Happy New Year to all you lovely, wonderful, happy ladies. I hope you all had a very good time over the festive season. Now that's enough flannel. I want your money by the 15th February or you won't be getting another newsletter sent out to you. Just think that it will soon be time to go out on our bikes again, so smile and pay up or we'll lose you and we don't want that do we?

We are are meeting in the Foundry Bar in Perth at 19:30 on 2nd February. Please note, no fancy dress (as previously suggested.)

As you know Fiona is getting married on 1st Match so we are having a Hen Night for her on 23 February. Please contact Fiona for the details.

Contact Ruth please as we have to update our mailing list as some of you have moved. Remember your phone numbers, email addresses, and mobiles (if you have them.)

We are planning (jointly with Tay Valley) giving £200 to charity. It has been agreed that both clubs should nominate three charities and put their names into a hat. The one picked will be the lucky recipient. The three charities we have nominated are; Perthshire Woman's Aid, Cherrybank School, and Multiple Sclerosis Society.

PRI Breast Care Unit sent a thank you card in appreciation of the money they received. Also, Perthshire Woman's Aid were able to give the kids a Christmas party (with pressies) and are getting new bunk beds as well.  So the auction was well worth the effort, thanks all.

Sheila has the details and she has phoned around already. It will be in March sometime. Note that the club is paying for the bowling so there is no excuse for not going (and spending the money you are saving on booze.) If there is enough of you interested we will work out a way of getting there, either in cars or mini bus.

Held at Ingliston Show Ground on 9th and 10th March. Tay Valley are leaving from the Shell Garage on the Sunday (10th), time to be arranged.

Our annual charity Easter Run will be on 14th April. Any suggestions as to where we can go (nothing rude please) should be aired before the end of February.

New for this year, these will start on Wednesday 1st May. More information nearer the time but contact Tracey for the current details.

Two are loosely planned at the moment, to Lossiemouth on the 29th of June and back to Ullapool (date to be decided.) More details on these in the coming months.

We don't have any details of rallies at the moment but if anyone has any news can you please get in touch and I will let everyone know. You will have to make your own arrangements but perhaps some of us could get together.
