There will be other achievements that I will have missed but to all the members on the committee that made the above happen, our volunteers at events and trail maintenance days (special shout out to Rowena Eastric and her team of Gamba Grass eradicators), our supporters ranging from the NT Government, NTPWC, our club Sponsors Andrew Barcroft Good Guys, Cycle Zone, Blue Cycles, Spokes NT, Subaru and Eye Wise (apologies if I have missed any) to one and all thank you very much for your support and assistance through out 2015 and here is hoping that you will all be back for an even bigger and better 2016.

Egg out.
