The clean up will begin at 9.30am at each site, and Council will be holding a free lunchtime BBQ at Marsden Weir at the conclusion to thank volunteers. A volunteer barbecue will also be held at Marulan.

“JUST TRIVIA”

A smaller but no less enthusiastic crowd attended the last Just Trivia challenge and enjoyed a great evening.

Mary devised a couple of new games which were hotly contested, much to the amusement of a few fence sitters. The trivia was a great test of memory and imagination and the result in doubt until the last round when Albert Stockford’s team won by ½ point. The table round “States” was of course won by the team that Chuck was on with a perfect 50. I’m not sure who won “Flags” but there were some weird and wonderful answers.

A lovely supper followed and a great night was capped off with the sound of the rain on the iron roof.

Hopefully we shall be able to hold another challenge in a couple of months’ time and those of you who were unable to come in February will be able to join in the fun.

Ride for Life The first ride for life that the classic rider's club held was on the 9th July 2006, this ride was to raise money for the New South Wales Cancer Council.

The ride drew over 50 motorcycles despite the cold wintry conditions. It was an open invitation to any one that had an RTA registered bike. We did a loop of the Goulburn district and then returned to Belmore Park for a morning tea which consisted of some very tasty goodies all kindly donated by Baker's Delight, Mr. Puffin and some very handy cooks.

All we asked was that everyone made a donation to the cancer council box. We managed to raise $2500 to donate to the Cancer Council of New South Wales.

Due to the success of this ride, it has been recom-mended that we hold another one.

This ride will be held on

Sunday the 22nd April 2007. Hopefully weather conditions will be more favourable, and the riding distance has also been extended by popular demand.

The ride will start with all meeting at the park for a briefing, then will depart for the Braidwood road which will lead us into Tarago, where we will connect to Sandy Point road through to Windellama and then along the Oallen Ford road to the Rural Fire Station at Windellama. The Rural Fire Brigade has kindly donated the use of their fire station for our morning tea.

Please feel free to attend Belmore park or the Fire Station Windellama to preview the bikes as they range form vintage to modern; and while you’re there if you could find it in your heart to put your hand in your pocket and make a donation it would be greatly appreciated.

Rider's can donate as well as gain sponsorship to help raise that little bit extra. All we ask is that your bike is RTA registered.

To register or for more details contact: Jamie McGaw on 0428334857 or Bronwyn Temple on 0438285207.

We are the primary point of contact in the Capital Region for the Australian Government’s Regional Partnerships program.
