Washington Rat 2012 Calendar
Our 2012 Calender is ready!
A message from our Washington Rat Pack leader, Malcolm:
Thank you for all the support i have received over the last year, my first full year in the role as Washington Pack Leader. I can't believe how quickly it has passed.
Here's to next year being as good and better !
Mike and I have some good things planned for next year but input is always welcome from you all.
We are planning a weekend event inviting other packs to join us for rides, an evening social event, to visit our dealerships and a surprise event on the Sunday morning. We will need some assistance in finer planning and ride/event running etc for this and other rides next year so please let me know if you would like to assist us.
We are all being invited on National events for next year by other Packs (news of our Pack is spreading), I won't be able to attend these all but I will forward details to you all.
