Ulysses Club Inc - Ipswich Branch

A week has almost passed and I still feel quite emotional and unable to put to words what we achieved last Sunday.   Without the work of many during the lead up and on the day itself, the day would not have been as successful as I believe it was.   The DVAC staff said they were approached by many attendees this year for support.  

As I have always said, if our event provides information to support just one person who lives in Domestic Violence - then we have achieved our ...

Just posted a video I took of my ride from the BP Logonholme to Brothers for the DV Awareness ride, so check it out.

Just a song from our DV Ride

Hi wonderful people

As advised at the info night the first DV Ride commitee meeting is this coming Friday night, 20th Jan 2017 at the Ipswich Country Club at 7 pm.  I will probably turn up a little earlier for some dinner.

Please consider coming along and being part of the organisation of our event which will be on Sunday 7th May 2017.   Many hands make light work and the committee would really appreciate your assistance.  Come along and hear what goes on behind the...

Ipswich branch made the news again, have a read of it here.

Getting interesting articles for the newsletter is often difficult, so if you feel your budding writer coming on, you could write a report about your experiences today, the day of our second DV ride.

I'm sure Dorothy our Newsletter Editor would be eternally thankful.

This also applies to todays ride leaders, would be interesting reading about their experiences during the day.

I took a movie of the ride leaving Yamanto today, expect to have it on site soon, and counted 118 ...

Thanks so much to the most amazing group of friends who happen to love motorcycling and being part of our great Club.   The Ipswich branch is certainly getting its name out in our community and the motorcycling community.   Ado was approached by another Ulysses Branch member who said he could see we are a very strong branch .... Congrats to us I say.  We are such a fledgling group only 2 1/2 years old, and are already a branch which is truly lives by the Ulysses Code - To Grow ...

Hi Everyone,

Just following on from my update last night. Details and the flyer for the DV ride have been sent to 62 clubs via email and 31 Facebook groups, a few business's and I went nuts handing them out at the Black Dog ride. Over the past few weeks I have attended Gatton, Redcliffe, Gold Coast,  Darling Downs and Warwick meetings. Its been a busy time but truly rewarding. 

To play where's Marita - the coming month is Lockyer (4th), Sunshine Coast (5th), Redlands (9t...

And here are the hardiest riders for today, well done.

I like my bones intact, or I might have joined you...

I am really overwhelmed from the support received from the wonderful members of our branch and our family members who all pitched in today to make it such a success.    There are so many to thank, but I would really like to give Big Hugs to the DV Ride Committee, the Branch Committee and the members who came along today for your commitment to the Inaugural Ride for Awareness of Domestic & Family Violence.  

As you know a lot has gone on behind the scenes, a...

To all who attended our great day out ,well done.

It was a pitty the day was upstaged by a boxing match. Regards Toddy

Blue Skies Shining on me and you!!!!    The Ride is on!!!

For those members who couldn't attend the Info Night last night, we had all decided that the Event was going ahead and that a little rain wasn't going to stop us  (or should I say huge deluge from the past two days).....10 months of planning, wasn't going to be a waste.

Everything is as it should be -  Make sure you go on the Ipswich Ride with Eric leaving Macca's Ya...

Thanks to Ipswich Life Magazine for advertising our ride in this week's magazine.  I have already taken a call from a lady keen to come along on her bike with friends.   Will fill you all in at the meeting on Friday Night, that way we can all be on the same page regards what we are telling interested persons and businesses.

Hi all

Our Ride is advertised in the latest edition of the Ulysses Riding on Magazine - pages 112 and 113, so that you don't have to try and find the article.  I couldn't wait for my copy to arrive in the mail so I went online and found the latest Riding On there.

The funny thing is that there is a picture of the Branch at the Christmas Brekky BBQ on page 88 with the G...
