April 2019 Update
It was good to see you all at the this months club night, with 26 members and three guests attending. Not such a good turn out for the pre meeting ride, perhaps the weather forecast put you off! Four of us left the Alma promptly at 7 ,but unfortunately a breakdown meant that only three returned. The fourth was picked up eventually and arrived home about 10pm. And no ,it wasn't due to lack of petrol. Various rides were mentioned for future months, and volunteers for May rides would be welcome as I dont have much spare time in the next few weeks. I will be doing a recce of the NC500 with a view to having a go on a bike next year,if anyone fancies it. Dont forget the VMCC invite to take part in their rides from The Langford Museum of Power on the weekend 12th to 14th of April. Not a section event but you will be made very welcome. The next lunch meeting should be on April 26th but keep an eye out for details. The next club night is May 1st. There will be a ride before the meeting. Gordon
Update 3 March 2019
Just a quick reminder that its club night next Wednesday 3rd April, and that the first pre meeting ride will leave the Alma at 7pm sharp. No petrol stops! Our ride to Pin Mill on the 14th was cancelled because of the wet and windy weather, and we tried again on the 26th and six of us enjoyed a lovely ride in the sunshine, despite road closures and road works. The lunch meet on Mersea was well attended on the 29th, (not such a significant day after all), but the promised bargains were a bit thin on the ground, probably due to the affluence of the locals!

Latest news March 2019
There will be a visit to Burnham Railway Museum on Sunday April 7th, leaving the Alma at 10am. John Walsh is in charge. It is a good day out, and you can go by car! More details at the next clubnight. Gordon
March Update 2019
The Lunch Meeting was our first for March at The Saracens Head, Newton Green and ten of us had a nice lunch and a look at Jim Lomax's very nice AJS.
Good to see you all at the Club Night. So much to talk about! There was some discussion about events in the pipeline, as well as the ride this month on the 14th to Pin Mill. With promises of trips to the Railway Museum to be announced as well as Andrews Field, Mersea Myths / fish and chips, and Littley Green, there should be plenty riding coming up.
I hope to start the pre Club Night rides in April, just a short ride to get the bikes warmed up before the serious stuff. The dates for some future events have been decided and details can be found on the events page. And dont forget the off roaders have been quite active already this year,so contact Steve if you want to join in. And the first Pre 65 scramble at Marks Tey is on March 17th. The next lunch meeting is on Friday 29th March at Waldegraves West Mersea. And the next club night is april 3rd, with the pre meeting ride starting promptly at 7pm, with no petrol stops! See you there Gordon
