The Royal Enfielder's arrived in Geraldton,
together on the Friday afternoon (April 23), only 4 hours late after such
an outstanding and epic effort of riding from so many locations, meeting
up along the way, starting their journey from places such as Central Coast
of Queensland and following the coastal road around to the Principality.
They were led into Hutt from Geraldton, the action filmed continuously by a
European film crew racing around the group in their small bus, camera-man
hanging out the doors for that "great sequence", directions being shouted
out and drummed in at every stop, Greeted on arrival by HRH Prince Leonard they were soon directed to the new Caravan & Camping grounds where they settled in for the night to rest at last. Up early Saturday morning, machines
bought up and parked on display for the public to see and into the days
activities and entertainment, starting with attending the flag raising at
the secession monument as the Pipes and Drums played. Sunday morning saw another early start
with everyone getting up to their own thing in the morning, checking out
whatever each wanted to do, many attending and completing the 3+ Km round
trip trek to the top of Mt Secession to pass through the "Biblical
Gateway" atop the Mount. Certificates were obtained by those who took part
in this "activity". Following sweets I am very pleased to thank Russel Byron & Merryl Sims of OZ Motorbike Tours who presented myself with a "Russ's Bus Ride to Hutt 2010" T-Shirt, concerns were made that they may not have had the right size made and again I assure them that had it been too big I will have grown into it soon! Club President Bruce Walker also presented me with a Chrome RECOA belt buckle which I now proudly wear as an Hon Member of RECOA. Sunday evening was the last night of the
Official Celebrations and it finished with a number of events. First up
was the final BBQ dinner consisting of a huge range of salads and sides
and topped off with the succulent spit roasted pork carved straight from
the spit by the Spit Culinary Champion, Mr. Frank Mauger COWL., JP
Following the meal we were entertained by Mr. John Gall as he played and sang a wide range of music and people (inc Members) entered the "Dance Off" in order to try and win a trophy and the music took a break in order for Prince Leonard to make various presentations of Certificates to those who attended the trek to Mt Secession, Certificate of thanks to those who provided entertainment over the weekend, trophies to the winners of the Inaugural Mini-Golf Challenge, trophies to the dance winners and of course the RECOA trophies which were won by: FURTHEST TRAVELLED ON THE BIKE!
Cheers!
