Board Activity

There are may issues which the MRAA Board deals with on a monthly basis, which are rarely documented. Here is a list of things which various members of the Board are dealing with at present and over the last month:

Melbourne Motorcycle Expo - The MRAA stand was set up by Membership Secretary Anton Lange and Vice-President John Karmouche and manned on Sat/Sun of the Expo by members of the Board and several other MRAA volunteers.

TAC Rider's Tips Competition - Vice President John Karmouche and Ordinary Board Member Detlef Lamp spent a day at TAC HQ as part of the judging panel for this competition.

MRAA Oz GP Run - After many long months of concerted meeting with City of Casey, who host the event, Ex MRAA Vice President, supported by Membership Secretary Anton Lange and his team of MRAA Marshalls participated/supported this year's MRAA Oz GP Run. Work started for these people at 5.30am that day! Special mention must be given to volunteer Rose McCarthy who organized this year's Oz GP Run Badges and who with her husband (Ex MRAA Treasurer) DJ manned the MRAA Tent at the Oz GP Run.

VMAC - Vice President John Karmouche attended a VMAC meeting at VicRoads on Thursday 11th November. Most of what takes place at VMAC is confidential and can not be generally discussed here. Needless to say the MRAA view on motorcycle issues and TAC levy expenditure is being heard.

4Bs - Ordinary Board Member Michael Dabbs has taken on the responsibility of organizing the 4Bs.

Marshalls for Pink Ribbon Ride - MRAA will be providing marshalls for the Pink Ribbon Ride which is being held this weekend on Sunday 21st October.

Toy Run - Planning and preparation continues for this year's 30th Annual Toy Run.

Other Issues - President Dale Maggs continues to receive dozens of calls every week from riders and other organizations in relation to matters which concern riders and from organizations who want involvement from MRAA.
