Report Terry Ryan PhotosHolt


Another successful rallywith the weather being very kind and our
entrants enjoying good rides and good company; nice to see a growing number
of Queenslanders coming along. Friday afternoon saw us leave rally base at
Grafton Showground for a leisurely ride to Copmanhurst after the initial plan to
go to Jackadgary had to be abandoned due to road works. We returned to base
for a meet & greet and sausage sizzle.
On Saturday morning about 90 bikes left base to travel alongside the Clarence,
over the river on the Bluff Point ferry at Lawrence then on to Maclean Lookout
for morning tea followed by entrants choice judging and lunch at the Brushgrove
Hotel where the new (he’d been there just 6 days) publican and his wife and
staff did a great job to feed the hungry horde. The Saturday night dinner was at
Grafton District Services Club where we were looked after as usual with an
excellent meal and held the usual presentations and tombola raffle. On Sunday
morning a good number of entrants rode to Wooli to take part in the annual Kids
With Cancer weekend that the
Wooli community put on.
The club would like to thank
our sponsors, particularly
Shannons Insurance, and
all the entrants and club
members who combined to
make a great weekend.
