Happy birthday to us !!!!

Post by Blacky »

It was 10 years ago today we had our first ever meeting after putting an ad on Gumtree and a bit of banter here on the forum back in the days when there was more than a dozen or so of us on here ImageImage

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

The wife got a couple of snaps of that meeting, we were expecting about 8-10 to show up and ended up with over 20 turning up on the day and a further 5 or 6 who were interested and couldn’t get there that day ImageImageImageImage

The offer of a snag and a frothy will get them turning up.

Well done W.A 👍 How many members do you have now?

By the look of the photos, everyone who lives in WA showed up :lol:

Only kidding. Congratulations to the club on 10 years, particularly for keeping it all glued together through Covid.

Cheers,

We have about 55 financial members currently, but there would be around a dozen who are just in the club for the cheap rego ……

That’s a good effort Blacky. Sadly there are always a few that contribute nothing to the running of a car or bike club.

We don’t care, the ones that never show up miss out not the regulars and other active members- the way we see it the dues of the non participants pay for the food and drinks we put on at every event for those that do turn up 👍👍
