Thanks everyone for your attendance at the 2023 National Rally in Mudgee.
We need to acknowledge the fantastic effort by Joso and Wilko for hosting our event.
This years Award winners,
An impromptu Rallies Silliest moment went to A2Z for his accidental mingling with the Morris Minor club also having a meet & greet at the same venue thinking these guys must be just OzSTOC members he hadn’t meet yet…..I believe he finally got wise when they didn’t share their chips with him. Then backs up the next morning being an honorary 1%er with his new found breakfast club friends from the Comancheros.
Furtherest Travelled to Rally: This to Gavo & Bronwyn from W.A with 4100 k’s to Rally, until this adventure Bronwyn's biggest ride was 500ks.
Most Charismatic ST: Was Judged by last years recipient Kev Murphy was awarded to Sulkybear for his well travelled black ST1100.
2023 Bike of the Year: Was judged by last years winner Wilko, he selected Biggles as a worthy recipient with a couple of other coming very close. It was the reflective tape on the rear of Bills bike that sealed the deal.
Member of the Year (MOTY) this year I judged a little differently to previous years. In the past we have looked at members who it is obvious is making a contribution to the group that is more in your face proactive. This year I looked at a person who does so much for our group in the background, keeps our forum pure and on course.
While I normally engage with the other couple of Mods on this decision it was a moderator that I really want to acknowledge as MOTY and be out of the blue….
Congratulations Brock from W.A who moderates our forum with care, compassion and a sense of community upholding the core values of our group.
Thanks again to everyone who attend, contributed and made for another great event.
