April 2023 Exhaust Notes - Edition No 324 
• Terry Fraser for his lobbying with Vic Roads

• Graham Beardwood who set up our Forum some years ago

• • new member James Rousseaux for injecting new ideas and following up with a new member pack and an
open FB page to promote the Branch & take membership enquiries.

I’d like to welcome the new members of the Committee, particularly Sheryl, Ron and Marty and thank those
who’ve stayed on for another year.
As a Branch of the Ulysses Club Inc we are independently financially strong and what you’ve seen over the
past year is that the Committee has aimed to give back to the membership by way of subsidising meals at se-
lected social functions, a barrel draw at each meeting and sharing our advertising revenue by way of gift
vouchers. Special thanks to our paying advertisers, the Motorcycle Shed and Twisted Moto. Please mention
that you are a Geelong Ulysses member when you use their services.

I think that we are all aware that the world around us is changing rapidly. As we move forward, we will need to
adapt and evolve to stay relevant and effective. I am committed to working with members interests in mind to
ensure that we can navigate these changes and emerge stronger and more united.

This is a club with a mature membership, which means that we’ve often been through a lot. We have life expe-
rience and are resilient. Certainly, what I’ve seen during my time in the club is that the strength of the Geelong
Branch is not just about the socialising and riding, but also in your commitment to each other and our support
for each other in times of need.

Thanks for coming along tonight, and may the road ahead be filled with good health, adventure, camaraderie,
and joy.
