Nacelle Report – Feb 26

Below is the report published in the February 2026 issue of Nacelle, which covered Branch activities in December 2025

Well, I hope everyone is settled into 2026 and haven’t broken any resolutions made (rashly in some cases, like my own) on NYE!

December 7th saw a cool, damp, Reading Toy Run.  This was well attended by branch members who were either marshalling or joining in the fun on the run itself.  Well done to all who made the effort to make a difference to under-privileged children across the region.

On the final club night of 2025, at the BCSA, we held our annual festive Christmas buffet.  An event gratis to branch members + 1.  Quite simple cuisine was served by BCSA’s new caterers and feedback from those in attendance would be appreciated.  Just make your comments (sensible please!) known to any committee member.  These will be reviewed at the next committee meeting to seek improvements for this year’s event.  Whatever your thoughts, there was the usual raffle with great prizes, were you lucky enough to win one?

Just because the weather can be rather inclement, Sunday ride-outs continue, so if you need to blow some cobwebs out of either you or your bike why not join in the fun…

Get your diaries ready to note the date of the Branch AGM on 12th February.  Please consider joining the committee, we’re short of members and some are currently covering more than one role.  It’s your branch so why not join the committee where you can influence its future.

Ride fast and safe.
