Visit to Lodge Helios No. 113
10th May 2006
At the invitation of the Master of Lodge Helios, Wor Bro Ivan Foster some of the members attended on the night of Wednesday 10th May 2006.
It was a little on the chilly side but as usual the following members braved the elements and rode their bikeys Matt Turner, David Cash , Russell Medhurst, Gary Porter , Richard Griffiths, Paul Willet and Eric Palant . However one could not say the same for Dennis Setterfield and Murray Sutton for they arrived in Murray's cosy station wagon. As Muz is the VMMA's second oldest member, he had every right to travel in such comfort!
A very short Lodge meeting was held and all the VMMA members where blown away by the huge Lodge Room that confronted them.
All adjourned to the South and Turner in his normal organisational manner organised to have three members bikes brought into the South. David Cash , Russell Medhurst and Eric Palant who in turn gave a informed details of their particular bike.
Matt also spoke about the VMMA and the boys proceeded to extract the dollars from those in attendance from the sale of the VMMA Stubby holders.
Now Dennis conveniently remembered to bring along the digital camera to grab some shots but ommitted to ensure that the batteries were fully charged. Managed to get one dark shot of the Lodge room and one of the placemat and these will be forwarded in due course. ie When he learns how to download them and be able to attach to an email .
The Master also presented the proceeds of the lodge raffle ($52.00) to Matt for the ongoing work of the VMMA.
