Presidents Report
What a month one of the busiest for the year, with Bikes thru the Bar,
our Odyssey, & Moto Gp it has been crazy & fast, like we need a month to
be any faster than usual.
Bikes thru the Bar started out with there being snow in Stanthorpe the
night before we left, something to look forward to heading to Warwick, a
small turn out from the Branch had an enjoyable weekend. Our Odyssey,
possibly one of the most successful the Branch has seen, thanks to work of a few people who
put a lot of their time into this event I will not attempt to name them in fear of missing
somebody, they know who they are and for them a huge thank you. The rest of the year is
quite busy with our Christmas Party, Girraween visit and the various Toy Runs.
Cheers,
Russell

Sagittarians are born adventurers. They like smashing spiders with their bare
hands and trying to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night with the lights out. They would sooner sustain crippling injury than do anything the easy
way. Sagittarians love to entertain their friends, family, and total strangers.
This often includes transvesticism. Nearly every Sagittarian was born into the wrong gender. Sagittarians are loud and have no social graces. They seek to of-
fend. Sagittarians usually have nicknames like Thunderpooper or Vomitus Maxi-mus. Animals and small children love Sagittarians. This is unfortunate since
adults usually hate them. However, Sagittarians make excellent circus freaks and vagrants. Sagittarians use interpretive dance to describe philosophical con-
cepts. Buttons and bumper stickers with rude sayings on them are a trademark
of the Sagittarian. They throw food at expensive restaurants and ask lots of questions in the middle of church. Don't ever bring a Sagittarius home to meet
your parents.
He or she will tie up your mother and pants your dad. Famous Sagittarians in-clude the Geo Metro. The holiday during which the sun is in Sagittarius is
Thanksgiving. This is highly appropriate since everyone eats until they're sick and passes out while a bunch of cross-dressers and huge inflatable things wan-
der through the streets of New York, the most Sagittarian town in the universe.
The Shriners driving around in the tiny little cars are a very Sagittarian image.
Even more so if there's a ridiculously busty woman stuffed into the car as well. A Sagittarius is always a better Madonna than Madonna. Men can pull off sequins,
and women can pull off construction helmets. The Sagittarius is incapable of be-ing unhip.

MotoGP News
In three consecutive weeks we had the Japanese, Malaysian and Australian MotoGP's so all teams
were kept very busy. The Moto3 champion was decided at Sepang in Malaysia and Moto2 and the
MotoGP championships were decided at Phillip Island.
Stoner returned to the track at Motegi in Japan and finished fifth and getting fourth place on the
grid. His leg was obviously still giving him some trouble judging by his restricted movements on
the Honda.
Pedrosa won the Japanese and Malaysian MotoGP's however his run came to an end at Phillip
Island when he crashed out on the second lap.
The MotoGP podium in Japan was 1.Pedrosa 2.Lorenezo 3. Bautista.
The MotoGP podium in Malaysia was 1.Pedrosa 2.Lorenzo 3.Stoner. Although it was a wet race it
was red flagged and finally stopped because of the rain.
Sandro Cortese clinched the Moto3 championship by winning here.
The weekend at Phillip Island was dry although overcast,
windy and cold, it did however prove to be probably the best
weekend of the season for a number of reasons. Early on race
day one of the track commentators made a tongue in cheek
comment “It would be great to see an Australian on the
podium in all three classes today”. In the Moto3 class young
Arthur Sissis (17 years old) had a brilliant race and finished
3rd
after starting 11th on the grid. His team-mate won with
Miguel Oliveira coming 2nd
.
The Moto2 class was another brilliant race with Marc
Marquez looking to clinch the championship. Although
he had a strong ride he was not about to take to many
risks so stayed in 3rd place for most of the race. Ant
West started in 8th
place after doing well in qualifying
and was determined to finish well up the ranks. Towards
the end of the race he was chasing Marquez 3rd
, Reading
2nd
and Espargaro leading. Two laps to go and Marquez
was passed, approaching the last corner Reading lost two
places and so Ant West finished in 2nd
place. A really
good ride to add to his 3rd
place finish the week before at
Sepang in Malaysia. Marc Marquez was crowned the winner of Moto2 Championship after
finishing 3rd
. Pol Espargaro was the
race winner.
MotoGp The ultimate race of the
day.
