A good turnout for the February club night, and a chance to present the Allan Jones Trophy to Julian Smith for his outstanding season in the pre 1965 scramble series. This year, Steve Toy is going to have a go so there is a lot of section interest so do try and get along to some of the local events. Vic was reunited with the Photographic award, now sporting his name for 2016.
The weather forecasts have disrupted the planned ride to the Victoria, and I'm afraid the planned ride on the 10th has had to be called off, as I'm not keen on riding in snow. There was some mirth as I described my breakdown at the Alma, having turned up just in case anyone had missed the cancellation. The lad from the RAC did a good job getting it going. And I must thank Dereck for his hospitality while I waited.
There was some discussion about a planned trip to Duxford, and it has been postponed while Kevin and I investigate getting free entry at an event later in the year.
I payed a visit to Phil and I am pleased to report he is on the mend and was talking about riding again soon. His project BMW is coming along nicely.
George has finally seen the light and bought a nice 650 BSA, so I don't feel quite so left out.
I hope to see you at the next lunch meeting which is at The Saracens Newton Green on the 25th. Next club night is March 1st . Gordon
