Below is the report published in the December 2022 issue of Nacelle, which covered Branch activities in October 2022
Great Balls of Fire!!!! We had a cracking turnout for our curry night for members and partners, held at our usual Thursday meeting venue. Around forty people came and we had an enjoyable evening eating curry together.
Despite the wet weather, we managed five rides in October. Our first was a Saturday ride to an open day at a classic car restorer. It was interesting to go around their workshops and see cars in various stages of restoration. The following day, we had a ride out to the Departure Lounge Café near Alton.
Our third ride was an amazing chase, though Hamble bound, it turned out not to be; as some got lost, but then were found, and some rode to the sea!! Rain stopped play again the next weekend, but we fitted in a mid-week ride to Goodwood Motor Circuit, had lunch in the café there and amused ourselves watching some drivers on a track-day. We were fed up with cancelling rides because of bad weather, so for the last Sunday of the month, we just ignored the dodgy weather forecasts and went for a ride anyway. Eight riders set out for Thruxton. We did have some good riding on dry roads, but we also had some very heavy rain and got completely soaked!! Just think positive and remember the good bits!!
We’ll be having a Special Christmas Evening for members and partners on Thursday 15th December, so save the date and come along!!
Keep on rolling!
