Dear all,
Attached are the links to the “Whereis” site on which I have detailed our route for the ride on the 24th May. You should be able to expand and print etc.
Plan is to leave the Crossroads pub at, strangely enough, Cross Roads Prestons, or Liverpool dependent upon your point of view. Leaving time is o9:45. We’ll move on to Macca’s at Narellan if that’s more convenient for some, leaving at 10:15 sharp.
You can see the timings for the rest of the ride which will finish up back where we started, or close to it.
“Mid ride” stop is Picton at, most probably, the George IV, for a bite etc. We can have a discussion about the formation of the Chapter there.
I expect we’ll back at start point by about 14:00ish.
I originally indicated a detour via the coast but in the interest of time I’ve pulled it back. You can also guess from the route my aversion to motor-ways. (My pick this time!! Someone else next time).
Take care, have fun and drop me a line if you need more info.
See you soon.

NSW - MMAA Bike Dislay 26 April 2009
Greetings All,
Through the week I had the pleasure of attending a meeting to sponsor a new member into Woronora Lodge.
Whilst there, I mentioned the MMAA, (as I tend to do at every available opportunity), and the DGIW of District 28 was interested in what we are and what we do.
He has invited us, as a club and masons, to put on a motorcycle display at their annual picnic. It is not on until the 26th April 09, and I understand that it is a long time off, but I thought I might gain some expressions of interest from among us and give him the positive response that I am sure he is looking forward to.
I see this as an opportunity to both raise our profile and perhaps gain some new members into the MMAA. I would appreciate a response within the next week to provide them with an indication of our interest.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Roger (Lizard) Coates
