Save Wakefield Park - Forum

 

Show your support and attend the Save Wakefield Park Public Forum. 

Because NSW Parliament ran out of sitting days in 2022, our Save Wakefield Park petition was not debated. With the NSW State election happening in March 2023, we are doubtful if the petition will ever be brought up for discussion by the next elected parliament.

We have planned our own forum where representatives from the various political parties can attend and share their thoughts on how we may resolve the problem, restore operations at Wakefield Park, and secure the facility's long-term viability.

If you are able to attend the public forum, kindly do so.  Please reserve your seat by clicking the provided link. 

Date: Sunday, 19th February 2023

Venue: Auditorium - Goulburn Workers Club,

1 Mckell Pl, Goulburn, NSW, 2580

Time: 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm

Ride Report - Catch-up - 23 November 22

 We met at Ampol Nichols and discussed the weather, road conditions, a possible route and the merits of foam seats as opposed to the gel type. We decided firstly to head to Yass and regroup at Kaffeine to further contemplate the day’s route and secondly that gel seats had longevity issues.

After some welcome caffeine at Kaffeine a plan was formulated to meander (the word of the day) towards Gunning for lunch - based mainly on road conditions and noting Illalong Road is still not open. So we headed back along the Yass Valley Way to join the Hume Highway at Manton then up to the Jerrawa Road turnoff, through Jerrawa and on to Dalton. We then took the Dalton Road to Gunning for lunch at the Merino Cafe.

The food at the Merino Cafe is always good and didn’t disappoint. The conversation quickly turned to talk of past bikes, past cars and past times.

We left Gunning for Breadalbane via the Cullerin Road and from there took the Breadalbane Adventure Trail to Collector. This road was probably the most affected by recent weather and we traveled reservedly dodging the many blemishes in the road surface. I became bored with dodging holes after a while but was forced to resume the weaving pattern when they became a little deeper and wider. Pictures attached.

From Collector we turned towards Canberra with a short deviation via the Old Federal Highway – the second section with police escort – until rejoining the Federal Highway at the Tulip Farm.

Thence to Canberra, parting at the Fyshwick turnoff.

A pleasant leisurely ride with good conversation, food and weather and a mixture of roads.
