Presidents Report 2020
Despite being a strange year, and that's all I'm saying, we still managed to get in quite a few rides and overnighters,
In February the Wednesday group stayed overnight at Beaumaris and then there was a bit of a gap to the next which was an all branch get together overnighting at Tullah Lodge and lastly in November we stayed at Scamander, I am mentioning these because it was almost unanimously agreed that these should be annual events.
Unfortunately Tullah clashed with the Pink Ribbon Ride and proceeds would have been down if Les and Marg hadn't organised a raffle with 5 of Robbie's Hand made pens as prizes which he donated, this boosted the fund to nearly $300 so well done. But I also have to mention the bad as well as the good and that is after the money was taken to the Cancer Council they failed to issue a Cancer Council receipt despite repeated requests,which in my opinion is bad.
We finished the year with a well attended barbeque at our place in December so thanks to Dave, Skip, Les and Rob with your help with that.
Also thanks Phil for keeping us amusingly up to date on Facebook and all those who donated prizes for the raffle at our Monthly Counter Meal.

Branch President’s Annual Report 2014
Where did last year go, I suppose listings things chronologically would help me remember.
January. We held our well attended Branch AGM where all of the previous years committee stood
again for election in their existing roles and were subsequently re-elected.
February. The Ulverstone Bike Show….The less said about that the better.
March. Our now annual Poker Run and the most successful to date with exactly 100 riders taking
part and raising the fantastic total of $4935 for Camp Quality.
April. Plenty of riding especially with the introduction of the rides now taking place every
Wednesday.
May. Many of our branch members getting exited with 39 of us heading for the national AGM at
Alice Springs.
June. Lots of us just returning from the AGM ; Then a quick rethink when we found out almost
accidently that Devonport RSL had cancelled their Christmas in July without telling us.
July. Some quick decisions were made by the committee when we realised that it was too late to get
our contingent in somewhere else for Christmas in July so we decided to do it ourselves with Ben
securing the Ulverstone Bowls Club and the band and the rest of us doing what was required to make it
a brilliant night, we even made a modest profit for the first time ever.
August. Winter rides with some amazing turn outs.
September. Ben calls it a day as Webmaster and Ride Coordinator to enjoy his retirement and to be
able to travel at will without lugging around all the necessaries.
Shayne Robertson takes on the role of Webmaster and Peter Carne as Ride Coordinator.
October. Summer is on the way so again plenty of riding.
Shayne gets our new website up and running.
November. One of our main social gatherings of the year at Brian and Jill’s barbeque always a great
night with plenty of fun and tall stories.
Jill and Margaret organized the Christmas Hamper to raffle at the counter meal and raised $161.40.
December. Last few rides this year then Christmas again and recharge for next year.
Now I know where it went and what a year it was.
Our monthly counter meals were well attended and as many of the raffle prizes were donated this
helped towards raising the necessary funds to keep our branch running and make our annual $500
donation to UCAF and I will have to mention again Margaret and Jill’s supper Hamper effort.
My thanks to the Committee and all the volunteers at various events who are to numerous to mention
individually also the Ride Captains, T.E.C. and all those who donated gold coins.
Please Note our branch AGM will be after the counter meal at the Forth Pub on the 24th of February so
come along and help elect your 2015 committee.

Branch President’s Annual Report 2013
Having nearly completed my first year as President, I would like to say what an eventful year it was.
Despite the many cancelled rides and subsequently the loss of gold coin donations we still managed to almost break even financially.
We successfully organised several events, beginning with our first Poker Run that was open to all and with over 100 people participating managing to raise $3700.00 for Camp Quality.
Next we had our Xmas in July at the Devonport RSL club, which was organised by Peter Carne and is always a great night.
Then it was our turn to host the Pink Ribbon Ride BBQ, where we managed to break the record raising a fantastic $2312.00 for The Cancer Council.
We finished the year with our Christmas BBQ at Jill and Brians’, where they spared no effort with their hospitality. So thanks yet again.
In between all this we had many excellent rides and 10 of our members completed a Senior First Aid course which had a focus on Motorcycle related injuries.
Peter and Hilaire Carne designed and organised our own branch shirts, which had an uptake of over 50 so far. Another great effort.
Our monthly counter meals at the Forth pub were well attended, with the raffle being our biggest fund raiser for club expenses and most of the prizes were donated. Once again thank you Jill and Margaret for co-ordinating the Christmas Hamper.
I would like to thank the committee for their unselfish work throughout the year, all the volunteers at various functions, the ride Captains and T.E.C, all those selling raffle tickets and donating prizes who are too numerous to mention individually and Eileen for a much appreciated hand with the paperwork.
Lastly I would like to welcome our new members who joined this year and hope you enjoy being part of our group.
Please note our Branch AGM will be held after the counter meal at the Forth pub on the 28th of January, come along and elect your 2014 committee.

President North West Coast Branch.
