News and Programme of The Section
(update
as of 25th April)
Important Update : There will be a
section run on Sunday 27th April for the Federation of Historic
Vehicles “Drive It Day” (weather permitting) and will start from the usual
meeting place at Crown Corner at 10.30am. Our next mid-week lunch meet will be
on Wednesday 7th May at Stapleford Airfield clubhouse and the next
club night at The Woodman will be on the following evening Thursday 8th
May because unusually it turns out for this month that the second Thursday of
the month actually comes the day after the first Wednesday.
The second
of our section mid week runs on Wednesday 16th April went off
without any hitches this time and Roy, Geoff Gibbins,
Dave Walling and myself left Crown Corner in good weather with Roy leading the
way on his chosen route to Bretts café at White
Roding, which was not really the café he thought it was going to be as he had
thought the name referred to another café nearby which turned out to be closed
in any case. Anyway, we had a good lunch at Bretts
and as the Fyfield road was closed for road works I
led the group back via Hatfield Heath, Matching Green and Moreton.
A good run out with decent weather.
Roy, Geoff
Gibbins, Steve Carvosso and
Dave Walling had a good run to the classic motorcycle show and autojumble at Ardingly on Sunday
31st April, once Steve’s tyre pressures
had been “adjusted” to the correct levels that is. Roy reported that his bike,
the one which he intends to use for the International, was running quite well
after being rather unhappy with its performance on the previous section run. It
seems to be improving with increasing mileage and he is now thinking that it
will be fine for the International on the Isle of Skye.
Any information on forthcoming section
activities will be always given on this page of our section web site as the
frequent changes that occur and the lead times for the “Jampot”
section notes does not allow for them to be used for this purpose. So check this page regularly.
It gets updated after any new information becomes available and usually as soon
as possible after each club night .
