When I got my first bike we were told about Mini Fundays by Sydney City Motorcycles in Campbelltown. It was held once a month at Appin for kids to learn to ride and practice new skills so we became club members and I went to three Sunday Fundays before we moved to Canberra. They were always fun, we would do an obstacle course in the big paddock and put it all to use on the junior tracks. Sometimes there were only 20 kids and other times there were 50 but every month the same parents would come and set up and give us their time and experience. Mum and Dad were so impressed by these days and the improvements in my riding and my big sisters confidence that they became involved in the Mini Fundays and we would drive up to Sydney for the weekend, see my big sister, catch up with friends and have a ride day. Yesterday was the last Funday for 2016 and for us. 60 kids and their grown ups turned out for the end of year activities – we got to track ride, trail ride, we had fun with water bombs, Santa visited and gave out lolly bags and there was an award presentation. Thank you to the club and all the wonderful parents involved, it’s been great.
