Time to start planning for the Melbourne Branch Odyssey
We're already getting enquiries so it is time to start your planning.
Put the date in your diary, book your accommodation and let Pat know of your intentions
Odyssey Update
There will be a raffle with various prizes held over the weekend and we wish to thank Greg Gleason who is both a member of our Branch and a representative of Pots R Us for kindly donating a voucher to the value of $250 which some lucky member will win.

See attached photo of Greg handing the voucher to Pat Ryan yesterday to be kept safe.
Publicity Request
I have just checked the Winter 2022 Riding On Magazine and I'm afraid I can't find any reference to Upcoming Events and I know material was submitted. Please correct me if I'm wrong
Can you please let people in your wider circle know of this event. I am personally aware of interest from SA and NSW already but people need to know and plan by August so please spread the news to those Ulysses contacts you may have interstate.
Odyssey Arrangements
Websites are one thing.
My advice - Ring and speak to a person to confirm your arrangements.
Odyssey Options
For those not doing a ride on the Saturday there are plenty of options;
Enjoy
We Are In...
I hold a receipt for deposit on booking 19735 for a Miner's Cottage for 4 people - Messr's Fittall, Tepe and Gleason, who will be accompanied by Dr Foot.
Powered Campsite Reminder
Pat was contacted by the caravan park management and the following is self explanatory
"The Mansfield Holiday Park rang to tell me they have eight powered sites left (held for us).
They will be held until Sunday and then sold to others."
It's only just over a fortnight away, if you want to secure a powered site, please do so now.

See you there
Baling out
Sorry to say Greg Gleason and I have decided not to risk travel to Mansfield for the Odyssey today due to the risk of ongoing rising floodwater.
