I would like to welcome Wayne Smith as the NEW Vice President, Tina Kinna Secretary, Christine Steffens Treasurer and Richie Paterson Bar Manager. Please be aware that our next weekend will be on Wednesday the 15/6/2011 starting @ 7PM SHARP as this is the 2nd game of Origin. There will NOT be a meeting on the 8/6/2011. We will have the TV on hand and will endeavour to have the meeting finished by 8PM for Kick off.
Saturday 14/5/2011 - Willowbank TnT Rob & Chop Coleman were out to commence testing the beautiful new 65/66 Mustang with the most striking paint. The Mustang had an altercation with the wall and will be back SOON. Darren Booth was out testing and Jnr now knows where the record button is on the Video Camera. Ricky & Christine were out watching Kev & Peta’s Altered testing. Yours truly sorted out some issues & found another.

Boothy was out in Super sedan not sure how he went? Christine was doing Modified duties with the “Rugged up” Dragster. Closet Bikie husband Ricky looks GOOD in the drivers seat.

Russ Pavey was out testing the Corvette. Richie Paterson fell asleep @ the tree in Round 1 and the Barmen got beat up by the Pres. Yours truly finally got the bike sorted and won the Semi Final only to be disqualified in a Brain faded cross the Startline burnout. The meeting was washed out just before Finals commenced.
