“Restraining Orders"

If you didn’t get this magazine and are not reading this, you probably haven’t renewed your membership, get straight onto it in case the club gets full….. 115 families have re-joined already!

They say that kids have no fear, and with a couple of my own requiring regular patch-up work, I can vouch for that.  But I find it odd that as you get older, bigger, stronger and, okay, fatter, you also become more fearful.  Take bikes for instance.  As a lad, the thought that a handlebar  through the head seemed an acceptable risk for the fleeting thrill of soaring Evel Knievel – like off hastily constructed jumps.  Now, just the thought of another billycart day, go-cart event, skid pan or race track is enough to bring me out in a cold sweat.

Hands up all those that think the billycarts should have a reunion at Colmslie Park for our Xmas party?????  This is what has been put forward by the sensible folk in our club at the last meeting.  Miller and Mossy as our equipment and safety officers will have to come up with a range of excellent options to prevent said rocks and trees and my grizzled noggin from coming into contact….  Chris will have to prepare the coming events for the next season of adventures, skidpan, track days and fearful events including the most terrible of all….. dress ups, will they be on his agenda?  Good luck Chris, I’m scared thinking about it.

We have plenty on the calendar already and don’t forget in the lead up to Christmas, Suzies orders for hamper goodies, and the opposite at our clearance of merchandise at the November meeting will need no orders.

Ernie's doing a great job with the magazine, putting in some of his humorous articles, so far there has been no restraining orders needed on him.  Sandy has put restraining orders on Brad though, informing him at her first time on the front table to be quiet and listen to her, I would have been scared if I were him…..

Thanks must also go out to Jaimes Pool for not putting any orders out to find Allen, he has been keeping the web page active until the big Al returns from the high sea’s to see if he can break the 5000 plus visits in one day that our web had last month.

Well I too have had restraining orders put on me, so short and sweet it is this month and remember the only restraints you need put on yourself is the seatbelt to our next event,
