Toy Run 2023 - Breaking News - 11am Friday 8th December
|
| |
The annual Toy Run event is going ahead. The adverse weather conditions forecast and rider safety concerns
have prompted us to decide to cancel the ride to Callington and the festivities. Santa will lead a short ride
on the perimeter roads around Victoria Park for those wishing to take part.
The gathering and toy collection will still be happening with all riders and visitors welcome at Victoria Park between 8am and 11am.
Victoria Park will still be Toy Run central with Santa, a coffee van, a BBQ, SAPOL and Coast FM.
Please come and donate at the Toy Run this Sunday.
IT'S MORE THAN A RIDE, IT'S FOR THE KIDS!

Toy Run Countdown
|
| |
The Toy Run takes months to prepare and organise, and occurs on the second Sunday in December each year. We cannot control the weather
and we cannot postpone the event. Thank you for your support of the Toy Run. Our committment to provide toys to Vinnies can not stretch
beyond this weekend. They need to be able to distribute toys in time for Christmas, which in itself is a huge undertaking.
If you would prefer not to ride, please drive with
your donation to Victoria Park, or use the link provided on the Toy Run page to donate directly to Vinnies via their portal. All toy donations
will be gratefully accepted. Remember It's more than a Ride, It's for the Kids. We look forward to seeing you Sunday.

Motorcycle Observation and Awareness Guide
|
| |
The motorcycle observation and awareness guide has been created by Stephen Bardsley.
This guide targets all road users and has been prepared to inform and encourage a new approach to motorcycle rider awareness and road safety.
It's goals are to:
- assist drivers to better understand the importance of sharing roads with motorcycles
- explain to drivers how a riders life can depend on their actions and reactions
- inform drivers what are the causes of many accidents involving motorcycles
- provide drivers with tips regarding motorcycle awareness, observation and safety
- show drivers how improved motorcycle awareness & observation can save the lives of and prevent serious injuries to motorcycle riders
Road safety should be an equal and shared responsibility of all road users.
Understanding other road users can make roads safer for all.
Please search for this document online, you will find a copy available on Stephen's Linked-in page.

45th MRASA Toy Run - 10 Dec 2023

Toy Run Mashals
|
| |
This year's MRASA Toy Run will be held on Sunday 10th December. An event of this size cannot take place without having
enough marshals to help with the huge number of tasks. If you were a marshal at some stage previously, we would love
to hear from you again to help with this year's Run. If you have never been a marshal, but would like to help, please
contact Cathy or Ebi via the contacts page. Without marshals the Toy Run as we know it will need to change or may even cease.
Without marshals and volunteers to help with setting up, managing and closing down the Toy Run the event cannot go ahead.
Volunteers are getting fewer each year so if you want the Toy Run to survive, then please volunteer to help out.
|
|
Toy Run Marshal Training
|
| |
We are desperate for Volunteers this year. There are many positions to be filled. If you are interested,
please contact Ian 0427 334 843 or Cathy 0408 853 380.
Training Session 2
Saturday 18th November at 9.30 am. SAPOL training first, followed by MRASA tour of the venue and training.
The meeting point (changed) is Fullarton Rd Carpark behind the Heritage Grandstand (near the Britannia roundabout).

Toy Run Ride Coordinator
|
| |
Do you know how to organise a large number of riders, to ride in a protective formation? If so, we need you as the person
to co-ordinate and instruct the lead groups on how to ride the Toy Run effectively and safely. Please contact Cathy via
the contacts page to find out more details on this exciting opportunity.

SAMRATS Ride Group Leaders
|
| |
Do you enjoy motorcycle group riding and know your way around the hills and surrounding districts reasonably well?
Then you may consider becoming an MRASA ride group leader. As a leader, you will be required to chose start and finish
points for Sunday rides on a rotational basis with other ride leaders. You will lead the ride along your favourite route,
planning stops at bakeries and ultimately stopping somewhere for lunch before returning home. It's a great way to share
riding in the local and not so local area and enjoy some riding company, whilst having a lot of fun. If you are interested
in being a ride leader or want to know a bit more about the job please contact the Secretary via the contacts page.
