1969 - COLLIE CYCLE CLUB
The Collie Cycle Club has been around since about the 1930's. In the mid 1960's the club had again lost members and lapsed.
In 1969 a local rider in Colin Rossiter, who was a state and national champion started up the club again, The first events were staged at the old abandoned Go Kart track.

John McDermott recalls: back in about 1966, as a young fella growing up in Collie, myself and Colin Rees along with a few others would sneak out to the Go Kart track and race our 125 Road Race bikes around the bitumen circuit. We had to do it without anyone knowing as we had not got permission to do so.
