I have the ones for the last month but any prior to that have been deleted at source. I have no idea how long this has been on so if you have tried to contact The Club, please re send your emails. The filter has now been turned off and fingers crossed I will recieve the messages.

November News LetterNovember News letter
OK Folks, winter is starting to take a grip. For some riding is over until next spring. For the more hardy of you, there will always be opportunities to get out and about on two wheels.
I intend to try and organise at least one ride out a month over the winter period. This will probably involve a Sunday morning ride to a pub for some lunch. So those of you with families, there’s no excuse, get them to meet us at the pub.
The weather will always be the deciding factor so I will announce a Ride Out by Email the weekend before and weather permitting, we’ll be out and about the following Sunday. A final decision will be made on the Saturday Night prior to the Ride Out and will be circulated by email.
When I announce a Ride Out I would appreciate an indication from you whether you are interested or not. This serves two purposes. The first gauges the response to let me know in advance if it is worth persevering on that Ride Out and the second so that I can ring the appropriate pub to confirm they can / will accommodate us.
If you know of any suitable pubs you would like to go to then let me know. I am also open to suggestions as to other activities with which we can keep ourselves amused over the coming months. It doesn’t have to involve the bike and if there is sufficient interest we’ll give it a go.
A date for your diaries is Boxing Day and the annual gathering at Wickham Square. If you haven’t been before it is a meeting of Classic &Vintage cars, bikes, steam engines, custom cars, military vehicles and motorcycles in general. The square gets packed and it is advisable to get there by 1000am to ensure easy parking. We will meet as The Club outside of the Kings Head in the Square at 1030. So if you are fuzzy headed from the day before, stuffed to the gunnels so that you can hardly move and want to get a bit of fresh air either with or without the family then come along.
I was intending to organise a Toy Run this year but have run out of time. If anyone would like to take this on at short notice let me know. We have over £70.00 raised for charity in the kitty so far which could be used if necessary.
In the same vein, if anyone would like to organise an Easter egg run or suggest an existing one locally that we could join then let me know.
Although Winter is about to set in, at least Spring is edging closer and looking to next year, I would like to get us involved in more Ride Outs and perhaps the odd weekend or two away. The French Alps Tour in June 2008 is up and running and 10 of us have already booked. If anyone else is interested let me know and I will check availability. The majority of the costs are not payable until you travel and it is excellent value for money.
If anyone has any suggestions for weekends away, again let me know.
There are over 150 of us on paper and the number grows each week. Can I remind you that this is your club. If you want to do something, speak up and we’ll do it. It would be nice to get a few of you more involved in the running of things so if you are interested let me know.
Likewise, if you have any sensible suggestions as to how The Club should or could be run, then speak up. I have a limited repertoire and it will become boring if you just leave it to me.
Watch those roads and keep it rubber side down. Safe riding,
Ali |
