Club Night – February 2019

At this month’s meeting we welcomed three new visitors, Dave Moss, Allan Roberts and Phil Webster. We were also happy to welcome back Andy Royal who since visiting us last month has now become a full member of the club and sourced himself a bike. I think it’s a Honda CBR 450 so if anyone has any advice, I’m sure Andy would welcome it.

Stephen made announcements regarding upcoming runs Mikes Spring Run and Wistanstow Bike Show, details on our calendar page and also on the VMCC website.

In addition, if anyone is thinking of going to the training Day in May he has an offer of a seat in the car – contact Stephen. Similarly, Alex Loader has the same offer for the September event.

Also being arranged is a visit to Motrac Racing, near Ellesmere Port, who build and repair racing bikes. More details to follow.

A big thank-you to Derek Thom for all the preparation he put into the Bring and Buy Action and for his hard work on the night, keeping us all amused and also spending our cash. We managed to raise £294 in contributions towards Section funds. Hopefully we can use it to equip the new club night location with good IT facilities for presentations.

And finally, just a quick reminder that next month’s club night, 21st March, is a talk by Bernard Dennis on the 3^rd Duke of Bridgewater – “The Canal Duke”. If anyone has any contact for other speakers they may know who would be able to give us any interesting talks please let someone on the committee know and we can look into making arrangements.

Club Night – February 2019

February’s ClubNight (21^st February at the Cock@Budworth) will feature our

Annual Bring ‘n Buy Auction

run by Derek Thom as usual. This year’s event promises to be the best ever – we’re advertising it far and wide and Derek will be in fine voice as usual, and dressed for his part as The Greatest Showman!

Auction Flyer

The flyer has some details for your perusal – please share this with any friends/relatives/enemies etc as appropriate – who knows, they may have something to bring or want to buy…

The main reason for the advance warning is to give you chance to

clear out your bike shed and have a good supply of Stuff To Sell!

Remember: that Treble Thrunge-pin you have gathering dust under the bench may be the very thing someone needs to complete their winter project. Conversely, that Sprocket-wobbler you’ve been looking for all year may turn up at the Bring ‘n Buy at a special knock-down price.

(Derek tells me you have to buy now before he puts the price up after Brexit!).

More details on the flyer; please act now to make this event a success!
