Take 2
After delivering female contingents bike and gear back to her home (night before), I settled into pizza, coke and TV. Before sleeping away what can only be thought of as the worst take off in history " Huston we have a problem"

Finally morning arrives.......Family (son in -law & daughter) arrive on their bikes to escort me to Coffs Harbour AGM, were i'am to meet the Pom and the Pro.. (LOL)

Daughter & Son-In-Law

After 6 hours travel having stopped at Hospital to visit ex female contingent and getting update of condition, we arrived at registration point for AGM only to discover it no longer existed and had now closed. Therefore, we went to showground and spent an hour locating and registering for the Saturday night dinner. A big thankyou to Naomi and the Coffs Harbour Club for all your help.

Having a quick look around showground discovering that most vendors had now closed, and not being able to spend any money on all the great bike gear ( at some stage daughter suggested i purchase a beanie so that my head would be warm whilst away, I assured her I would not be camping for anyone) that i had been told would be there, went to locate motel.

I as the Pilot took the lead, with my trusty Navman. After taking every turn possible back and forth i finally asked a friendly Policeman who kindly gave us an escort to the motel.

Dispatching what seemed like 3 truck loades of gear into the room, we had 30 minutes to shower, change, make yourselves presentable for the dinner. During this time we had numerous phone calls from our fellow Ulysses members most concerned if they should keep seats for us.

me in hotel room what i can now describe as hevan on a stick

Thanks to the great service from the local United Church ( and a recent Ulysses Member) a bus service pickup came to the motel door every five minutes. Didn't need Navman for this one.....

Had great meal, company from Tamworth fellow Members, few laughs, and unable to locate the Pom or the Pro. Caught bus back to room nearly got lost, and curled up in what can only be described as heaven compared to.
