Wollondilly
Wanderers were made an official branch of the Ulysses in late 1988.
But our history began before this when John and Margaret
French used to attend Sydney Branch meetings and rides in the early
eighties. Later they went to South Coast Warriors meetings and
rides. By this time the numbers of Ulysses members had grown in
Wingecarribee and Wollondilly Shire to a level which allowed
establishment of our own gatherings and rides.
Wollondilly
Wanderers had their first meeting on the 20th March 1987 at Cam
& Marilyn Mc Donalds home at Tahmoor with fifteen members
present. Members present decided on a name and Margaret French
was elected co-ordinator. Ideas for a patch were submitted
during the next meeting. The group elected a combination of
designs by John French and John Bunter to become our
patch.
Wollondilly
Wanderers held meetings at members homes or on rides until 1997 when
monthly meetings were established. These were successful in bring
people together on a regular basis to discuss bike outings, club
business and provide a common place for new or interested people to
gather.
Wanderers
members have spent many happy hours over the years on social
outings, rides and meeting new people, catching up with old
friends and members around Australia. From early days many
people have passed through our doors contributing to the
Wanderers, to build it into the present day club. Members have
attended AGMs and Odysseys all over Australia. Many members
have moved onto other pastures but stay in contact and will
always be considered part of the Wanderers were ever they
live.
