Hi everyone, hope you had a good night (774 politically ok Lindsay?).

Visit from Geelong Lutheran College.

Rock-Off MND

As Bill mentioned in his report, Peter Simko spoke about his involvement with Rock-Off MND.

This organisation raises money for Motor Neurone Disease research. There is no known cause and no cure for MND. There are 2200 people living with the disease in Australia. Rock-OFF MND organise an annual live music event in Geelong as their major fund raiser. They have just hosted their 3rd event which was really successful. They are now planning for the March 2018 concert and are seeking any assistance we can provide.

For further information go to www.rockoffmnd.com.au

Ride the Bellarine

Ride the Bellarine. Sunday 9th April 2017

Thanks to everyone who is volunteering or participating in this great event. Participants and volunteers will be emailed details by the organisers.

helloworld Geelong are major sponsors of this event. They have donated return flights from either Avalon, Sydney, Adelaide or Hobart to the club who raises the most money on a per member basis. So we need to get behind our club riders and sponsor them. An email will be sent out with the details or alternatively just ask Peter how to sponsor a rider.
