CLUB AWARD HISTORY
Warren Buffett, President 2005 ~ 2006
G’day
One of the things about this club is that it is entering its 42nd
year and can boast a rich history of events and characters that
have either past through our ranks or maintain their
membership. I realised at our 40th Anniversary that it is time to
start recording as much of our heritage as we can and find ways
to display it as a reminder of good times past and a reference
for when future decisions need to be made.
Here is a taste of the recent past. It doesn’t even go back half
way towards the origins of the BMW Touring Club of NSW but
you can read the names on these trophies and realise some are
club legends, several are life members, a few are great
characters and all are people who love their motorcycling and
the good times it brings.
Cheers, Wozza /

MOST ACTIVE NEW MEMBER
This trophy was donated by Motohansa. Commencing in 2001 it
is awarded to a new member who is a regular participant in club
activities. Similar to the Clubman Awards it is calculated as
follows.
In calculating the points for the
most active new member, all
members who joined in the
previous calendar year (Jan 01 to
Dec 31) are considered. For
members joining before July 01,
points are totalled from July 01 to
June 30 (the club year or part
thereof). If the member joined
after July 01 then points are
annualised (divided by the
number of days that they had
been a member and multiplied by
365).
