Sunday ride out to Honey Street Mill Cafe. The cafe had an amazing range of cakes. It was cold and damp on the ride out, but warmer and dryer roads on the way home, allowing a brisk, fun ride back. Here are some photos:
Here is a video of the ride:
We had a good time at our annual quiz night in November. Bob Cromwell once again served up a set of brain-teasing questions and there were some good prizes to be won.
Congratulations to the winning team.
There was initially a tie for second place, but Bob was prepared with some tie break questions which resulted in a clear second and third place.
Congratulations to the winners.

We had another Saturday ride to Rawles Motorsport Open Day, an event that we have been to a number of other times. Rawles is a restorer of Austin Healey’s and there Open Days are always interesting, with displays of some of their immaculate restorations as well as seeing around their workshops and the processes they go through in restoring cars. The event also raises money for the Naomi House Charity.
This year, Collin filmed the ride there with an 0n-board camera, which you can watch below.
No-one on the ride took photographs at the destination this time, but you can click here to see photos last year’s ride to Rawles.
In this video, three Berkshire Branch members talk about their bikes, what is special about them and why they like them so much.

We had a cracking time at the Swallowfield Show, which is probably one of the biggest and oldest country shows you are likely to find. It’s been going since 1885 and it’s huge. The classic vehicle display alone had about 250 vehicles in it. We had a stand there for the whole two days and rode a selection of our bikes in the main arena. Here are some photos and a video of the event.

We had a new runs leader, with James leading us on a scenic route through the country side and up to the car park and viewing point on Whitehorse Hill near Uffington. After stopping to admire the view and take a few photographs, James led us off again to The Bell Inn at Aldworth for refreshments. Here are some photos of the day.

We had a stand at the British Superbike (BSB) round at Thruxton Circuit in August 2025. We were there for the whole weekend, setting up on Thursday and staying through to Sunday night. We were part of the display of bikes set up by Thruxton in the skid pan area along with other bike clubs and people with bikes of interest. We had six to ten bikes on display each day and there was a lot of interest from the large numbers of people wandering through the display area over the weekend. We had a fun weekend and got to see some of the racing and the live bands on Friday and Saturday nights. Here are some photos of the weekend.
