VE Day Staverton Airport 8th May

Following the Bluebell Run we hastily arranged a display at the Aviator, leaning heavily on our WD Riders to be a feature. Despite being short notice, Dave and Virginia turned up in full military kit. My own efforts to bring our 1939 ES2 was abandoned after making odd noise`s and it was AWOL  we turned up late in the car so was late on parade.

Colin & Marlene were together on the Commando so well done to them, Malcolm and Mike were supporting us as well.

Bluebell & Ba Ba Run 6/5/25

The Gloucester & Bristol Branches

 

Both N.O.C branches met at Norchard for the run through the Bluebell Woods. It was very well attended, we had the weather as in the previous years event.

The run however was an issue for the leader of the pack, which was me! with a slipping clutch. But after a quick stop to adjust the cable we made our way via the Roman road which winds its way through the Bluebell woods. This actual section was not how the Roman’s left it, being much worse.

I have taken an image of the Bluebells in Jill’s garden as we never quite get the dates right for our annual ride through the bloom.

We did enjoy the meal together at the Silver Fox once again. I also got home ok, but the clutch plates were shot.

Thanks Everybody,

Chris & Jill
