    No, numbers have been good. Bad years = 180ish, good = 300ish. Bill is the Thunder die hard with 30 attendances of the 31 rallies to date.

    ...here is a link to the rally 'site' including entry details etc, guys & gals....
    Dear Fellow Riders,
    Here are details for this year's Thunder Rally, follow the link. When=October 25/26/27th. Where=Sheba Dams Recreation Area (Nundle, 40k south of Tamworth). We have solid raffle prizes, including vouchers for bike gear and more! We ask that you fill out the form and send it in asap to help us get it right on the day!...AND...spend 2 minutes sending the info along to your group of fellow riders etc. Every dollar we save on postage, is another dollar we can give the Spinal Unit! By doing this you are taking your place along with the 9000+ riders who have travelled 8,000,000+ks supporting this concept over the last 31 years. Well Done! It's a wonderful ride and a beautiful rally site. Don't forget your fishing gear, some excellent trout have been caught right at the site! (exceeding 4kilo!). This link includes entry forms, pictures, and info'. All bikes & riders welcome! http://groupspaces.com/thunderrally Ideally we'd love you to come for a ride and have some fun up at the Thunder, but, don't forget, there is a "non-attendance option" for those who still want to support the Spinal Unit and get their badge, cap & neck buff etc, but just can't get there. Ride safe, one and all.

    Thanks for adding that one Mal, I presume that you are coming, so we have at least five intended rallyists. Now to hunt down the other 295...
