RV GROUP REPORT

This report comes to you all the way from the awesome state of Tasmania,
where Marilyn and I have been hiding out since March. We’ve been getting a few
negative temperatures, and some snow lately, so time to head back to warmer
climes, me thinks.
Ulysses Members RV Group rallies have been enjoying record attendances in all
states in recent times! As a direct result of “time”, group numbers are growing,
while other groups/clubs struggle to stay afloat … an indication that “most” of
us are getting older and seeking different modes of transport to keep up with
the camaraderie we established during our earlier biking days (and some of us,
including yours truly, are still doing both). The RV Group is certainly the place to
do that!
Our immediate past National Coordinator, Ken Tacon, is still “giving it his best”
and hanging in there despite lots of ups and downs with his health. I’ve been
trying to get to QLD to see him since his diagnosis, but between Covid border
closures, festive season family obligations, Birthday Bash responsibilities, and our
re-booked Tassie trip, the occasion has not yet been realised … but soon ….
You may be aware that our AGM rally is at Mudgee (NSW) this year from 17-24
October, and registrations have been rolling in. If you are interested in joining us,
go to our website at Ulysses RV Group to register.
Wherever you are, travel safely, stay well, and stay upright!
