FREMANTLE MEN’S SHED FILM AND SUNSET RIDE<br />
Thought the members may be interested in a ride and film I am organising with the Vintage Motorcycle<br />
club of WA and the Fremantle Mens Shed. The details are as follows: Saturday 2 February 2013<br />
A sunset ride starting from Fremantle Men’s Shed (Cnr Nanine St and Stevens Street White Gum Valley)<br />
6.00pm ish (will update closer to the day) 6ish<br />
Passing through Centre of Fremantle, along Victoria Quay over the bridge and along the beach to<br />
Cottesloe returning to Men’s Shed for a BBQ, bonfire, and refreshments followed by screening of the<br />
film Twice Upon a Caravan under the stars, on an outdoor screen.<br />
In 1932 Robert Fulton rode a 500cc Douglas around the world. The trip is well documented in the book<br />
“Once upon a Caravan”. The film is made up of the 16mm film that Fulton shot on this epic trip. 40,000<br />
miles 20 countries and 3 continents, this is an extraordinary record of a changing world seen through<br />
the eyes and mind of a venturesome traveller.<br />
After the film there will be a casual get together with the shed crew around the bonfire for chats, camaraderie<br />
and a few refreshments with possibly a bit of impromptu music.<br />
There is plenty of trailer parking at the Men’s Shed, while we will have a few sausages available you<br />
may want to bring something to sling on the BBQ or toast on the fire. You may also want to bring a camp<br />
chair or rug to sit on and the refreshments of your choice.<br />
All are welcome.<br />

2012 AWARDS PRESENTATION/ANNUAL DINNER - Mick Tesser<br />
Well, there is no doubt about it, the night was one of the best ever in regards to the food - even my partner<br />
Colleen said the oysters were the best she had ever had, and the very hard to please food-wise Paul<br />
Barfoot also praised the quality and quantity of the tucker! Typically I was gassbagging to anyone would<br />
was unlucky enough to sit near me and only had a bit of lettuce and a chicken nibble or two so I can’t<br />
tell you what the rest of the food was like, other than that all I have spoken to have said how good it was.<br />
The smorgasborg type serving system worked very well, no wait-persons struggling with plates of food<br />
between tight spaces, cold food on plates or small serving portions, and queues went very quickly so<br />
everyone filled themselves up to the brim no doubt.<br />
The bar staff were kept on their toes throughout the night, and those dancers amongst us, (well I did get<br />
up and boogie once at least!), like the Thompsons and others, jived all night along to the tunes spun on<br />
the turntable and had a few over-indulgers singing along merrily.<br />
The presentations themselves were very amusing and entertaining, particularly the speeches of Rob<br />
Clarke, rubbing it in to young Sam Clarke about how many trophies an “old bugger” was accumulating<br />
compared to the “young guns”. Thank you speeches were generally kept very short for some reason this<br />
year, maybe we were more interested in the food and drinks than our usual speechifying - usually you<br />
can’t shut us up! Club Patron Steve Riley gave a very good talk about the contribution Alan Warner had<br />
made to our club and our sport in general over many years when recognising the awarding of Life<br />
Membership to Alan Warner (who was unable to attend). Bob Humphreys accepted the award on Alan’s<br />
behalf.<br />
All in all a great night and a big thank you in particular goes to Bill Hargrave and whoever helped him<br />
out setting up and running the event and cleaning up the next day.
