19-21 January Fri-Sun
Pelican Point |
Pelican Point Weekend - plus mystery Ride
- Camp out with a spectacular view.
- The venue we are staying at (see map) is for Scouters.
There will probably be scouts on site, including
youth members, but they won't bother us. However, please remember that we are guests, using their facilities
with the blessing of their goodwill.
- We ask that Ulysses participants make a contribution to our hosts of $5 per person per
night. Kurt Mueller, our host/ go-between will receive these contributions.
- This event starts starts Friday afternoon, but you can come any time from then through Sunday morning.
- Usually we set up camp and follow up with a Fish'n'Chip dinner. In the past Kurt has collected
a set amount per person (last year it was $10.00 per person) for the Fish'n'chips. This year it will
need to be higher -- The West Australian yesterday said that potatoes are dearer due to
drought shortages and the cost of fish is going through the roof.
Could we please have an indication
of numbers (by calling Kurt, or on the discussion forum) so he can contact the fish shop to see if
he can try to negotiate a better deal.
The $10.00 flat rate equated to 1 serve of fish and chips, but those that were there also
feasted on other extras like prawns scallops and other side dishes.
- There are often members making shared cooked food, such as mini-pizzas for anyone wanting
a tasty nibble. Feel free to indulge, and also to offer a contribution for the ingredients.
- If convenient, do bring other food to share.
- Saturday: Kurt is working on making available a skippered sailboat for a bit of a sail.
For the evening meal, we will follow suit as the same as last year, with everyone bringing
something to share. Sooky tells me she will be doing a curry again. The mini-pizzas might be on again.
For games: Boulles is good, so are frisbees, and cricket.
- You will probably need sunscreen and the insect repellent.
The Mozzies are big enough to carry away a dog as takeaway! So bring those.
- Sunday is good for packing up and veging out.
- Weekend includes a mystery ride.
- contact Kurt Mueller, ph: 9277 7134, or John Gliddon (ph: 9332 0440).

Annual Ulysses Memorial Ride
- Ulysses Branches round the country, indeed round the world, dedicate the 2nd Sunday in September
each year as a day of rememberence for those members who have "Ridden On".
In most cases this is done in practice by all the Ulysses branches in a given area jointly or independently
riding to a place where a short ceremony is conducted to honour those members.
The tradition in the greater Perth area is for branches from as far north as Geraldton and as far south as
Bunbury and as far east as Kalgoorlie to ride to the park at Lake Lechenaltia, Rosedale Road, Chidlow.
There, someone conducts a short memorial service by the banks of the lake, at a monument dedicated by
those branches as a permantent marker for this purpose.
- After an East Perth departure, Perth branch riders will join other branches at Midland
between 9.30 am and 10 am, for a 10:30 departure to the lake.
- Note: the parklands surrounding Lake Lechenaltia are administered by the Shire of Mundaring.
The shire charges an entry fee to enter the grounds. Someone designated by the ride coordinator will
often collect the entry fee at the start of the ride and the "treasurer" for the event will pay for the
group to expedite entry.

| Albany Pageant and Xmas Lunch
- For Your Information Only, this is not a Perth Branch event.
- On Sat 6th Dec the City of Albany has invited the Ulysses Club to participate in the annual Xmas Pageant Parade.
- This will be a great opportunity for the club to promote the 2010 AGM Event and to raise even more support from a City that is really getting behind us for our event.
- The theme for the Parade is Movies. I have nominated us as the "WILD HOGS", It seemed appropriate!
- We will be near the front of the parade and it will be broadcast live (tv & radio) around the regional areas of the state.
- This also happens to be the day of our Branch Xmas party to which everyone is invited. So as you can imagine I will need numbers from each branch asap!!! Catering etc!
- The proposed format for the day is:
- 1:00pm Xmas Lunch at Fio's Resturant in Mt Barker.
- Depending on how much time is available either a short ride, coffee and cake somewhere or leave en masse for the 49km ride to Albany for the muster before the parade at 6.15pm.
- 7.00- 8.00pm Xmas parade.
- 8.30pm re-group at our unofficial club rooms (haha!), the amenities/social club at Albany Prison for a BBQ and one or four beverages of your choice.
- Please remind your crew that this is a good promotion for our 2010 AGM and they can also use the time to look around and/or book accomodation.
- Everyone is welcome, the more the merrier.
- Please get back to me, Muddy as quickly as possible with numbers.
