A lot of club members were away on holiday. Some were in Bali
and heaps of members were on their way down from Marble Bar,
Denham or Perth. Others who would normally come down for the
weekend had other commitments. Never mind we still had a great
time.
Ross Williams and his family came to Torbay nice and early like
Andrew and Wendy who had set up their Kombi van for the night.
The weather was absolutely beautiful; sunny and warm but not too
windy.
Wendy’s daughter Joanne came down with husband Andrew and their
sons; Louis and Joel. The boys have got their own little offroad
bikes and had a great time racing around the paddock.
A lot of friends and neighbours came over and some more club
members showed up in the afternoon for a cuppa and cake.
The boys had a game of soccer and it got pretty wild, Ronnie
apparently flying over the handlebars at some stage. Everybody
had a great time though and people who hadn’t played this kind
of soccer before thought it was so much fun.
The barbeque was lit and it was time for sausages, chops and
steak. There were some nice salads to go with it. After dinner
we all headed for the bonfire, it’s always great to stand near
the fire and watch the flames.
The blokes got the bikes out again complete with head torches if
they didn’t have headlights. Ronnie lead them through the paper
bark where it was still very wet and muddy from all the rain we
had. Their clothes got covered in mud but they had the best
time. I’m not sure if their other halves were too impressed to
wash the clothes.
The weather had completely changed the next morning; rain and
very grey. There was bacon & eggs for breakfast and lots of
coffee & tea to go with it.
Finn, Ronnie and Joanne’s Andrew took off for a couple of hours
to go dirt biking. We stayed behind, did some cleaning up, had
more coffee & cake and Andrew got an obstacle course ready
for Wendy, Louis and Joel.
When the dirt bikers came back we had some lunch before
everybody got ready to go back home. A great weekend, we hope to
see you all next year.
