Report and photos of the Christmas dinner and prize giving are now on

after Boxing day run", plus the ride out to the Victoria Inn for the
"day after New Years Day run". Advance notice of our AGM on the 13th
January, we need a volunteer to take on writing and emailing the
Section notes, plus two committee members as Geoff H and John F are
both not standing again. Big thanks to Geoff and John for all that they
have done for the Section.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Well
done everyone - last Monday we raised a grand total of £570 for the air
ambulance. Thanks go to Rob and John for running the auction and the
£111 that has been added into the above total, being straight
donations. I had £5 earlier this year, but can't remember who from, so
apologies for that. Other donors, Bob J, Dave W, Tony D, Terry
H,
Roger T(on behalf of Simon Pritchard). Added to that is the fact that
Bob bought one of the Christmas Hampers and it has been
donated
direct to the Air ambulance for them to raise money with. Thanks to
Barry for providing his large jars of pickled onions - he wanted to
prepare them when he was in hospital, but was refused permission by the
medical staff, but he still managed to get them done in time. Thanks
must also go to Mary and John for their hampers, which raised some good
hard cash. Not forgetting all the donated items and those who bought
them - only a Rob, as auctioneer, could have waxed lyrical about some
of the items, just as though he was describing a Velo.

On
my visit to HQ last Thursday I learnt that all the motions on the

exception of the one regarding turning the Library into a trust.

Sad
to say that it looks as if the Bristol Section will not be running the
South West Coast Run in 2020, as they could not find someone to
organise the event. Their section calendar is on our events page, at
the bottom.
28th
October
We're now getting well into the "dinner jacket season", with runs just
about all but curtailed - our next is "The day after Boxing day run".
On the 26th Jean and I were at a lunch in Porthcawl with Howard and
Carol. Afterwards we paid a visit to Brian and Wynne - who send best
wishes to the section members. From Porthcawl we headed to Llandeilo
and the West South Wales Section annual dinner, where our Rob collected
the trophy that he won on the Saundersfoot.

Banbury
date for 2020 is 31st May - moved from the third Sunday in June, as
that is father's day and the idea is to attract younger members who
feel unable to ride Banbury, when they feel that they need to spend
time with their fathers.

I've
just received an email from David Sheppard who tells me that his father
Roger Sheppard has passed away. Roger was the Section Treasurer from
1972 to 1977 when he and his family moved to East Anglia. David now has
his father's Douglas Mk4 and 1951 BSA Bantam.
