| Sat & Sun | 15 & 16 | A weekend away: northwest to Blackbutt for our AGM! |
THE 2018 STEEL HORSES ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING This year the Steel Horses AGM is going to be held on Saturday night 15th September 2018 at the Hotel Radnor in Blackbutt (160km northwest of Brisbane) (a town famous for it’s Eucalyptus Pilularis or Blackbutt tree). The Blackbutt Pub (originally called The Grand; but renamed to Hotel Radnor in 1935 after the then-owner's dog!!) was established over 100 years ago. Recently refurbished, it's most definitely a biker-friendly pub (the owner is a biker himself), with excellent, clean, low-cost accommodation, and awesome meals. Click here for a collage of photos taken recently at the Blackbutt Pub. Overflow accommodation will be at the Blackbutt Motel (which is almost right next door to the pub). Steiny is handling ALL the accommodation bookings for both the pub and the motel. If you haven't done so already, contact Steiny (0419 672 216) ASAP and tell him your accommodation requirements. THE CLUB RIDE TO BLACKBUTT: Steiny will also be leading a club ride to Blackbutt starting at 9:00am on Saturday morning 15th September. It will probably start at the usual North Ride departure point - Caltex Carseldine Roadhouse. COMPLETE DETAILS OF THE RIDE TO OUR AGM AT BLACKBUTT (AND BACK) WILL BE PUBLISHED HERE SOON! |
