Latest News and Programme of
The Section
(update as of 13th July)
Leaving the midweek meet at Stapleford Airfield on July 1st
Important Update There
will be a section run on Wednesday 15th July from Crown Corner as
usual. There will also be an extra run on Wednesday 22nd July with
the Kent section, starting as usual at Crown Corner 10.30am and the next club
night will be on Thursday 23rd July. The next Mid week meet is
scheduled for 5th August and will be at Rosey Leas, North Weald
airfield. Dave Walling needs to hear from all those intending to go to the end
of season dinner as to which of the three dates they prefer (Dec 5th,
12th or 19th) so that he can decide which is the most
popular and book the venue.
We held our scheduled section run on
June 17th starting as usual from Crown Corner. The day started with
a bit of drizzle but soon turned into a fine day. Roy let his satnav choose a
suitable scenic route to Ashwells country and polo club at Great Canfield and
he led Lin B, Geoff G, Dave W, Reg G, Graham E and myself on a pleasant run to
the venue and lunch. The weather was fine enough for us to sit outside in the
sunshine this time and the only hiccup was that Dave and Lins meals arrived
quite a time after the rest of us were chomping through ours. Lin had to leave
early as she had a grandchild commitment to keep and Graham and Reg left us
there as well as they live closer to there than from the direction we were
going in. The remaining four of us then came back by the usual direct route
through Fyfield and Ongar. Another good run and happily with no bike problems
at all.
Six attended the midweek meet at
Stapleford airfield on 1st July, with Roy, Steve, Geoff and Lin
arriving on bikes. Lin mentioned that the annual Battlesbridge event was on the
coming weekend and it was suggested that there was enough support there could
be a run to it. Roy put out an email to the usual run attendees to gauge support
but if you didnt get the email and wish to take part then contact Roy and let
him know. This also applies to the extra run on 22nd July.
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.
