Below is the report published in the November 2024 issue of Nacelle, which covered Branch activities in September 2024
With the arrival of September along came the wet stuff, then it rained and when you thought “surely it can’t continue to rain”, it turned to near monsoon conditions with thunder and lightning and the associated flooding. However, throughout the month we still managed 5 Sunday ride-outs to Avebury, Popham, Petersfield, Bucklebury and Wycombe. Further, a couple of mid-week trips, one being to Sammy Millers Museum. Our runs coordinator, Collin, is a bit crook at the moment, so if there is anyone who would like to lead a ride-out please get in touch with Collin and I’m sure he’d help you to arrange.
So it was with trepidation that we approached the weekend of our Autumn Meet at the BCSA on the last Saturday of September, dreading what the weather might be. But when the day arrived it was clear blue skies, dry(ish) roads and a warming sun; how the righteous are blessed.
We approximated that over 80 bikes visited with a dozen different manufacturers represented. The BCSA clubhouse was serving drinks and Natalie’s Catering hot food. This, apart from on-going Sunday ride-outs, was our last outdoor event of the season and our attention is now looking at Thursday evenings at the BCSA. The first event being Bob’s Annual Quiz, to be held on 7th November and followed by the Christmas Buffet on 19th December. In the new year we plan a Table-Top Swap meet, the date of which is yet to be arranged.
