Fellow Rovers, Since my election in late June, I have been working to bring you the best Bash I possibly can. I assembled a great team which from the start was enthusiastic and ready to tackle the challenge! Looking back on the weekend, I have to again thank my fellow committee members for all there hard work to bring QLD Rovers such a great event. For all those other Rovers out there who feel they to might have something to bring to this great event, I encourage you all to stand up and have a go. Rovers is a learning section and I know that I have learnt alot over the past 6 months, and I hope my fellow committee members have also got something out of the experience. To all the QLD Rovers, interstate Rovers and non-members that attended the event, the committee and I thankyou very much for your continued support. We hope to see everyone next year, and hope the event can continue to build up and get better each year. The Banana Bash wrap up meeting will be held hopefully within the next month once financials and any other matters have been finalised. This will be announced on this website and MSN for all those wishing to attend. The aim of a wrap up meeting is to provide the next committee with valuable feedback on the running and planning of the event in the hope that any mistakes aren't repeated. There were alot of people that Banana Bash continues to get support from, and I would like to again thank them:
Also the committee:

Yours in Rovering, Geoffrey Clark Service Weekends [26/08/2007] Fellow Rovers, As most of you maybe aware, Banana Bash doesn't just happen very easily. There is alot of work and service which must be done to pull it off. This is where we require all Rovers to help out, each rover must complete 8 hrs of service if they wish there crew to race. If Rover crews for there service would like to nominate helping us with things like, cleaning out and repacking the container, spray painting new track signs, things like that, talk to Philip (Email Philip) we'll sort out something. Service to be undertaken on the weekend is primarily for far away crews (ie Bundy) this includes the front gate, showers, collecting firewood, marshalling events, pulling down of tracks (Sunday Arvo/Monday), pulling down the Marquee. Please watch out on MSN and also check this site regularly for any updates to service weekends. If we get everything done in one weekend, and we cancel the rest, there is always more service to do! Just get in contact with the committee and we'll find something for you to do. Let not forget the Rover motto: Service Dates of service weekends:
