As this year sees 100th Anniversary of the start of the First World War, the Royal British Legion are organising  a tribute event at Ross on Wye and we would like to support them on the day.

Meet at the Rope Walk.  Note this event is on a Saturday

This is a two day event and the very brave may want to attend both of them, however as the Sunday clashes with Founders day then it might be that we attend on the Saturday (to be decided)

This event clashes with the Norton festival in Devon, it is suggested that those in the Gloucester area meet at the Oakwood to ride up together

This is a revised date following the heavy rain over the UK on the 10th, see Ian’s notes below

So come on any bike, bring your mates, its not a race, but a social run into South Herefordshire, via a scenic route. You can be home for your Sunday lunch, or continue onto the Abergavenny bike meet, or the Tewkesbury Classic vehicle show, as shown in our events schedule.  The options are endless!

Once again the only thing that will stop the event is the weather, if its raining heavy we will not be going.

So keep an eye on the forecasts for this Sunday.

Keep dry and ride safe, C U Sunday?:

Meet at the Oakwood for a 9.30 AM start to arrive at 10.00am at Tewkesbury School

As Part of our monthly branch meeting we will be holding our annual AGM, an event not to be missed as members compete to get positions off the committee – a very entertaining evening

We have had the following invitation from the WAC Motorcycle Club 

Having met up with some of your members at the Prescott Bike Festival and again at the Malvern Classic Bike Show, there seemed to be a feeling that a local Club get together would be a good idea. So we at WAC are happy to have the first (of many I hope) held at our premises.    This invite will be going out to the Norton Owners Club, Worcester branch of the VMCC, Malvern bike club and the Leominster Classic club.    I think it will just be a good chance for our Clubs to meet up for some chat and a cuppa. And looking forward, maybe an annual event either one Club per year or a visit to each of the Clubs every year.   I apologise for the relatively short notice but we are all busy and active Clubs and I thought to get this in before our ‘Biking Season’ starts up in earnest. It is inevitable that some folks won’t be able to make this date, for which I’m sorry, but I would like to extend an offer for any of your Club’s members to come and visit us whenever they would like.   Motorcycling seems to becoming a more minority activity than it ever was and if by maintaining some small contact between our Clubs we can help us all keep active ,with a healthy membership, then I feel that can only be good for motorcycling in our area.     I hoping that this will all be just an informal meet up so there’s no need to book ,but general numbers would be a bonus for the catering. Please feel free to email me if you have any queries and if you would like a poster or some flyers for your Club house/meet up,       Yours Dawn Thomas Chair WAC Motorcycle Club

NOC Club Stand will be at this event manned by Glos. Branch members

We have been invited to visit the Malvern Motorcycle & Light Car Club to display our bikes and have a friendly day out with like minded souls.  You can either travel as part of a group starting from the Oakwood at 10.00pm or directly from your home if this is more direct
