Meeulanders annual Dart Run and a change of format

As you can see this event takes place on Saturday this week, this is our main fund raiser for the year apart from members annual dues.
This event started originally as a one day run at local venues but a few years ago was changed to a sleepover, this however put a lot more stress and work on members, not to mention the additional expense of the venues. Also suitable venues have been getting hard to find with some pricing themselves out of the equation.
We started looking at venues earlier in the year but another problem was that the biking calendar was becoming extremely crowded, especially after the winter when the weather improves.
At committee level it was decided to suggest a return to the original format and this was agreed upon by the members thus we are making use of our favourite biker bar, the Phoenix in Vredenburg who have kindly allowed us to use the premises at no cost. They have a very good bar and always great music and there is tent space available for any visitors wishing to stay over.
Members have been working hard to get sponsorships so there are a lot of prizes up for grabs, also a very good lucky draw.
So come on up for some legendary west coast hospitality you Capetown bikers, and any others from places other than the Mother City, come spend a fun day with us.
