Roxburgh

**scumdog** · 26th June 2004, 19:38

Who out there is going on the fund-raising ride to Roxburgh next weekend? Organised by the S.H.8 crew, money goes to the Roxburgh Childrens Health Camp, no tenting, swimming pool and the best of company - (well I'll be there but Chrissy_Bimbo a.k.a. Mrs S.D will be operating the handbrake - not!!

) not too far from the wine-growing areas so what more can you say.

For you non-Mainlander types the location is less than two hours from the Brass Monkey site so I guess we ain't going to need sunblock & jandals

I take it from the lack of replies that (a) Nobody from this site is going to Roxburgh or (b) Nobody fron this site is going to Roxburgh AND is motivated to reply?

Do the organisers REALY know what they have let themselves in for inviting the likes of you, or are they that desperate for people

to attend?

Could be worse - YOU might have been going there

Anyway, I uphold a very high standard of behaviour and decorum

Going by some of the posting you have had on here I suspect that there are some folk that would argue that last statement!!

Never mind CCL, you can be up there with the single malt snobs instead

Yeah, you would enjoy yourself at this rally, sleeping in bunks and a roast dinner, plus of course top company!!
Last year was the initial rally and the weather was that bad (ice, snow etc.) that a lot (me included) didn't get there and some had to take 4X4s (not you Kandallah Klatterer types either) to get there but apparently there was still a good turnout and the Health Camp got quite a good donation out of it, keeping fingers crossed the roads are o.k this Saturday

Sounds fun and I'm a Southern Lass anyway so I know all about the type of hospitality I'd get

Never mind I'm planning a trip down when it's a bit warmer so maybe I can say 'Gidday' then.

Hey, CCL, give us a private message or whatever it's called and let me know when you are coming down and I'll arrange for accomadation etc.

Despit any rumours the hospitality down here is top-knotch and everybody is welcome.

Its on again this year and I've just sent in my entry. Reports from previous years suggest its just too good to miss, so come on all you KBers and make it a weekend for the kids to remember.

If I get the RE5 back on the road in time it will be a good wee run for it.

**scumdog** · 26th June 2005, 13:11

Yep, I'll be there with C.B. again

I posted of a message on this thread earlier today but it kinda 'evaporated'?

Hope the weather unchills a little, well enough that I can take the bike - other years the nervous types have arrived in their cages.

Top rally and the profits go back to the kids health camp.

**Jantar** · 26th June 2005, 13:28

You can take the bike irrespective of the weather, after all you are only an hour down the road. Mrs J has declined to come so it looks like I'll be solo. Just hope its the RE5 and not the GS.
