Where are we ???

The Woy Woy Peninsula is situated at the southern end of the Central Coast of New South Wales, about an hour north of Sydney. Well known for the beautiful uncrowded beaches, waterways, numerous National Parks and the world famous Australian Reptile Park, as well as other great attractions. The major areas of “The Peninsula” are Woy Woy, Umina Beach and Ettalong Beach, all of which are well serviced by road, rail and ferry. A truly scenic part of New South Wales, with some excellent roads and destinations for all keen motorcyclists.

In the beginning ....

In 2009 Rick Jones (Redback #25219), an affiliated member of Central Coast Riders Branch, began discussions with other CCRB members living in the Peninsula area regarding the travel distance to Wyong (in the Central Coast's north), 43km to attend a meeting, return home then back in the morning for a group ride, covering a distance of 172km. Over the next two years the number of members interested in forming our own branch increased to around twenty people. One day whilst at work Wayne Knight (Knightrider #47091) approached Redback and they decided on the spur of the moment to move ahead with the idea of a Peninsula Branch. Redback got together with Phil Bernasconi #54603 and Knightrider on 22nd May 2011 to set up a proposal for a new branch and submit it to Jen Woods, Natcom National Secretary. The inaugural meeting of the Woy Woy Peninsula Branch was held on 29th May 2011 to form a committee, with twenty members present (see members listed below). Natcom sent the branch an official letter of approval & sanction on 5th June 2011.

Where to from here ….

The objectives of the Woy Woy Peninsula Branch are those of the Ulysses Club in general, to provide a friendly and sociable environment for people with a common interest in the riding of motorcycles. All keen to take part in organised events at home and away. Our Branch has a big presence in the Woy Woy, Umina and Ettalong areas and organises numerous events to highlight the image of our Branch and to show that motorcycling can be an enjoyable, practical and social activity for riders of all ages. We all plan to “grow old disgracefully.”
