I have just got off the phone from Bill Sutcliffe. It has been decided that the race will not be on this year. There weren’t enough local people at the AGM who were willing to put their hands up to form a Committee. The people present though are going to lobby the Colac Otway shire to put more money into the infrastructure at the Square. (This could change things in the long term. But they have been trying to get the council to do their bit for a few years).
It’s been a GREAT journey and everyone will remember their involvement with Colac and the race with fondness. Im glad I was able to help them over the past five years. I think I saw the end of the race though at the end of the 2005 race when the majority of the Colac locals weren’t interested in the history being created in their town.
I am sure that within the next two/three years there will be another 6 race in Australia.
Regards
Phil
PS - There will be a media release coming out from Bill Sutcliffe. I will post that when it arrives.
PPS - I apoligise to anyone that might think I have been a pain in the but with the Colac publicity the last few months, but when you have believed in something.
