Garry's Hospice Ride
by Chester Powell - photos by Chester and John Mc
Close to thirty people rocked up at our regular meeting spot to support
our annual fundraiser ride for the Hospice. After an address by
President Kim, we set off via Millbrook Rd and across to Albany Highway.
It was then back to Link Road and across to George Street and Elleker
for morning tea. After a short break we made our way through Robinson to
Garry’s for lunch in Little Grove. Thanks to Phil O’Halloran for going
back-up.
Garry and Carol had lunch ready to go. We could smell the onions cooking
as we rode up. A scrumptious feast of sausages and burgers was enjoyed
by all. It was followed by cakes and ice cream. Yum!
It was then time for fun and games starting with an auction of some
pretty cool items. Thanks to everyone who donated items to sell and for
those who were eager to spend their money.
The coin toss attracted a lot of interest as usual. This year we had two
bottles of wine as prizes, once again donated by the Little Grove Store.
The
closest to the bottles at the completion of fifteen minutes of tossing
coins, and of course when everyone’s pockets were empty, saw an
anonymous tosser take the big bottle of red.
The winning coin was upside down.
And guess what? It was my coin that won.
Colin Dowsett took the second prize.
We were all pleased with the results.
$120 was raised with this bit of fun.
President Kim then thanked Garry and Carol for their hospitality and all the donors.
These included:
Garry Taylor
LaserScape
Garry Dibble
Little Grove Store
The Elleker Store
Bob Boyes
Chester Powell.
Thank-yous were said to all the supporters of this event.
Close to $1800 was raised.
Thanks Garry for a great day.
