Aug2015_Thankyou very much.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thankyou to everyone who supported this year’s Dayboro Show.
Feedback has been very positive and an early indication is looking that our attendance numbers are up on last year’s show – which is fantastic as the weather was ok but could have been better.

I would have liked the opportunity to have thanked the writer of the letter to the Editor in last month’s edition of Grapevine titled “Ease Up Turbo”. The response was to my letter that appeared in the previous month’s edition of Grapevine regarding comments made by a Sergeant X appearing in a Sunday Mail column some months back; unfortunately I cannot thank the writer due to the fact that the he/she requested their name be withheld.

In reply to “Not Sergeant X”: I was most interested in your statistical perspective – thank you—it makes sense. I do attempt to abide by the traffic rules, and try to stick to the speed limit (it is better for the hip pocket).
I would however, like to share the following scenarios which occurred to me recently on ONE SINGLE DAY, when I needed to go to a number of places, and do a number of things.

I write in reply to the “Not Sergeant X” elaborate defence of motorists who choose to drive at 80kmh in 100km zoned areas. “Not Sergeant X” appears to focus on Dayboro Road to support his view.
I commute a distance of over 40,000kms per year which encompasses Samsonvale Road, City and Freeway driving.
