Once again, the North Essex section has had to move its monthly meeting place. It is now the Bricklayers Arms Colchester. This was due to the unforeseen demise of our previous venue and not for rowdy behavior.

Our planned evening ride out for 17 September for fish and chips had already taken Plaice? So instead 7 members rode out in good weather to make a return visit to Andrew Cunningham and his collection of bikes. Andrew was the Knight in shining amour who came our rescue at a roadside breakdown a few months ago when Collin's battery decided to cook itself for no particular reason. The purpose of the visit was not just to say thank you but also to give Alan Jones Scorpion a taste of Suffolk fresh air. John Swann did an excellent job in leading us there and after the visit we all repaired to the Huntingfield Arms just a couple of miles down the road from Andrews for a well earned lunch.

Finally Saturday 26 September saw 10 wives and members sit down for an enjoyable lunch at the White Horse in Sible Hedingham.
