Latest News and Programme of The Section

(update as of 9^th January)

Refreshments at Rosey Lea’s on North Weald Airfield during the section run of 28^th December

Important Update : Those intending to go on the run to the Ace Café event on 18^th January should note that it will start at 10.00am prompt from Crown Corner as they will be meeting others at a set time along the way. The next club night at the Woodman will be on Thursday 22nd January.

On Sunday 28^th December the weather was cold but dry when Roy led Geoff G, Steve C, Dave W and myself on a run through the lanes to our lunchtime stop at Rosey Lea’s café on North Weald Airfield where we met up with Reg (Harlow) Green and his son who had driven there by car. After a warming lunch break the run continued back to where riders peeled off at suitable points to make their own way back to their homes. As the weather since then has taken quite a downturn it seems that in this case we had chosen probably the best day for our run and it was good to get out on a bike for a run after Christmas before it turned really cold.

At our first club night of the year on 8^th January the weather was certainly different as it was teeming with rain and the roads awash on the way there while much of the country was awaiting anxiously to find out just how bad the approaching storm was going to be for them and the following morning’s news showed just how lucky we had been in this part of the country with just heavy rain compared with many other places that had been hit really hard. Despite the rain and roads ten of us attended and there was much discussion of who was going to be attending the various events and rallies of the year, starting with the Ace café meeting and extending to the International, the Sussex camping weekend, the West Kent Run and Jampot rally. With the weather as it is at present no section run has yet been scheduled but when it improves we hope to start having one or two runs earlier in this year than we usually do.

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 .
