Below is the report published in the July 2025 issue of Nacelle, which covered Branch activities in May 2025
As the dry weather continued into May, our first outdoor event of the season, The Spring Meet, saw well over 100 bikes in attendance. As is with all our meets and show we had a charitable collection and on this occasion it was for Blood Bikes. There were 2 riders from Blood Bikes, with their machines on display, to answer questions about the organisation and a total of £188.68 was raised. With the BCSA bar and Natalie’s Catering purveying sustenance and the fine weather, a great time was had by all who came.
A couple of weekends later was the DGR and several distinguished members of the branch joined up with Bulldog Triumph, who had organised a ride-out to White Waltham, home of the West London Aero Club. Over £1200 was raised here for this motorcycling charity which supports the Movember Foundation. Well done to all who gave and participated.
The same weekend saw 4 branch members (El Zorro, Steelie, Ton-up Ted & Bibendum) depart on a weeks tour of Northern Ireland. Much to their surprise waterproofs were unnecessary in the province and a grand time was had by all riding over 1500 miles during the week.
Looking forward to future branch events, we’ll be holding our annual Barbecue on Thursday 3rd July. So come along for some great food, superb raffle prizes and sparkling conversations. If you come by bike you may well be surprised and be the recipient of the “Steve Butcher Award”, for best branch member’s bike, which will be presented on the evening.
Two weeks later a new event will be held at the BCSA on the 17th July; an evening Autojumble. So come along to club night and bring along those items you wish to move on.
Evening events officially start at 8pm, but the BCSA bar opens at 7pm for those with a thirst…
Ride fast and safe.