Casey Stoner had a fantastic
weekend. He set the fastest times in
every session and started on pole
position. His cautious start saw him
in 3rd
position with Lorenzo leading
and Pedrosa 2nd
. Coming into corner
4 on lap 2 as Stoner made to pass
Lorenzo Pedrosa lost the front end
and came down, unfortunately for
him that was the end of his race and championship hopes. Stoner however got past Lorenzo and
stayed at the front to win the race by almost 9 and a half seconds. Cal Crutchlow had a hard race
and managed 3rd
place. Lorenzo celebrated his second MotoGp Championship win with his 2nd
place at Phillip Island.

Well for an event that’s been going for some time, this year’s event had a different feel to
it with our some of members embarking on their yearly migration south to Phillip Island.
But as event coordinator
the show must go on, (no
rest for the wicked) work-
ing with a team like ours
we had the right mix to put
on a good Odyssey. Friday
was a complete surprise on
arrival as I met with Vicki
to be told that we had al-
ready had members from
other Branches set up
camp. Well what can I say,
but let’s have a good time,
as the afternoon turned to
evening the camp filled quickly, Ray and myself went around handing out wrist band and
getting the raffle started. As we headed to the area where a net was strung up, we noticed
some members playing volley ball. The BBQ meet and great was more like a reunion of
friends, as the night went on and the drinks flowed freely (I drank all mine) not much
more to say.
Saturday started
with WTF hap-
pened too....oh yes,
now I remember
(vaguely).
Right let’s get
back on track, we
have some work
and organising to
do. Ray, Di, Keren,
Russell were al-
ready into it. I just
sat and watched
things evolve till the
fuzz cleared. The
news was getting
better all the time the number of people attending had grown to a very impressive size.
Page 15 Ulysses Club Inc. Redcliffe Branch Newsletter November
When told that we had some 100 prizes up for Raffles, it was time to get the raffle book
out and Sell, Sell, Sell.
Now there’s something about a
gathering like this that brings out
a sense of “yeah this is right” so I
had no trouble selling tickets. All
day long members dug deep to
play the game and take a chance
on winning.
Around the camps it was do what
you want, sit relax or go for a ride,
the smell of the Lions Club BBQ
was a call to lunch, with the
events area set up and the stage
was set for the afternoons festiv-
ity’s. Different branches cheer
squads set themselves up in the shaded areas and the rest just intermingled.
One o’clock was the start time, but there’s still one Branch missing, Sunny Coast! Then we
hear this call to arms
as we look around we
see a line of blue
shirts and wigs
marched out with the
lead flag bearer help-
ing to make their
branches grand en-
trance. I must say on
first sight seeing this
they looked like refu-
gees from the State of
Origin.
Well, this had to be a violation of bad taste, if not in taste then surely in timing a fine had
to be issued.... and was.
Page 16 Ulysses Club Inc. Redcliffe Branch Newsletter November
Let the Ulympic Games begin!
The first event of the day was the Boys Tyre
Toss competition, which consisted of throwing
two tyres one light, one heavy, once with each
hand depending on which was their stronger
arm. I’m no Pancake expert but there were
some mighty fine TOSSERS in the field that day
showing they were equally adept at tossing to
the left and tossing to the right.
There were some that
had the measure of it
showing amazing
TOSSING SKILLS and
very fine distances tal-
lied, (you could tell
who the lefty’s were),
there weren’t too many
miss-fires or casualties
with much cheering
from onlookers. Say-
ing
TOSS,TOSS,TOSS!
Page 17 Ulysses Club Inc. Redcliffe Branch Newsletter November
It was the girls up next, with
some very good tossers amongst
them too! And some that
matched the boys and yes the
crowd gave a good account of
themselves when the odd
friendly shot came close! It can
be said that a member from
Redlands stood out for mention
(turn your high beam off
Donna!).
After a well earned Drinks
break as the day was a rather warm one in low thirty’s out in the open.
The competitors next
lined up to inflict a
barrage of tennis balls
on a bunch of little
people (gnomes) this
event sorts out those
who can and those who
can’t, you just had to
have a go or two or
three, again
Page 18 Ulysses Club Inc. Redcliffe Branch Newsletter November
Quickly the numbers run down to just a few canny players left with the ability to hit time
and time until only a few standing gnomes finally decided the eventual winners.
to
With the competitive spirit in full swing a game of lawn bowls with a slight twist, instead
of balls, coloured flat discs are used, this too
proved to be a very strangely confusing contest
where even the wind could decide the out-
come as it tended to flip some of the discs over .
