Free Spirit Bike n Car Club
On Wednesday, the 19th July, the Founder of Free Spirit SMCC, Mal Palmer (Chopper), bought the club trailer
in to the July ordinary meeting of Council for an inspection by Councillors. The trailer was the result of a
collaboration between the Council and Free Spirit, its goal to raise awareness about domestic violence and
depression.
The Free Spirit Bike 'n' Car Club is an organisation who regularly donates their time and energy towards charity
programs and events. They say NO to domestic violence, and aim to shine a light on the often difficult topics of
depression and suicide. In the past they were involved with providing aid to those affected by the Yarloop
bushfire, running $30,000 worth of hay and supplies to those who needed it the most. They also assisted the
Log Fence Pony Club by raising money to repair the club's infrastructure, and are regulars in many local
automotive events; spreading their message as widely as they can. In the future the Club plans to assist the
Shire in suicide prevention programs and other community-focused concerns.
If anyone is interested in their cause, or about the club in general, please feel free to contact Chopper. His
mobile phone number is: 0400 724 612.
