Well it’s nearly that time of year again. The third weekend in May (the one after Mothers Day) is the set aside every year for the Ruptured Budgie Rally. So if you haven’t already done so you had best mark the calendar and keep it free for a weekend of great riding and some fun and frivolity at the Budgie. For those of you that need to get a leave pass I suggest you do something exceptional for Mother’s Day. It should earn you enough brownie points from that someone special. Hence the reason we always hold the rally the weekend after Mother’s Day every year.

Following suggestions from previous years rally goers we have made a few improvements this year. Firstly the pricing for Saturday night’s roast meal has been reduced from $15.00 to a more reasonable $12.00 (as it was in 2008) and the way it will be served will ensure the meals are nice and hot when you receive them. We have also installed four semi permanent toilet blocks (replacing the old tent versions) to make the experience a little more comfortable and less stressful when nature calls. There are now two toilets dedicated solely for use by the fairer sex (so they don’t have to keep putting the seat down).

Some of the proceeds from the rally are set aside for improving the experience each year but more importantly a good portion goes towards helping the local community and other worthy charities. If you have any suggestions for future rallies just drop us a line at info@motoguzziclubqld.org. So mark the calendar and come along and enjoy yourself at the 2010 Ruptured Budgie Rally.

The Moto Guzzi Club of Qld invites all motorcyclists to join us for the 2010 Ruptured Budgie Rally at Mingoola. Where is Mingoola you ask? It's about 60km west of Tenterfield on the Bruxner Highway. Check out the maps further down the page. Over 330 people attended the rally in 2009, and the weekend was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who turned up and helped make it such a great time. If you haven't been before don't be shy. Pack some warm clothes and your tent and get to the Budgie. See you at the bar in 2010!
