2025-01-19 Convoy for kids Ride Report

Members may recall that Phil Lunn attended the AWMEC Club Meeting of 26 November 2024? He provided details of the Albury Wodonga Twin City’s Shannon’s National Show N Shine and Convoy 4 Kids event , to be held on 19 January 2025.
Our Club took part in the event, riding in the Convoy 4 KIDs.   It was a worthwhile occasion. Funds were raised for Country Hope , which supports families who have children diagnosed with cancer, or other life-threatening illnesses.

Michael Mellor rode his Honda CB1100F (it’s not entered on the Ride Attendance Sheet as “Club Plated”?).
It was a hot day, and our riders were feeling the heat in Young Street, Albury. The Convoy ground to a halt as the large number of trucks entered the Albury Showgrounds, for the Show ‘N’ Shine  event. If we ride in this event again, we’ll try to negotiate a position up the front of the Convoy.
