AGM 217 News - Intercom recieved 4th June

Here is a copy of todays Intercom, bringing us an update regarding the 2017 AGM:

June 2017

Dear Members

Thanks to all those members who made the trip to the AGM Event in Wauchope, and also enjoyed time in Port Macquarie we've had some excellent feedback - overwhelmingly positive feedback and we will of course discuss the negatives. Either way, thanks for the comments.

Thanks to the AGM Event Committee, the National AGM Event Coordinator, the Host Branch, and the volunteers for the fantastic event and that nearly perfect weather! Thanks also to our wonderful sponsors. There have been many photos shared on social media and the upcoming Riding On magazine will also have photos and stories from the event.

The National Committee for 2017 as voted for at the AGM in Wauchope is:

President - Jen Woods #21395
Vice President - Mark Seja #39695
Secretary - Henry Rokx #28636
Treasurer - John Osborne #41785
Committee - Peter Baulch #27672
Committee - Allan Pratt #9186
Committee - Dave Wright #51871


Traders also gave us some fantastic feedback - Dale McBride, Group Marketing Manager from Peter Stephens Importers said "It was great to be involved in the Ulysses AGM event in Wauchope last week. Between the Triumph and Moto Guzzi brands we conducted over 500 demo rides which is imperative in exposing the Ulysses community to our product ranges. For many riders it was their first chance to experience the all new Triumph Bonneville Bobber as well as the big bore cruisers from Moto Guzzi including the Audace and Eldorado models. We have received some excellent feedback on the ride route and the range available as a result of our ride programme and look forward to seeing Ulysses riders on our motorcycles in the future".


Sincere congratulations to Helena Gritton 14027 (Life member no. 19) and Mike Abberfield 8158 (Life Member no. 18) on being awarded a Life Membership of the Ulysses Club at the Annual General Meeting in Wauchope.

Congratulations also go to the Dearnley Medal awardees:
Ray Parker 49825 (Dearnley Medal No. 56)
Ron Howell 45382 (Dearnley Medal No. 57)

Suzuki is holding a series of Road Shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, to launch their Next Generation in Street Bikes. Please see the attached flyer for details.
