The Clubs Function of Christmas in July held at The Brookton Arms Hotel in Brookton was another success story for this great club!!
Numbers were down however those who made the effort to attend, including 3 brave, read-crazy individuals on bikes in shocking weather were once again rewarded with plenty of good camaraderie, humor, and a pleasurable night out!!
Congratulations to all those that won prizes and Club Awards!! Very deserving recipients one and all!!
Up at 0600 for a Continental Brekkie with Vic and Joan before departing for home via a scenic route through Beverly, York, The Lakes and Mundaring Weir Road in bright beautiful sunshine albeit very fresh morning!!
Thanks to the Committee for organising another terrific function!!

Christmas In July 2022
"I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains.
Of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons, I love her jeweled sea.
Her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me."

Christmas in July Function – Bedford Arms Hotel in Brookton 23rd July 2022
I lead a couple of brave souls on motorbikes, in what can only be described as poor conditions – Strong wind and heavy rain all the way to Beverley before easing as we continued onto Brookton.
We enjoyed drinks and fellowship around the fire in the front bar, then headed to shower and dress for the dinner. Jamie & Lisa did a great job, a delicious 3 course meal (copious quantities) in a lovely setting with a Christmas touch.
Jon O provided the entertainment, running a very informative quiz.
David Sarolea did a lot of foot work to organise the event, but took ill and could not be there to enjoy the fruits of his labour.
Club Awards – Street Cred Trophy was awarded to John Pollaers for his recent adventure into the desert with fellow club members, during which he had a slight off resulting in a sore ankle, John pushed on with gusto and made it home, only to find out he had fractured his ankle
A great effort JP.
Gunther Glaesnner Trophy – Was awarded to Peter Spencer for his ongoing efforts leading rides, and displaying his leadership qualities on multiple occasions. Well done Peter
.
Karen and Carol were presented with artwork from the exclusive Swampy collection for their regular and ongoing attendance.
Mike and Anna were awarded a bottle of wine and artwork from the exclusive Swampy collection for getting into the festive spirit and dressing for the occaison.
Clayton was awarded a bottle of wine for longest distance travelled to the dinner, completing over 800 km round trip.
