This thread IS NOT a discussion thread.
If you want to put yourself forward for the post of moderator please post below and sell yourself to the members.
We have trouble getting people together for rides so i would propose postal votes via the forum to be set up by George or Rusty. Thanks in advance for all the extra work you have been caused guys. This will give all members who consider themselves active to make their preferences known.
As per Rusty's instructions; nominations to be submitted by 30 September. Votes to be placed by 31 October.
Good luck everyone now is your chance to shine.

I wish to re apply for the post. In WA we have many difficulties in getting riding groups together mainly due to the geophysical issues of distance. for this reason we had until about 12 months ago 2 distinct groups, the northies and the southies. This worked very well for about 2 years until for various reasons, people were temporarily not able to lead rides. No one stepped up and ride frequency slowed to a trickle. Our members remain close by keeping in touch electronically especially through winter. Even though I have not met some members personally I feel I know most of you even if its only a little. I myself have had to pull back dramatically this year as i have been dealing with some personal issues which are mostly sorted now. My hopes for the group are that we should ALL actively promote the ride & forum group to try to grow numbers. Regular monthly rides on the same sunday of each month should be the core of our meeting up with the meet & greet in between. My main thoughts are that no one should feel pressured into riding nor berated for not riding or turning up. We are essentially just a bunch of people who happen to ride the same motorcycle (or we were when we first met) We should not feel pressured to leave if we change bikes. To me its once a shadow rider always a shadow rider. That is essentially the reason people will stay, for the true friendship ,camaraderie and support.
that is my submission. thank you for reading

Hi fellow Shadow Riders of Perth and surrounds... This is my letter of intent to stand for the position of State Coordinator .
My main reasons for nominating for this position are : I want to see our group continue to be a social group with a focus on cruisers of all types but primarily Shadows. To proactively promote ourselves to the increasing number of Shadow owners in WA and at any wider motorcycle community events we participate in , an increase in positive profile will do more to bring new riders into the group than doing nothing.More riders will bring more options . Most importantly I feel the group needs to have choices and all members need to have the ability to speak openly about any concerns , opinions and ideas without judgement. Listening to peoples concerns can solve problems before they become major issues.I feel that this not happening has been an issue within the group for some time which is why we are at this point now.
Cheers Trog
