OBT 4th Birthday Ride weekend 2nd & 3rd of June 2012

[Matt BakerMember]

How can they enforce us to abide by their permit when we are just a bunch of mates going for a trail ride?

We are not an official motorcycle club that has membership fees, insurance and indemnity forms.

I can understand that TB must have been running around in circles all day trying to sort it out, but………………..?

It’s better than risking the fines LC, I have also had to sort out legal stuff quickly too, lucky having friends that are solicitors
It makes me wonder how they got wind of it in the first place though?? Best to do the right thing and save any headaches later.
It’s a learning experience for all of us. I actually thought it was Boonit playing a joke at first..

Cheers.

Nice work Chris , TB & Mal by the sounds of it,,, there were some puckering bumholes today :laugh:

So much work has gone into organising this event, we have to make it run as smooth as silk for ya

Cheers Guys

Respect all your efforts guys, everyone involved in the organisation of the Birthday Ride, admin and support, we are greatly appreciative.

Look forward to getting there Friday.

Cheers

Obviously Forests NSW have drawn up a last minute “special” permit for us because we don’t fit into any of the categories listed on their website that require a permit and they have waived the 2 – 4 week permit processing period.

If they think we need a permit I suppose it is best that you have one organised, it just puts a lot of extra pressure on TB and Chris which I don’t think is fair or right especially 2 days out from the event.

If 50 to 100 people are camping and riding there on the same weekend, but not necessarily together, a permit is not required.

It sucks that they caught wind of our Birthday Party and felt they had to stick their heads in.

Yeah but it was great that they waved the 3 week time frame and helped us. The guy I dealt with was fantasic because at that stage it looked like it was off.

Again let’s have a chat there so we all better understand

Excited would be a massive understatement!!
Congrats to TB, Chris and Mal for sorting out the red tape so that this could go ahead. Thanks also to Forestry for making the process as simple as they could considering the time frame. We live in an era of public liability and they are just making sure that everything is covered.

STM (no longer King)

I would also like to thank the King for all that he has done, he has been a fine King. Just to clear the point as well Pete so you dont think we are being hard, STM stripped himself (that sounds wrong or my like what will happen on the weekend :laugh: ) of his title as a moderator and keeper of the new winners name he can do that

Thanks for the kind words Pete.
I sat up till midnight and closed the voting, tallied the final count, wrote the handover speech, stripped my self of the title, had a cry and went to bed. 😆
It was a great race in the voting and I can’t wait for the big reveal on Saturday night.

Good work king for another day or so, any bookies on board, maybe we could start the betting for who will be king 2012/13
