Announcements about Branch activities
Happy New Year to all our members. Looking back over the last year, we went on a lot of rides in 2021, held our Old Bike Gathering in July and a bike meet in October. We’re starting 2022 as we mean to go on. We had our first ride-out on News Years day and have lots more planned. Check out the events here.
On the Thursday 16 December we will be having a Christmas special evening at our club night starting at 8pm at the BCSA. Its open to all Branch members and their partners and there will be a free buffet of festive food, Christmas music and a raffle. The bar will be open as usual. So come along and enjoy a yuletide evening with fellow Branch members.
Our Lunchtime Bike Meet on 9th October 2021 hosted around 70 bikes and was a very enjoyable day out for all who attended. It also raised £200 for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance, who provide a vital life saving service.
Thames Valley Air Ambulance sent us a certificate of thanks. We would like to pass on their thanks to everyone who came on the day and made a donation to this great cause.

This event is open to all members and their partners so there will be no need for anyone to cook at home that night!
Service will start at 7:00pm. Don’t arrive earlier, the club will nor be open.
Our annual quiz for 2021 was held on 11 November 2021 at our regular club night at the BCSA. Multiple teams of three or four competed for a range of prizes and the honour of being this year’s winners. Questions as normal were set by Uncle Bob and tested our knowledge of motorcycle related facts with some other popular culture questions. We had a half time intermission to replenish our glasses before wracking our brains for the final session. Congratulations to the team of four visitors from the Vintage Motor Cycle Club (VMCC) who won. See some photos from the event below.
We’ll be holding our annual quiz night at our Thursday Club Night on 11th November 2021.
Once again, quiz master, Bob Cromwell will be testing our knowledge with questions on motorcycle related topics and general knowledge. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the evening for the winning team.
You don’t have to form a team in advance, just come along. Teams get formed on the night, typically around three or four people each. You can also participate as an individual if you want. It’s a great way to get to know other people and have a fun evening.
Proceedings will kick off around 8.30pm.
A great opportunity to meet other Branch members, see their bikes and have lunch and a drink together as we get close to the end of the riding season. All motorcycles and riders welcome.
