Despite the absence of several regulars, the September club night was well attended with 20 members and one guest. Phil led seven bikes out on the pre-meeting run on his recently acquired Honda Deauville, and a further five bikes turned up for the meeting - another good turnout. We welcomed a new member, Ray Miles and his 650 AJS. Colin brought us all up to date with the august events.
Julian's ride into the Dengie Peninsula was well attended with nine members and two guests enjoying a ride into unknown territory. It did highlight the need to prime everyone for the ride home as Vic and his guest went back to Harwich via Mersea!
Steve Toy paid Russel a visit, and later in the week five members went along to see him as well. George got the bike running again, and Paul gave it a bit of a run as well. Joan looked after them all as usual and anyone wanting to visit in September would be welcome, but do consult Colin first.
Three of our members attended the Jampot rally, Vik, John W, and Steve. I understand they enjoyed themselves, probably a bit too much, getting thrown out of the quiz at one point! Sounds like a good weekend.
Despite the absence of several regulars, myself included, a dozen turned up for the lunch meeting at the Waggon and Horses, Great Yeldham, and I gather it was a good enough to get on next years list. Don't forget everyone is welcome.
Julian and five others attended the Moped Speedway event on the second of September, and enjoyed the racing and later several members attended the Hadleigh clubs fund raising BBQ at Christine and Christians house. This event is now an annual event to cover the cost of the clubs insurance, and Christian thanked members for supporting them at our September club night.
Events for September were discussed at the club night and John Walsh is trying to organise a ride to meet up with the East London section one evening, yet to be decided. The Ladies lunch will be on the 30th September at the Bell Inn Castle Hedingham. Keep an eye on the events page and your e mails for the details of Johns ride. I hope to see some of you on that and at the lunch meeting.
