January 2026

The Section held our usual End of Year Dinner, arranged for us once more by Dave Walling, at The Plough, Bulphan on Saturday 6^th December. Our numbers attending were down on previous years this time, mostly due to medical reasons, which I suppose is only to be expected as we all get older. However the rest of us sat down to a pleasant meal and social evening.

During the evening we had the presentation of our two annual section awards, the section Clubman of the Year award for the section member having done the most to help the section during the year and the Piston Broke award for the person suffering probably the most bike related misfortune during the year, an award which none of us really wants to win and which I have now unfortunately won twice in the past. The Clubman of The Year award went to Roy Bellett, which surprised him somewhat as it was not what he was expecting. However it is difficult to arrange an award for someone who is involved in actually choosing the recipient without a bit of subterfuge and the award was well deserved. The Piston Broke award went to Graham Eaton for the trials and tribulations with his Matchless G15CSR over the year. Unfortunately Graham wasn’t available to receive it himself as he was ill and couldn’t attend, so it was accepted on his behalf by his partner Claire.

Subsequent to the dinner we had only two section events left in 2025, our last club night on 11^th December and our proposed section run on 28^th, both of which will have taken place by the time you get to read this. So it really just remains for me to wish you all season’s greetings and all the best for 2026, when of course we hope that all of our runs will have excellent weather. Happy New Year.
