Rally News

There was discussion and a decision was made to hold the RAMS “Unrally” again in 2022 at the Pickwick location. This proposal was made by Spencer Bennett, seconded by Chip Mann, and passed unanimously by those RAMS present.

The Secretary/Treasurer was selected to contact the Campground Management and discuss rental prices and possible use of the “primitive sites” for 2022 as well as site occupancy limits post Covid Pandemic.

VP Corner

VP had nothing to report/discuss this month.

Old Business.

If anyone still does not have their picture in the online directory, please see Spencer or Rosey.

2. If you would like a RAMS Patch (old Logo only), decal (old and new Logos) or need RAMS business cards, please get with Spencer.

For the Good of the Club

Check RAMS Website for other Club’s Rally Schedules. Please follow up on each event’s web site as some may be rescheduled or cancelled due to State or local Covid situations.

The subject of the RAMS Club Trailer was brought up by Chip Mann, with the question being “what were the plans for it, given that we no longer do a Rally?” There was a brief discussion and it was decided to table the topic for the time being as some members felt that we may get back into the Rally Business after Covid and will need it then. There is some repair work that needs to be done to the trailer and that will be set up and taken care of later in the year.

There is a RAMS Contingent planning to ride up to the Falling Leaf Rally, October 8-10, 2021. Rally Location is: Bass River Resort 204 Butts Road Steelville, Mo. 65565See VP Jimmie Smith if you want to ride up with the group.

Need volunteers for Donuts at the Dealer for October, November, and December. RAMS will reimburse you for costs. See Greg LieVan if interested.

2022 Dues are $25.00 and are due on January 1, 2022. They may be paid either by Cash or Check to the Secretary/Treasurer or via PayPal or Credit Card on the RAMS Website.

6. If you have an item you would like to see on the next meeting agenda, please get it to the Secretary by the Wednesday prior to the meeting and it will be added to the next meeting agenda. This is not required for an item to be discussed, but it will make sure it gets in the mix. Send the information to: officers@bmwrams.com