After a number of changed ends whitling down
of competitors and a few head scratches the in-
evitable tape meas- ure was employed when the
disputes became heated, eventually the game
ended. And I’m not really sure who won that.
Ha, Ha ,Ha!
Page 19 Ulysses Club Inc. Redcliffe Branch Newsletter November
Now the game we all
loved was the balloon
toss which goes
something like this.
You toss the balloon
to your team-mate,
they then catch the
balloon and then
take one step back
and repeat until your
balloon was broken
or you dropped it (or
it got stolen or some other such Balloony nonsense) and you were out.
However the rules seemed to be lost in time or space as balloons went back and forth, and
a halt was called so those still in the game had to take
one step back and throw, some very amazed looks as
balloons seemed to go through hands disappear and
then re-appear again in their hands as different col-
oured balloon, Hmmmm!
As this was going on those eliminated turned on each
other with wet abandon to score some direct tits..
No ,sorry, hits!..sorry again. Back to the game, some-
body did win after the girls chased down Pumbah got
caught stealing balloons and the resultant pitched bat-
tle of thrown water balloons ended up being a wet t-
shirt competition but I believe there was a result of
sorts. And I mean the throwing variety, not the t-shirt
variety.
The intellectual event called the Pisspot Regatta began where competitors had to sit on
their arse and row in a fash-
ion whilst downing a beer,
the team that drank the most
and the fastest or got the wet-
test or rowed the best or just
finished won? Anyway the
spectacle was viewed as a
roaring success with all that
competed and the crowd
sated.
The presentations of the
trophies were held at 3:30pm
Page 20 Ulysses Club Inc. Redcliffe Branch Newsletter November
After the awards those who had to
head south to Philip Island said their
goodbyes, some members went for a
swim in the lake to cool off, the rest
just cooled off in a more of a dry man-
ner back at the bar. Then it was time to
get ready for the evenings fun, at 5
o’clock the raffle was closed, 5:30 the
draw started and what an exercise that
was! With over 100 prizes to go out
team work was needed, I drew then
Ray called, Di and Keren handed out
the prizes this went on till 6pm.
Then dinner was served up by the Lions Club, a very enjoyable meal of goulash with a
more polished name, then sweets were
served. We thanked the Lions club for
the spread and the efforts that they put in
serving drinks all day. By this time the
“Ubuy” was closed. It was now after
7pm and the raffle draw only half
drawn so we kept on calling until 7:30.
Then settling in for the “Ubuy” auction
some very heavy bidding on some of
the lots were made and not so on oth-
ers, two items on the table which were
fancied was a pair of wedding wine
glasses also a knife and server set. A
few people were after these lots one in
particular, Lorna from Lions Club, is to
be married later this year, but she had
been out bid. While the remaining
items were being sorted out and
moneys taken we came to the said
lots and the winning bid was read
out and came to collect her prize,
even though her son was to be wed
she gave the lots over to Lorna as a
wedding present, the crowd
cheered as one at this most gener-
ous gift.
Page 21 Ulysses Club Inc. Redcliffe Branch Newsletter November
It must be pointed out over
the past two days that a
smoke haze surrounded the
venue with fires on the
other side of the lake and in
the hills kept the Rural Fire
Brigade very busy all week-
end and a constant re-
minder why we had gath-
ered here in the first place.
To help raise some funds
for the fireies. We were to
present a cheque to the fire
warden during the evening
but he was too tired to do
this and his daughter gratiously accepted the cheque on behalf of the Fire Brigade for one
thousand dollars.
Party time “Rodgee Dodge” had set
up while the Raffle and Dinner was
going on, and now the with every-
body in the mood and the floor
cleared to make room the music was
classic Rock,R&B and Country and
Western thrown in, we all danced the
night away, oh yes we had an ama-
ture hour where a few members took
on different persona’s assisted by
Rodger to give it some sort of polish.
This went down well and involved
and entertained everyone till 11:30 when the crowd wound down and went to bed or just
sat round enjoying a few more drinks and the com-
pany.
Sunday morning a lot of happy Ulyssians taking
breakfast from the Lions Club BBQ and relaxing, were
taking their time to start the day. The general feeling
was this Odyssey was a good one and next years will be
as good if not better, time to start planning the next
one.
