Once payment is confirmed you will receive in the mail an entry badge. Please clip or pin the badge onto yourself in a visible area on the day. Security will be present to look after the bikes and an eye out for gate crashers.

So if you are interested just let me know- send me along a message via PM. It is a fairly open invite but pre-pay ticket purchases are the way it's getting done so that we know numbers (for food etc) and also so that people coming are people we actually know. :drinknsin

Event on rain or shine - just if rain the bike show is off and pre-pay ticket slips will be drawn in a raffle.


If you would like to go or need more details just send me a message via PM and can tell you venue also

Just an update - the event badges being sold on the day I believe will cost $11 each for those who want them.

They will be cloth stitched badges, roughly business card size.

Image attached is something similar to what they will look like but will be a bit different once I have time (minus the blue line things).

Just two weeks left to buy tickets!

We now have a club bank account so tickets can be paid online now. Just send me a PM if you would like to come along.

Party party party :wari:

Seems people are having trouble depositing money into the account for the birthday bash.

I will have to go to the bank tomorrow and see what the problem is. It may be still activating or something, or waiting for Jeremy (V. President) to come in and sign some paperwork as the co-signer for the account.

I apologise for the problem.

ONE WEEK LEFT TO BUY TICKETS

Go on, I can't email invites to all of you individually! :P

Good ol' biker gathering, there will be plenty of familiar faces.

Also just had word - we now will have a professional photographer on site who will be taking photos of the festivities and also he will be more than happy to take photos of you with your bike. I will talk to him a bit more - we may even set up a back dropped area for people to pose with their bikes.

Cant make it I'm afraid. Got to work for the man that Saturday.

Sounds like it could be a bit of fun though.

MET service says rain is clearing tomorrow.

And even with a bit of rain, please keep in mind the venue has a veranda that a fair number of bikes can be lined up under. I'd really like to give away these prizes in a BIKE SHOW and not a raffle so please try to bring your bikes.

Also, if you plan on getting tanked, the venue is happy to arrange a taxi or I will arrange a ride for you. If you come by bike and get tanked, I have a bit of storage for bikes on my property, both covered and uncovered. Please be safe, but you are well covered if you want to let lose!


See you there.. PARTY PARTY PARTY!

I'd like to thank everyone who came. While the weather ended with only 3 bikes showing (and a 4th bike when some random saw the other three lined up) it didn't stop people from showing.

I think all up there was 25 people.

Congrads Rollestonchick and Imdying for winning the Jim Beam hat and shirts, and congrads Grubby and Raj for winning the $100 bar tabs. And of course congrads Kram for winning the bike cleaning voucher.

Here are just a few photos I took when it was just kicking off. I will have more photos later that were taken during the festivities.

See you all there again next year!

Here's another photo, this one taken by the professional photographer I had come.

Says he took only two photos though! Spent most of the time chatting and drinking! Doh!

Who is this handsome man?
