the club activities as this is a

requirement of the 404 concession. We only see

1/3 of members throughout the year at activities.

To the new President, I wish whomever it is, the

support of the club, and say that I will be able to

help, if needed.To the rest of the elected commit-

tee you have my support.

Finally I must thank the ladies, who have sup-

ported the club at functions, with their catering.

Also to the committee members that have sup-

ported me during my time as President, and last-

ly all club members that have attended the activi-

ties during the year and generally supported the

club.

Captain’s Report

In what has been a very eventful year for the

club, there was an increase to approx. 60 rides

this year due to Pre-48, Busso Boys and Mandu-

rah Mob having designated runs. We also tried a

couple of new places to have midweek am rides

which worked out. With the weather being

Page 8: ISSUE MAY 2015 - Wild Apricot · 2015-04-24 · Laurence stood in place, Nil report. Captain's Report April 2015 Midweek PM Ride 11-3-2015 23 Riders 1 Passenger Despite numerous groans

generally kind on ride days there were not many

really damp days however, there were some pret-

ty hot rides.

The most spectacular ride I think was Roy's ride

where 49 bikes and 12 passengers descended on

Murray Coopers to view his collection of re-

stored petrol bowsers after which the group trav-

elled to Muriel Melvin's for lunch. In all there

were approx. 75 people who honoured Roy that

day which was greatly appreciated by the family.

The 40th Two Day Rally was huge success. I

think it will be hard to top this particular year’s

event.

As always no event would be possible without

the continued support of the hardworking volun-

teers, THANK YOU.

In conclusion I would like to thank everyone

who has participated in the club, also thanks to

people who have had input into ride ideas and

supported me throughout the year.

Librarian’s Report. Nil to repor t

Publicity Officer

Another successful Xmas Charity Ride was held

on 13th December 2013. A lovely summer’s day

with a turnout of 330 bikes starting at Capel

10.00 am.

Led by Santa in a sidecar the procession of bikes

left Capel and proceeded down Bussell Highway

turning off to collect more bikes at Dalyellup

Park then went down Ocean Drive and eventual-

ly gathering at the Foreshore Inlet opposite

B.R.E.C.

After much needed refreshments our newly ap-

pointed Bunbury City Mayor Mr Gary Brennan

greeted and thanked everyone for their support

of cash donations, food items and Xmas gifts.

The cash raised on the day came to $3,300 and

was presented to Salvation Army Officer Major

Trevor Wilson. The cash would be used to make

up food hampers and to buy Xmas gifts to go to

the less fortunate people of Bunbury and sur-

rounding areas.

I have enjoyed being Publicity Officer these past

2 years and have learnt a great deal.

I thank the Members of the Committee and Club

Members for their support, help and guidance.

Licensing Liaison Officer

Another eventful year come and gone – sadly

again as I pointed out last year a lack of mem-

bers willing to put their hand up to assist in the

running of the club. This makes it difficult for

the few hard working members to shoulder all

the workload of what is becoming a very busy

organisation.

We finished this year with 38 Machines on A

class, 336 on B class and 2 Specials. Ray Buck

and I have had busy year in processing 47 new

registrations through the Department of

Transport and a few bikes have left the club or

the member handed their plates in. These have

been replaced by the hard working, inspired and

dedicated restorers in our club which has main-

tained the number of bikes on our register. Many

of these restorations are pure “works of art” and

there never seems to be a shortage of raw materi-

als still out there waiting to be touched by their

“magic wands” - Well done to you all!

There are changes coming to the Licensing Cate-

gory Concession 404 which covers our bikes that

are 25 Years or older. These will be detailed in

full when the Department of Transport in con-

junction with the CMCC issues the updated in-

formation booklet. IHC Members will be kept

informed of the effects of these changes as soon

as the laws

are passed through parliament – until then, NO

CHANGES can be initiated and rumours that

other clubs have already changed are seen by the

D.O.T. as ”jumping the gun” . The IHC commit-

tee has worked through them in regard to the

Constitutional effects so we will be ready to act

as soon as we are given the green light.

2014 Examination Day in February this year

proved to be a bit slower than last year but as

usual was carried out with professional enthusi-

asm by our hard working team of Scrutineers and

was well supported by the ACTIVE members of

the club. However there was it was a significant

number of INACTIVE Members that required a

waste of valuable time and club resources chas-

ing up errant/ lost or missing members without

current Roadworthy Certificates.

In closing I would like to thank the President and

the Committee, a very special thankyou to Ray

Buck for all his hard work, encouragement and

enthusiasm for the job over many years. Last but

not least, all the Scrutineers for their support that

makes my job a pleasure.

Website Manager

During the last year we have added interactive

forms to our site that have allowed us to offer

online applications and payments for events like

the Two Day Rally and also membership pay-

ments. We have also started a Facebook page

that allows us to offer an alternative to using our

main website for displaying photos and posts.

Members who have a Facebook account can post

photos, videos and comments directly to the

page.

Unfortunately we have been informed by our

website service provider My Southwest of their

intention to close the service in September. Alt-

hough this is an unwelcome development, it does

present the club with the opportunity to look at

how our website, online and manual payments

and back office systems interact and to consider-

our future requirements. There may be a period

of disruption in our services whilst any upgrades

take place. Our Facebook page will continue as

normal.
