ORMTC President’s Report December 2015

How quick was that! Here it is almost Christmas again and we’re all a year older and wiser hopefully.

This year we’re planning to meet on the foreshore at Point Walter on Saturday 12

th

December at 4.30pm for our Annual Christmas Party in the form of a Picnic/BBQ, BYO and Secret Santa prezzie – see you there.

More rides are planned for December and January so keep your eye on the Website and come along and enjoy.

Merry Xmas to you all and ride safely throughout the festive season and don’t forget double demerits.

Editors Report

Hi all, This month you will see plenty of photos, especially from the Club Run. As mentioned last month, I’ve now caught up on the accounting so there’s two months’ worth of Club finances - exciting stuff. The points table has also been updated but something weird seems to be going on with the database for the 40th Anniversary ride. However, there aren’t many details of upcoming rides; these will be discussed at the meeting. If you have this mag, you will be first to know the details but I’ll put them up on the website as soon as possible. We do have details for the Christmas Party though. Ivan

they are organizing except for their own accommodation. 3. Only financial members of the club can vote. 4. No person is to spend any monies unless prior approval has

been granted by 2 or more committee members.

5. Any money spent and claimable from the club must have a receipt.

7. If a member is unable to attend a Club event, refunds are to be decided by the committee organizing the event. 8.

O.R.M.T.C. RIOT ACT

This is to be read out at the start of each run

1. All riders are to be introduced to the Leader and Tail End

Charlie before the start of the run. 2. Do not overtake on the left – EVER!!

3. For rider safety a staggered formation is strongly

recommended.

4. Do not pass the leader unless they say it is okay.

5. When turning you MUST wait on the corner where you can be seen until the person behind catches up.

6. When you see someone on a corner you will become the

corner marker unless they wave you through.

7. Ride within your own personal limits and be mindful of the road rules.

8. The tail end Charlie will always be behind the last bike, no

matter what.

Please complete the sign in sheet with rider/pillion details including an emergency contact name and number.

This riot act must be read out before the start of each run. If you

are attending the run and the organisers fail to read it out, please remind them to do so.


Ivan and Bob took the Social Ride to Bindoon, Gingin and Yanchep before finishing at Mindarie around lunch time.

There was a good turnout of visitors too thanks to E-J’s Facebooking.
