Fundraising Evening for the World Champs
Well! Didn’t we have the ultimate 60s evening!
“What’s a 60′s evening?”
The best fun, music and dance experience the members of the Australian Footbike Team have experienced in ages!
The night was filled with people from all walks of life and ages who came along to help raise funds to send the Australian Footbike Team to the World Champs in Italy. They also came along to sing and dance to 60′s songs fantastically presented by Robbie McGowan, or as he’s better known ‘That 60′s Guy’. Robbie played his guitar and sang, song after song, classic tunes from the 60′s including ‘Ferry Cross the Mersey’ through to ‘Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head’ and ‘House of the Rising Sun’.
The floor vibrated with feet extolling their enjoyment with the entertainment. Robbie’s great voice and welcoming warmth was perfectly balanced with his wicked sense of humour that had us grinning and shouting encouragement throughout the night.
And what impressed many of us was that we knew the songs even though we were never around in the 60′s (as one woman well in her 70′s tried to convince me during the evening). Her reasoning for knowing the lyrics was that a classic survives well through the ages!
Huge thanks to Jo, Hass and Ali for organising the night, and The Pet Resort for gift vouchers, Red Day Coaching for the wine and chocolate package, That 60′s Guy for tickets to future shows, Kickbike Australia for the Wine, Jem Glass for their generous donations, and Kerrie Lathopolous for her amazing Kickbike Cake (check out the photo). And special thanks to all of the people who attended the night!
Not only did the evening present people with wonderful entertainment, delicious food, and fine comany, it gave the Australian Footbike Team the opportunity to interact together in a non-sporting environment, building an even stronger team for Italy.

Footbike,
It looks like a grown up version of my childhood scooter.
Bicycles wear out the crutch in the most expensive suits after 73 hours in the saddle..
Footbikes allow the fabrics to ride with much less abrasion – lasting considerably longer
and being so much more comfortable for the rider..
Even fabrics with the slightest of give, assume the benefits of Lycra on a Footbike with curves being less emphasized..
I am looking forward to see
an officeworker, lawyer, aspiring politician – some othe such suit, or even our most esteemed Lord Lady Mayor, formally astriding down the Saint Georges Terrace – in a series of PROMOTIONAL PHOTOs, of what we are actually able to do to reduce our footprints..
Also, if those who wield the power were to permit the painting of a white line, to the left of each
through driving lane, it would ensure – that when pavements are busy, that Footbike could share the kerbside lane with bicycles, and other vulnerable road users..
