XS650 club charity ride day

I ask you all to attend a Charity ride day at Castlereagh Race Track for The XS650 club. Prize for best XS650.
Charity is for an old racer that died of cancer so money raised half to his family (McFarlane Trust) and other half to the Cancer Clinic.
This is being organised by XS650 club member Mark Peatman so your attendance would be greatly appreciated.

Dates for the charity days are 28th and 29th of August.
On Saturday 28th there will be things happening at the Castlereagh track and then the club ride is on Sunday 29th.

If club members can at my place, 49 Boscobel Rd Londonderry, on Sunday around 10.00 to 11.00am then we can all ride around to the Castlereagh Race Track together and be there about midday.

Once again it is for a good cause and would like as many members possible to participate.
It should be a good day and hope the weather will be on our side.
Regards

Geoff Bamford
President
XS650 Club of Australia

Sunday, 12 September 2010

It’s that time of year again folks which means the Ton Up Boys Motorcycle Club’s annual Ride with the Rockers Day is coming around fast. Established in the early ‘90s, the club for classic bike enthusiasts, will be holding its 14th annual rally in early September. It’s being held on the same day and in conjunction with London’s Ace Cafe ride and this year the plan is to mix things up a bit. So along with the customary ride, there will also be a Show and Shine (for classic bikes and scooters) and an afternoon gig to round out the celebrations.

The day begins at Café Love #3 in Barr Street, Annandale, then it’s a case of kick-starting the engines, twisting the throttles and cruising down the south coast. Stopping for coffee and a casual tete-a-tete at The Headlands Hotel, Austinmer we’ll then be heading back to Sydney town, or to be more exact, the Newtown Jets Club at Tempe. This is where the mods and rockers will finally get the chance to fight it out in two exciting arenas - the car park for the Show and Shine and the dance floor for the shaking and shimmying.

At 2pm, ‘60s popsters, DTS will take the stage for a one-hour set of cool covers and cracking originals. And not to be outdone, Wes and The Sonic Aces will then get the house a jumpin’ and jivin’ with their special brand of rockabilly ravers. In between sets, Little Bop and The Crimplenes will continue the battle of the decades by spinning the very best in 50s and 60s tuneage.

The Newtown Jets Club has cheap drinks and a tasty bistro so there’s no excuse not to head down for a Sunday afternoon shake-down. It’s only $5 at the door and kids are welcome.

THE RIDE:
8.15am at Love#3 Café, Barr Street, Annandale. ALL WELCOME

THE SHOW AND SHINE:
1.30pm in the Newtown Jets Club car park (Holbeach Ave, Tempe)
All classic bikes and scooters are eligible to enter
Sponsor’s choice
Winners and prizes announced at 3pm

THE GIG:
Newtown Jets Club
2pm – DTS
4pm – Wes and The Sonic Aces

September 18th - I have attached a flyer for our upcoming show & shine in September I would be more than happy to have your club there some of your members have attended on past events, You are more than welcome to come along and set up a stand representing your Club and promote it. It is a charity event in which we raise money for UCARF (Ulysses Club Arthritis Research Fund) last year we raised $2,000.00. We hope this year we hope to raise more

Regards
Margot
