This information
is intended to give you a brief history of our local Chapter and also inform you on what we take part in as an association. With this information we hope that it will encourage you to join us in our destination
for Great Friendship and safe and fun motorcycle riding.
First I would like to introduce you to our 2008 Executive:
Chapter Director: Robert (Bob) Lalonde
Assistant Director: Calvin Ferris
Treasurer: Sue Danis
Secretary : Gail Gilchrist
Group Liason: Lise Campbell
This club started out in 1992 with the minimum requirement of 10 members. It has since grown to approximately 60 members with 39 bikes. Several of these Members are from the original founding group. Without
these people our Association would not be the same today. Along with other long
time members they have shown us how a great time can be had by all in our club.
Our Chapter holds a monthly Meeting on the third Wednesday of each month at
the Crazy Horse in Chelmsford. Supper is @ 6:00pm and the meeting @ 7:00pm
or there abouts. We encourage members to attend the meetings as this is also a good time to socialize and talk about
rides and events that some of us may have participated in during the Month. These
meeting are held through out the off season as well. It keeps us is Contact and is a good opportunity to
plan things for the following season.
Every
motorcycle rider is invited to join us when we are riding. We meet every Sunday at Gonga’s Grill, Brady Square parking lot for our Sunday ride. Departure is 9:00 AM. Should you want breakfast come earlier. Start point or time if different will be indicated on the ride schedule page.
If
new members would like to join Sudbury Wings, they are welcome. Contact one of
our members or telephone Yvon Godin at 691-5027 for more information.
At one point in our Chapters history, the members as a whole chose to start supporting
a charity as our contribution to our community. The charity chosen is Camp Quality.
For those of you who are not familiar with Camp Quality, it is a summer camp for children that suffer from all forms of cancer.
In order to raise funds to support Camp Quality our Chapter holds two Charity
BBQs, with all proceeds going directly to the Camp. We have at times also held
a yard sale to help support the cause. We as a Chapter also organize a Ride Night
for the children at the Camp. Other clubs that take part in this evening event
are The Hogs, Freedom Riders, The Blue Nights as well as riders who are not affiliated with any organizations.
In the summer of 2002 our Chapter voted all in favour of holding an annual fall
Poker Run called The Last Hoorah Poker Run.
We also take part in many other local and out of town rides and rallies.
Towards the end of the season we have our colour run. This involves choosing
a prime destination to experience all the beautiful colours that our fall season offers us.
This is normally a weekend event.
During the winter months we like to get together for breakfast. Usually it's the first Sunday of
every month. Each time a different place is chosen and will be posted on the website to keep anyone interested informed.
And, last but not least, we have our annual Christmas Party to cap off the end of the year.
In February
we plan a weekend getaway for our group. Usually it is to a resort that has cabins that can accommodate 5 couples in
each cabin along with ice fishing and other winter activities.
