Nacelle Report – April 2022

Below is the report published in the April 2022 issue of Nacelle, which covered Branch activities in February 2022

The times they are a’changin’! We had our Branch AGM in February and elected three new people to our committee. Congratulations to: Bob Cromwell, our new Chairman; Steve Yarwood, Vice Chairman and Graham King, Events Coordinator. The existing committee were all re-elected with some role changes. See the Branch website for more details.

Pausing near the end of a Sunday ride out

While the January cold failed to stop us riding, the February storms got the better of us. Two Sunday ride-outs were cancelled at short notice due to rain or high winds. Determined to get a ride, a small group set off for Popham Airfield one Sunday and got drenched to the bone, testing the limits of their wet weather riding gear. Finally, for the last Sunday of February, we had a clear, sunny day. Nine members turned out for a ride through the country lanes of Hampshire, ending up at the Flower Pots Inn at Cheriton, where it was mild enough for us to sit outside at picnic table for drinks and brunch.

We are looking forward to hosting the National Club AGM on 10 April. For those that want to come for the whole weekend, there is a Bike Meet on Saturday 9 April and beer, food and skittles on Saturday evening. You can camp overnight onsite for free (please contact the Berkshire Branch if you plan to camp). Then you’ll be ready for the AGM on the Sunday. Check out the Branch website for more details. We’ll see you there.

Keep on rolling!
