LAUNCH of the MOTH MOTORCYCLE ASSOCIATION on 6^th SEPTEMBER 2008 at BLAAUWBERG CUCA SHELLHOLE.

 

The day coincided with a Regional race meeting at Killarney race-track, the home of Blaauwberg Cuca Shellhole.  We were blessed with sunny, clear skies (for a change!) and an excellent turn-out.  As a result, the tea garden was extremely well supported – this is a thirsty Shellhole!

Hamburgers were sold during the day while two lambs were spit-braaied in preparation for the evening’s festivities.  Swindle tickets were distributed during the early evening, and prizes included a grand prize of a sponsored Lazer helmet. (Thanks to Chris Towers of RST).

At Seven o’clock the Provincial Old Bill, Brian Porter, presented short messages of congratulations and goodwill from far and wide, and then had the pleasant task of presenting the first eleven MMA members with their “Colours”.  This concluded, prizes were awarded and the festivities got under way.

The food was good, the music and entertainment was very good, but most of all, the comaradarie was fantastic.

To Blaauwberg Cuca Shellhole and my fellow Moth and their families, a very big and hearty “Thank You” for your ideas, help, initiative and support.  To Moths from other Shellholes, thank you all for unselfishly pitching in and helping to make the day a success.  Thanks to photgraphers, Killarney Race Track and the W.P.M.C.

The whole day and evening was a resounding success due to everyone who lived by the Ideals on the DAY:-  True Comradeship and Mutual Help.  2 out 3 aint bad!

PS

After the launch, two MMA lads (Butch and Fred) left to take part in the Hippo Rally in Richards Bay .  The planned their trip to try to visit some Shellholes along the way, and they were extremely well received by all.  It certainly looks as though the MMA can prove to be a major boost for the Order in terms of Recruitment – and visits by MMA members to Rallies across the country are sure to fly the Moth flag with great effect.
