CSOC NEWS
- The 2012 Supershow is over! The CSOC booth was very well received, with hundreds of people coming by to find out information about sidecars and the club. We signed up several new members at the show, and new memberships have been trickling in ever since - a great result! It wasn't as impressive a booth as usual due to Maggie, our show organizer being unavailable this year - but still we had a great time at the show. Thanks to all of the members who helped out!
- Our Rallies page has been updated with new proposed rides - keep an eye on it over the next couple months as we plan out the 2012 rides and rallies!

Updates from the CSOC Executive
As many of you know, 2011 has been a year of changes for the CSOC. We have had some changes in the Executive, changes in membership, and also changes in the panel who puts together the yearly CSOC booth at the January motorcycle show in Toronto. Because of some of these changes, we're looking to recruit new members who will help carry on the tradition of this club into the future - and that's where you come in. We have always relied on a small group of enthusiasts to help us put on events, be they the yearly "Sidecars in the Park" rally in Trenton, ON - down to a simple day ride and BBQ. (Of which we already have one in the planning stages, to take place near Haliburton, ON this summer.)
As an incentive to attract new members, this year we are offering free memberships. That's right, entirely free. We've always had low membership fees (we aren't out to make a profit after all), but with a small surplus in the bank, we feel it's more important to attract new blood and expand out into towns we've never been in before than to charge at this time. So this is your chance - if you love the three wheeling lifestyle, and want to contribute to a club with a long tradition - join the CSOC today!
You won't get a better chance to Join the CSOC, so send us your information and we'll get you signed up for the very best way to travel - sideways.
