Today's Second Sydney Body Art Ride (SBAR) - a success say local Greens


home

The Second Sydney Body Art Ride (SBAR) was successfully held last Sunday.

Randwick City Greens Deputy Mayor Murray Matson caught up with the body painted bike riders when they finished at South Maroubra Beach.

He commented on Sunday,

It was good to see that more than 200 Sydney siders are still prepared to have a good laugh while making a spectacle of themselves to raise money to fight childhood cancer. I salute them.

The Randwick green Councillors voted through support for the inaugural ride last year against strong opposition from Labor Councillors. The Greens faced less opposition from Labor for this year's ride,

Cr Matson commended,

The Greens pretty much had the support of all Councillors for the second ride. In fact, Labor Councillors Michael Daley and Dominic Sullivan moved the final resolution to support it.
