I'm out.    A rather crook back is being slow to get better, and I'm not sure I can sit and drive that far.

 

I have some pretty strong meds left over from my back op, I could bring 'em for you.

One extra for the dinner. Phil Chick.  Looking forward to a catch up

I went to school with a Phil Chick.  Is he from Melbourne NE suburbs?

 

It looks like that we have attending:

• Michael
• Bodø
• Supafrog
• Marcus (in pencil)
• West Aussie Glen
• JD & Chippy
• Stroppy
• Nigel
• Phil & Kate
• Peter McLaren
• Fossil - Lindsay
• ppopeye and Chris
• StinkyPete
• Rex & Debbie
• Pete McDonald
• PC & Navgirl
• Phil Chick

[West Aussie Glen]

Facebook page says 04 6855 1666

That worked, thank you.
Unfortunately I had trouble explaining what I wanted to the lady on the phone.
It is a worry that they haven't changed their number on their website.

.... Unfortunately I had trouble explaining what what I wanted to the lady on the phone.

With me it was the poor English speaking cook (as best I could make out).

It is a worry that they haven't changed their number on their website.

The email address is old as well, it was bookings@shamrockbalranald.com.au on their website that I had problems with (no response to emails).

[Bodø]

I prefer to ride well and stay safe.

[Jdbiker]

Put it anyway you like 👍🤓

[Bodø]

See you next week.

[Langers]

Have a great ride and catch-up. But for events some 30 years ago I'd be joining you, so we're off to Pt Lincoln - God parents to a young lady getting married. I was going to suggest to Julie that we contact them and get the wedding postponed for a week or two - but thought better of it.

No sense of adventure, Mark!

Hi all, I`m out for this one.
Took a fall at work today, and compressed my new knee further that it should go.
Thus a Sh1p load of swelling.
I`ve rang Michael and sent him a PM, as I was travelling with him.
Just have to stay home with the ice packs again.
Stay safe all.

[ruSTynutz]

Bugger, fingers crossed, with a few days resting up combined with the ice you'll be back up and running (so to speak) in the not-too-distant future!

Take care, Nige...and stay off the turps!

cheers

Hi all, unfortunately due to a family issue I have had to cancel my trip to Balranald. Bike is washed, wet weather
Gear laid out and I  was looking forward to meeting up and getting to know each other but not to be, hopefully another time.

Emailed the Balranald District Ex-Services Memorial Club this PM, booked dinner for 16 to 18.  Received confirmation from Jules that we are booked in the dinning room.

I'm heading off in around 12 hours, overnight at the Royal Mail Hotel in Wycheproof, see youse sometime after lunch on Satdee.

Who's bringing the flags?  I've got the VIC flag packed, as well as a coffee mug for Brock (via WAG) and a NatRally Pack for Supafrog.
