Hi all. For those that haven’t met me yet I’m Shaun Casey, new President of The Cafe Racer Club. I’ve held most positions in the club over the years and was president from 2009-11 and I’ve held the position of secretary since the club reformed in 2023.

Over the last three years the committee has tried a number of initiatives to gain some traction in getting going again but for various reasons nothing has really taken on.

I stood as president with a very clear agenda that the club moves away from running race meetings, ride days and the politics of it. Organising road racing in Adelaide at this point in time is beyond our club. We will still be a club you can race under though.

I want to transition into a more social club and look at offering historic registration for our bikes AND cars as well as more focus on a broad array of social events. I’m thinking a broader church more in line with where the club started 40 odd years ago. Don’t worry we can still talk crap about racing and MotoGp at meetings. Infact I want to do more of that!

I’ve given myself a year to see what happens, if we can engage some more new and old members to participate and grow the club into a place for all the bike and car misfits to hang out and ride/ drive our toys.

If it doesn’t work out then we can discuss folding the club in a years time.

Have a great Christmas everyone! Eat drink and be merry or if Christmas isn’t your thing then kick back and do your own thing.

Reminder of our annual Boxing Day Ride. Leaving from Kersbrook Hill Wines 49 Scott St Kersbrook at 11am. Meet there from 10am for coffee and muffins. Destination is Prancing Pony Brewing in Totness via a route fiendishly devised by Marty and to be kept secret until the day.

All club members welcome and new members can pay $25 membership on the day.

See ya there.
