No one has given me any
reports on rides they have been doing.
The only ride I know that has happened was to Werris Creek. After having made a couple of phone calls, no
one wanted to write a report, but all tell me they had a great time. If anyone does go on a ride, please do up a
small report. Some of us do not have the
luxury of being able to ride often, and it is always great to read about other
people’s experiences.

Bruce from Narrabri has organized something for the Easter
weekend. Depart Maccas
Narrabri at
On Sunday 19th
March, there will be a ride to Graman for Lunch. The Publican of the Hotel at Graman is a Ulyssian , but will be in
John McKee would like to
organize a ride for the weekend 27/28th May. It will be a nice long one, for those of you
that are in for a great ride. Leave Moree 8.00am on 27th May, then across to
Grafton,
The Muster Planning is coming along nicely. We have booked the Founders Pavilion at the
Moree Showgrounds for the Saturday night.
We have already had several registrations come in. If you know anyone that is coming from out of
town, tell them they should book their accommodation early, as there is a Rugby
Carnival in Town on the same weekend, so places to stay are getting
scarce.
The next planning Meeting will be held on Saturday 18th
March at John & Cheryl McKee’s home,
.
At our last meeting, it was decided to have a meeting every
second month, not just for the Muster, but a get together. The first one is at John and Cheryl McKee’s
place on 18th March.
The one after that will be 13th May at Ian and Margaret Heferen’s

I received an update of what’s on in the Tramby
household, so I have added it below for everyone’s information.
1. Mark has started his new business – Ambassador Holidays
–Address is
2. I have started a new job. I am the office manager for Radbe Consulting, a small business of consultants that
liaises between businesses and government departments. A complete change of
workplace for me, still trying to work it all out but I have only been a week
on the job so still very much on ‘L’ plates. I am finding it really interesting
and a great challenge. The brain cells are certainly working overtime.
3. The best news of all is we have purchased a townhouse in
Taringa which is about 5 kilometres from the city. It settles on Tuesday,
Our address is Unit 3,
Telephone number is 07-3217 7500.
Mobile Mark 0438 465686 & Rosemary 0407 948174
Mark will be catching the train to work and I have about a 15 minute drive to work which is all very convenient.
See you all at the Muster – Mark & Rosemary.
Hi everyone
As Cathy has probably already mentioned we are set up in
Been for a few runs on the bike but it’s fairly hot and
humid at present and not the best conditions for riding.
At this stage have not been in contact with any of the
Ulysses groups as we have been full on setting up the new business and the new house, might get into that in a few weeks time.
Rosemary has a new job working for a consultancy firm as
“office manager”, she is enjoying the job but it is quite a challenge for her
so it remains to be seen if she still is enjoying it in 6 months time. It’s a
10 minute drive (luckily against the traffic) each way for her morning and
night so it’s a very convenient position as far as that goes.
I’m a daily train commuter now (isn’t that a hoot!!!), 4
stops into central station every morning and back at night with the thousands
of other workers….we are lucky as our home is only a 5 minute walk to the
station.
Hope you are all well and looking forward to seeing everyone
again at the Muster in April / May
Best wishes
Mark Tramby
I would like to put a few more rides on our Calendar, maybe a ride on the
long weekend in October to catch up with the Toowoomba Group. If anyone has any ideas, please give me a
call. It would be great if we had the
whole year booked with rides, so that everyone can plan their weekends. We may get a few more people on rides if they
are planned well in advance.
Suzie & Bill Holmes are taking holidays to Carnarvon Gorge. If anyone would like to go on a ride with
them, they are leaving 16th July for 2 weeks.
Suzie’s phone number is 67 92 4031.
I am always looking for bits for the Newsletter. So please send in anything. It certainly gives me a new appreciation for
what Mark used to do each and every month, trying to put this together. It is very hard if no one sends anything in
to write about.
Till next
month,
Cathy Edmunds
1. We are an informal group of the Ulysses Club Inc. As such we
do not have a committee and we do not carry Public Liability or other insurance
on behalf of our group.
2. If you ride with us we assume that you are a licensed rider,
that your bike is registered and roadworthy and that you have appropriate
personal insurances in place, or accept the consequences of not having done so.
3. We also assume that you, like us, accept that there are
potential risks in riding bikes on public roads.
4. Our rides run on an informal basis. We do not have a “ride
captain” as such and the person who is “leader” will depend on who is there at
the time, and this may change from time to time during a run.
5. Before setting out we count the bikes and nominate where the
next stopping point will be.
6. At each stopping point we will wait until all bikes have
been accounted for.
7. If you are leaving a run midway please make sure the other
riders know your intentions.
8. We do not ride in formation. Each rider is encouraged to
travel at their own pace. If riders get behind, we regather at the next
stopping off point.
9. It is quite OK to pass other riders, even the “Leader”,
provided you do so safely.
10. Do NOT ride up the tail of the bike in front,
we consider a gap of at least 3 seconds is appropriate.
11. Do not put pressure on
other riders, you cannot be sure how they will react.
12. Ride within your own
comfort zone.
13. Keep and eye out for the
rider behind you in case they get into trouble.
14. We’re here to enjoy our
bikes and each others company, we assume you are here
for the same reason!!
And once
again many thanks to our Sponsors, Thomas Lee Motorcycles in Moree (and now
Gundy) and Grant Douch Motorcycles Narrabri. Their support through discounts to members and the
providing of valuable raffle prizes is greatly appreciated.
