Christmas is well and truly upon us now. I hope everyone is getting into the Christmas sprint and looking forward to the big day on the 25th. As is traditional (well it’s a new tradition) for the club we don’t have a Club night in December as the Pub needs the room for Parties so instead, we meet at the Marks Tey Diner for breakfast.
We moved it by a week (we settled on the 13th December) so as not to clash with the Kempton park Autojumble, which I must say was one of the biggest and best I’ve seen for a long time – long may it continue. Being an optimist and the predicted weather forecast for the Saturday I was hoping to muster up the Club for a pre breakfast rideout. Unfortunately, Friday night it rained and the roads became even more greasy than they already were, so it was cancelled to save any confusion and any Christmas impacting events.
The meeting was an informal event, so no speeches or club business to discuss – sparing the other members of the public who were having breakfast from hearing my voice. A good number attended 15 in total, with 3 brave souls coming on 2 wheels. Reg Green and his son and Vic Sayers popped in on his way to Manningtree – brave indeed. Some even wore Christmas attire to make the event festive.
The next event for the club is the annual Christmas and Awards Dinner that we always hold in January, this year – or should that be next – is on the 7th January. It’s quite a big affair with 41 people attending, so the pressure is on Me, Caroline and Kim as organiser to ensure it is a successful evening.
Merry Christmas all, and let’s all look forward to the New Year and more 2 wheeled action.
