Auto classic open day and BBQ 26 th Nov

[old betsy]

The BMW Club already has the reputation of being latte sippers, don't confirm it.

Prof D how could you take seriously the one or two bitter and twisted persons that spouse this ridiculous silly urban myth.

This myth you talk about Bill is very real in the real world of other motorcycle clubs.
You probably need to associate with more people to hear what is said.

This ridiculous silly urban myth is exactly that , amongst our club.
But out in the real world of other motorcycle clubs it is very real.
And it's something that needs to be addressed.

OB interesting opinion on what we are as a club.
[Del]. We have close to 200 members that have decided they want to be members and enjoy mixing socially and on rides with other like minded members.
This thread is getting way off track with addressing what others are allegedly describing us. Who cares...Most of our members are above this.
We are just trying to make a contribution to help the RFDS with a fund raising at this event

[Kots]

RFD donations are deductible for the LPB. So the LPB might prefer to donate direct. I'm also sure we'd all like nice clean bandages, enough fuel to make it where we need to get, or anything else anyone who gets the pleasure of the trip home with them needs. So eat up big! Just one week to go let's all start saving to spend! Can't wait!!

So first of all well done to Bill for running with the organisation of both the recent camp Cook Off and now the Auto Classic BBQ. It is this sort of effort and enthusiasm that is hard to find in a voluntary association such as ours and yet it's exactly what we need to make the club active and rewarding for members.
I will be the first to agree that $5 for a sausage in a bun may seem steep, however this ain't no ordinary sausage in a bun, For $5 you will get a good quality sausage, roll, condiments and drink as well as the satisfaction of knowing the entire amount paid will be handed over to the RFDS.
I think it's a very deserving charity and one that has been a life saver for our members and friends. On that basis I would happily offer up the $5 without a second thought to the price.
I hope to see as many members, friends and riders at Auto Classic this Saturday as possible, not only to show your support to the RFDS but to show your solidarity with the club and enjoy a what promises to be a great morning.

Will they be serving Lattes

[BillB]

Lefty your lattes are being provided by AC. They will be providing a coffee van so all the club latte sippers will be provided for . We have had a number of club members indicating they will be available to help with the cooking, bun buttering, serving customers etc. We will try and rotate these helpers so they can have a break, go for a bike test ride etc. The test rides will be in accordance with the normal AC conditions, sign up with a copy of your license and agree to pay excess on any damage or accident or infringement incurred during the test ride. Members will have the opurtunity to be club ambassadors and encourage new members to join the BMWMCCWA from the people who AC have sold a BMW bike to and have also invited , to come along and be part of the event.
We can inform these potential members in a positive way, what we do as a club and how we encourage members to get out there with their bikes and use them as they are supposed to be used and all the other benifits of being a member of Perths premier respected M/C club. This is a great opurtunity to benefit with a membership drive for the club and show our WA RFDS.that we seriously appreciate what they do for us with our fund raising for them.
For those that can't make the Xmas party, we may organise a Saturday overnighter ride staying overnight during the holiday period , to Lancelin with a get together for lunch (at the voted), "best beer garden in Australia" at the Lancelin Tavern .

Details will be announced once we get a feel for who might be interested.

[goodguy]

This Sat sounds like its going to be a great morning Bill, I will ensure enough tummy space for at least two snaga roll's. I can manage the Xmas do, a Sat arvo/night at lancelin also sounds a great plan, a great beer garden overlooking the ocean. How about we make this an Airhead friendly event, I have two I can lend out...Airheadcool .......oh yea

10% chance of rain, someone might get lucky and test traction control settings!

Hi Folks.

Also looking forward to this gathering. We mustn't forget that the collection we make for the R.F.D.S. on Saturday, will augment the amount that the Club has already earmarked to donate. I certainly won't mind chipping in a couple of extra dollars to this very deserving organisation. Traditionally, we have made single, payments of around $1000 to relevant charities, every financial year. Not for profit organisations, such as the BMWMCCWA, need to show that they are engaging with their communities and using a percentage of their surplus in carefully considered donations to worthy charities/organisations.

PS hopefully will also pitch up on an airhead
