Below is the report published in the April 2026 issue of Nacelle, which covered Branch activities in February 2026

Our AGM took place on the 12th February, at the BCSA, where the old committee resigned and were replaced by the new, however most of the old committee remained in post with the exception of Graham “Mr Wobbly” King as Vice-Chair and Graham “Steelie” Steele as Runs Co-ordinator.  For full details of the new committee please refer to the Branch website.

This coming season’s branch outdoor events were discussed along with the charities that we would support at said events.  Proposals were agreed by a majority show of hands.  The first of which, our Spring Meet, will take place on Saturday 25th April.  Donations will be taken for TV Air Ambulance on this occasion.  Normal facilities will be available at the BCSA, bar and kitchen, so why not come along with your pride and joy, friends and family, as all bikes are welcomed.  Keep fingers crossed for a fine day.

Earlier in April on Good Friday, the Reading Egg Run will be held.  If you’re interested in joining in the fun, check out the runs WhatsApp group for details of a branch meet.

Finally some advice for anyone intending on attending the AGM on Sunday 19th April.  Our Chair, Nick, is keen to attend, so if you fancy going along and fancy some company, why not contact him?

Ride fast and safe

Ride to Honey Street – Mar 26

Parking up our bikes outside Honey Street Mill Cafe

We had some fine weather for a change, so 8 of us set off on a ride to Honey Street Mill Cafe, near Pewsey, about half way between Swindon and Stonehenge on the North Wessex Downs. We chose a new meet point for the ride behind a bus stop in Thatcham. We had an interesting route from there through some twisting roads. There are some photos of us at the start point and at Honey Street.

Ride to the Flying Scotsman – Mar 26

The Flying Scotsman parked at Ropley

The riding season has really begun in earnest. After weeks of cold and rain, suddenly the sun was out and the temperature was up to to 20c, just as the Flying Scotsman was temporarily stationed at Ropley , a mere 30 miles away. So we had to ride to it. Fourteen members turned out for the ride to Ropley, saw the Flying Scotsman, had some refreshments at station and then rode onto a country pub for another break before splitting for home. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon. Here are some photos of the event.
