Walgett Annual Bike Show 2008

 

 
Well hasn't the year come around quickly.  The Walgett show here and gone already.  What a beautiful two days it was we could not have asked for more perfect weather.  Once again this year we had a great number of entries for the Bike Show and also a good show of kids this year, all up we had 34 bikes registered and out of those there were four kids all told.  It was well judged by our judges this year, may I take this opportunity to thank them.  Two were locals Paul Newton and Katie Hook (psycho) and the third judge was B.J. Brice Bike and Bits from Dubbo who also had a great display of items at his stall at the Walgett Show.

I would like to also thank very much our sponsors for this year as I know how hard it has been for everyone in the past few years to contribute to any cause so a big thankyou to:

All were a very big help to keep the bike show going this year if it wasn't for our sponsors we would not be able to make this happen.
 
I hope that everyone had a great time, (I know I did) shame there wasn't any camera's around that night there was a wildcat climbing a tree for some wood that night!  
 
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank those involved in running the bike show as it does take a lot of organising as well as time to put together. Last but not least I would like to thank those who travelled as far from Bateman's Bay, Coonabarabran, Walcha and Gilgandra.  That is a long way to come and support our bike show so a big thankyou to you all.  If it wasn't for all our entrants there would not be a bike show at all thankyou all everyone.  Hope to see more of you next year.
 
K.B. 
 

Many thanks to  Puss and Donna from B.A. Gilgandra for their photo contributions.
