Apology.

This is the first copy of the RAM we've been able to produce since April. We're sorry about that but Scootaville took up nearly all our time and when added to the time I spent doing what I was told around the house, there was no time left for anything.

Thanks for waiting!!

Scootaville.

Scootaville has been run and all those involved have voted it a success. We raised $25,000 for legacy, made a bunch of new mates, saw a lot of the country  previously unseen, met some lovely and very generous people, had fun with primary school kids - and are very determined to do it all again in 2023. Work has already begun on planning for next year with the proposed route HERE though that might have to change depending on the availability of accommodation etc - we'll do a run out there soon to check things out.  Next year's event will be a bit longer in both distance and time and we'll be back on scooters instead of bikes, though we won't be using the 50cc Mopeds as originally planned. After completing the 2022 trip we've realised the little Mopeds wouldn't stand a chance tackling outback Queensland's hills and distances, their not being available was actually a God-send, we were forced onto Honda 125cc bikes, all of which did a superb job and although being flat out for the 2400km, apart from one flat tire, didn't miss a beat. Says a lot for Honda's engineering.

Next year we'll be onto bigger engined scooters which means you'll need a motor bike licence to be able to ride. If you don't have a licence, there will be a limited number of supporter spots available. So - if you want a great time, want to meet a great bunch of people and raise a heap of funds for legacy, start planning your leave, your time off, or whatever - now. 

Ted Mac took a heap of photos and videos of the 2022 trip, we'll have a story of the event in the next issue, in the mean time, here's some video he took while in Winton.

More later.

Raffle:

Guess what!!  We're holding another raffle and once gain you could win one of those magic little Kymco Mopeds. This one has had a bit of work done to it and it gets along quite well. The proceeds will enable us to buy a bigger scooter which we'll evaluate for Scootaville 2023.

Once again, Legacy is the beneficiary so if you haven't already bought a ticket(s) please do. There's more info and how to get your tickets HERE.

Buying a new car?

If you’re contemplating buying a new car, we could save you thousands. The Radschool Association has done a deal with Australia’s biggest car brokers whereby you can purchase a car (your choice of make, colour, specs etc) at fleet discount prices.

One of our blokes made use of this facility recently and bought a Toyota Rav4 and saved thousands. You can too!

To see further details, go to the Radschool Assoc home page (HERE) then click on “New Car Purchase”.

Discounts.

Current financial members can now receive a 12% discount on the base rate of the day when hiring a car from Thrifty. If you’re thinking of hiring a car or an SUV or a people mover, this could save you heaps. If you’re a member, send us an email HERE and we’ll send you the promo code.

Errors

Our aim is to have this site error free – but that’s probably impossible. But with your help I reckon we can get pretty close. If you see any errors, be they punctuation, spelling, links that don’t work, facts wrong etc, (no matter how small) please let us know so we can fix them.

Thankfully, Ken Morris, who lives over in the West, proof reads our print before it goes public and points out our many errors, not a lot escapes him I can tell you!   

Thanks Ken.
