Below is the report published in the January 2023 issue of Nacelle, which covered Branch activities in November 2022
So here it is, Merry Christmas!! Everybody’s having fun!!
We had a good turn-out for our annual Branch Quiz evening. Around 35 people competed in teams of four or so to win prizes, wracking our brains to answer a mix of motorcycle and popular culture questions set by Bob, our quiz master. Congratulations to the winners!!
Despite the wet weather, we still managed three ride-outs in November.
Our first ride-out was on a Thursday to the Court Hill Centre near Wantage.
We had a good turnout for our ride on Remembrance Sunday to the Army Flying Museum near Middle Wallop. We left early so that we would arrive at the destination in time for us to observe the minutes silence at 11am.
Our last ride of the month was a Sunday run to Savages garden centre. Despite the name, the café there was a little more genteel than we are used to, with tea in fine china cups and saucers and delicate forks for the cake. But we rose to the occasion. Our ride home was interrupted by the untimely death of a pheasant who clearly hadn’t been following the green cross code.
We’ll be having a bring and buy sale at our Branch night on the 19 January. So if you have some motorcycle related paraphernalia that you no longer need, why not bring it along to sell? Or just come along and browse through what’s on offer? You might just grab a bargain!!
Keep on rolling!
