Hello all Brunswick members and partners welcome to 2017 Happy New Year, hope you all had a great Christmas and a fantastic start to the New Year.

Looking forward to an action packed year for Brunswick HOG! Welcome to the January report, this is the first report for the year only 11 months to go how time flies!

I have it from a reliable source that the State Rally registrations are going well, however we still need a lot more club members to register and to support our Rally. Please register ASAP we want this to be a HUGE SUCCESS as I am sure it will regardless of numbers. We have updated the bands since our Saturday band Jack High pulled out. The line up playing is as follows: Friday night – Retromax, Saturday night will be shared by John Williams Double Shot of Blues and Spectrum and Sunday night will be a DJ. Lots of great music in store, so get out your
dancing shoes!

Alex & Lois have been busy co-ordinating the Anglers Rest High Country weekender on Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th Feb., it sounds like it is going to be a great weekend. I’m sure everyone going will have a great time, enjoy the sights and safe riding!

Just a friendly reminder to all in the absence of our regular Blood Run if you can still donate blood please do as it is a valuable resource that should be shared.

The silly season is over but please continue to be extremely careful on the roads. Hopefully everyone has refreshed their memories and re-read the Club ride rules on the inside cover page of the Newsletter, to ensure that we are all riding safely and looking after our most valuable assets, which is each other. Ride safe.

Looks like everyone had a great 1st ride of the year lead by Stax our honorary Road Captain, to Heathcote via Nagambie. Lots of pics on the website which looked great even though it was hot.

Some dates to remember:
The HOG Victorian State Rally at Hepburn Springs from 10th March to 13th March 2017 – be there
or be square!
All you romantics out there, don’t forget your partner on Valentine’s Day 14th Feb.

I have noticed hot cross buns in the supermarket already are we kidding or what? I didn’t buy any…honest.

Look forward to seeing you all at the January 18 meeting.

That’s all from me folks. Ride Safe and Enjoy!
