The Macedon Ranges Ulysses Group commenced life when current
member Richard Prisgrove obtained a list of Ulyssians who resided in and
around Sunbury with the intention of forming a ‘splinter’ group who would
gather for local rides. Richard made contact with Brian Dixon, David Thomas,
Terry Duggan and with Ray Lane decided they should be able to get 20-40
riders together to form a group.
The first newsletter was sent out on the 28th February 1999 inviting approximately 25 people to the first
ride on the 14th March 1999. Splinters,
as it was then known, continued to grow until the 22nd September 1999 when Richard advised Natcom that they would
become a formal group within the Ulysses network.
The first official meeting of the Macedon Ranges Ulysses
Group was on the 26th October 1999.
The first ‘committee’ from that date was:-
- Ian Diss - Ride Coordinator/Treasurer
- Brian Dixon - Publicity/Assistant
Organizer
- Richard Prisgrove - Organizer
At a special meeting held on the 21st November 2000 attended by 35-40 members the first structured
committee was elected:

Brian
