These are just a few of the events that the Northern Beaches Social Riders have been up to.
NBSR’s 5th Birthday Party, July 2009
We couldn’t have asked for a better day to celebrate our 5th Birthday. A perfect blue sky without a cloud in sight. With
the bbq fired up, tea & coffee all around, the kids (& some adults) played volleyball, fished, blew bubbles while others
enjoyed the warmth of the sun & some conversation. There was something for everyone. With some speeches & a
presentation of a five year badge for those members that have been a part of NBSR since the beginning it was then time for dessert .

Go-Karting At Wilberforce, August 2009
On a glorious winters day we decided to ride out to Wilberforce for a day of hopefully not too many spills & try our
hand at go-karting. After watching some of the other drivers do some laps it was our turn & right from the start it was
every man, woman & child for themselves. Plenty of laughter was had especially once you found out if your cart had
brakes or not. We headed off to Pitt Town Sporting Club for lunch where the laughs continued.

Blood & Guts Run, September 2009
We set off for our third Blood & Guts run. On to Glenbrook for breakfast & some fun in the park, it was then off to
Nepean Hospital to donate blood. Everyone was in fine form, plenty of laughter & jokes going around especially
as the needles went in. A couple of hours later after we were all full of milkshakes, crackers & cheese, jelly beans
& Tim Tams we were off.

Teddy's Memorial Ride, September 2009
This was a ride for “A Brother Lost, Never Forgotten”. We rode from the Terrey Hills Tavern to North Richmond
Panthers for breakfast then back to the Terrey Hills Tavern for lunch & to celebrate Teddy’s
life. A truly great
way to remember a Brother

Halloween, October 2009
What a night! The scene & atmosphere was set with the mist & fog filling the air. There were goons, ghouls, mummies,
devils, Frankenstein, goblins floating above your head & the sounds coming from the graveyard would send shivers
down your spine. A night with lots guessing as to who was who under their disguises, lots of food everywhere, plenty
of chatting, dancing, laughing & people ending up in the pool.
Big Blue Ride Fundraiser, November 2009
We stepped out all in ‘blue’ down to the Harbord Diggers to support two of our own members about to embark on a six
month journey around the world on their bikes to raise awareness of Youth Mental Health, Youth Depression and Youth
Suicide.
The night had everything from great entertainment by The 3tles & The Vicky Turner Band as well as some
colourful
Bollywood dancers. There was a couple of auctions, great food & as always plenty of laughs & great company.
Good Luck Joe & Ray!!

Christmas Party, December 2009
This was held at the Belrose Bowling Club once again & what a great night. The atmosphere was full of the festive season
& the theme this year was ‘Come As You Want’. There was a mixture of costumes as well as a lot of Christmas outfits &
colours. There was great food, music, awards, lots of laughter & great company, this was a fantastic way to end a really
busy & successful year.
Australia Day, January 2010
With banners up, shade tent erected, donation boxes displayed & all the bikes on display, we gathered for the Australia
Day festivities at Melwood Oval in Forestville. The morning had something for everyone from yummy bacon & egg rolls,
pony rides, reptile exhibit, chainsaw demonstration, mini jeep rides & a lot more. We also got the opportunity to meet
some special HeartKids families.
Ride To Acqua Vista, February 2010
A perfect Saturday morning saw us head for a ride up to Acqua Vista in Umina. What a beautiful spot for breakfast,
amazing views & great food. Most members that attended can strongly recommend the BIG BREAKFAST!!!
Wedding Escorts, March 2010
Another thing our club gets involved with are wedding escorts. Although the weather was not on our side that didn’t
stop seventeen bikes/members turning up for the event. As a result, donations were made to our chosen charities.
Thank you.
Easter Raffle, April 2010
In addition to our usual meat tray raffles being sold on a Thursday night at the Terrey Hills Tavern we also held an
Easter Raffle. While members & guests were chatting & laughing, in hops the Easter Bunny bearing little chocolate
Easter Eggs for all. With the generosity of members & the public we were able to put together five baskets full of
chocolate eggs, plush Easter Bunnies & numerous passes to different places. Thank you to all for helping us raise
money to help brighten the lives of young children.
Berrima Ride, May 2010
With no other plans for the weekend it was decided to go for a ride to Berrima. We were very pleased to have Ryan,
one of our YOTS recipients join us for the day. We looked around town, bought a few lollies, tried on a few hats,
grabbed a pie & sat down in the park to soak up the sun.
War Vets Open Day, June 2010
This has become an annual event for our club. Meeting at the Terrey Hills Tavern, we were all keen to provide some
of our cherished Veterans with a day they would be talking about for a while. Upon arriving & with all doors open it
enabled us to get the bikes into the rooms & allow those who wanted their picture taken on a bike to do so. A highlight
of the day was meeting a truly inspirational lady, Mrs Maze, who has flown planes & to top it off showed us her
motorcycle riders licence dated 1942 along with a fuel coupon for one gallon of fuel. The stories they shared about their
life’s journeys were amazing.
Barbara Holborow's 80th Birthday, June 2010
We were very honoured to have been invited to such a remarkable lady’s birthday. There were people everywhere, a
crowd of family & friends, Father Chris Riley, Col Joye with his wife & ukulele in hand preformed the best rendition of a personalised “Happy Birthday” followed by “Bye Bye Baby” & “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. What a truly special day!

Ten Pin Bowling, July 2010
We all gathered at the Dee Why RSL Ten Pin Bowling Alley set to send the pins flying & compete for the trophies, & with
last year’s champions out with injuries the trophies were there for the taking. What excitement, NBSR took over several
lanes & the friendly competition was underway. Strikes, near misses, bumper shots, complete misses, all receiving huge
rounds of applause.
