Update on Elaine from Warwick District Branch.

She is demonstrating a great internal strength by maintaining her health. She has been in an induced coma since the accident for her safety. During that time they have done some critical operations on her wrists, spine and face. She still has to endure a lot more in operations to repair her other wrist etc.

On a very positive note, they brought her out of the induced coma on Sunday for a little while and during that time she was abl...

Just to let you all know my cancer has returned again, which was not unexpected as my form of  non hodgkins lymphoma is treated like a chronic diease. Anyway they are taking a watch and wait approach for now but as i am having regular ultrasound of the tumor i am taking it all one day at a time.

Fear not the prognoses is excellent but I have to be carefull not to get any serious infections so will not be back to meetings for now anyway. But I still ride solo and do see you all out ...

Hi Guys, can we please remember that we need to respect other members of the Branch. Couple of instances recently that don't sit well with me and hopefully are 'one off's'.

Thanks

Jay Leno - a word from a sponsor

For the past 10 years, Jay Leno and his detailing team have worked hand-in-hand with product engineers to develop a full range of detailing products, that are now available in Australia.

The products stand the test of concourse-level judgment, yet are easy to use and its the first time Jay has put his name to any brand.

Ulysses Club members get a 15% discount online when you use the code 'ULYSSES' and orders will be delivered to your door.

Just a early update, we will be having a christmas family BBQ at Wivenhoe dam on the 22/11/2020 so bring the family kids and their kids, should be a nice day starts around 10 AM for lunch and games for the kids.��

Just wondering if any one is going to Brisbane Wests Trivia Night Tonight.

We had our first post Covid Branch Meeting last friday and had a fair turn out. Future meetings will be held as usual on the first friday of every month. The club has a Covid safe plan and as long as we stick to that plan all will be Ok. However if you do think it is still a risk or you are unwell please stay at home.

If you have been collecting toys and other goods for the Toy Run, please consider donating them directly to your local Salvation Army Corp.

Prime West Brassall Shopping Centre will still put out the collection bins in the run up to Christmas to tak...
