attended last nights meeting when orders were taken for the Fish &
Chip run in two weeks time on the 9th August. If any more wish to order
F&C then please email us quickly. The start of the F&C run will
be from the 'old' cafe on Cowbridge Common and the run will be led by
Bob J, to end up back at the club where the food will be.
Recently,
the July Section Bulletin from HQ has arrived. What a shame that
some of the links do not work properly and that the new
"comprehensive membership brochure" cannot be found. There seems to be
rather a lot of 'consultations', some easily found, other hidden away.
It is concerning as to what these 'consultations' will be used for. One
in particular asks for opinion on how good the Area Reps and the
President are at communicating. I wonder as to just what use that
information will be put to. Have a read here.
13th July
Rob J's adventures in Scarborough along with a few photos are now on the Reports Page.
Next
meeting on Monday evening the 26th will see us collecting names for the
following Fish and Chip run on the 9th August. The run will be led by
Bob J and will start at 7pm from the old cafe on Cowbridge common.

Some photos and notes on the Follow the Velo run are now on the Reports page in the
Lounge.

We
had 8 members turn up at last nights ride-out - next event is the
"Follow the Velo run" on the 11th followed by a club noggin and Natter
evening the following day. It has been decided to cancel the "Roof Top
of Wales" run on the 18th, mainly due to the organising of the food etc.
We've
been informed that the Worcester section are organising a run to the
Baffle Haus Cafe on the A4042, arriving there around 1pm. So, if you
fancy a ride it's happening on the 15th July.
29th
June
Our
next event is tomorrow evening and is a ride out to meet at the 'Y
Maerun' pub in Marshfield - get there from 6.30pm onwards. The pub
kitchen is open for food and you can eat inside or outside. Then on
Sunday the 11th, we have the 'Follow the Velo run' - Rob has everything
in place and there will be a light refreshment stop on route. Start,
10.30am as usual, from the Caerphilly Mountain Cafe. Next club night on
the 12th is a noggin and natter.

Geoff
H reports that the Steel Horse pub has now permanently closed, whilst a
new motorcycle friendly cafe, called the Baffle Haus, has opened on the
A4042, Abergavenny to
Pontypool road about 2 miles south of Llanover. They serve some
excellent food.

Last
nights bring a bike night saw some 8 bikes turn out - less than a third
of our usual number, but still good to see. Report and some photos on
the reports page
in the Lounge.
31st
May
The
meeting tonight saw an attendance of 8 members and we discussed our
future events. Due to the fact that things are pretty fluid regarding
the lockdown and the possible covid re-surgence we thought it best to
not look too far ahead atthis point in time. So - the next event will
be on Monday 14th and it is "BRING A BIKE NIGHT", Howard and Carol will
be running it and we hope for a really good turn out please. Come back
to this page for the next event announcement.
15th
May
We
are now able to commence our Monday evening meetings and the next
suitable one, according to our calendar is on the 31st May.
However, we are going to hold an additional meeting on Monday 24th May.
Please make an effort to attend on the 31st and, if you can, the 24th,
as we need to decide on the calendar of meetings and runs for the rest
of the year. Start 07.30pm, as usual and don't forget to bring a mask
with you and also to observe social distancing as much as possible.

Apologies for being inactive for the past few weeks, all down to me
struggling with aging eyesight, which is now getting sorted.
The
Relay rally is not to be run this year and as a replacement a "Way
Point Rally" has been formulated. Details can be found in this download.
At
this point in time we are awaiting news of the Llanharry club
re-opening so that we can continue with our Monday meetings. An
announcement will be made here as soon as possible. The first meeting
will, no doubt, include the forming up of a riding calendar for the
rest of 2021, so please make an effort to attend.
Interestingly the VMCC is setting up a members only insurance scheme -
due to start in August.

The
MC have issued a paper as a response to the recent consultation and it
looks as if many issues have been listened to. I must say that the
paper is most encouraging and, hopefully, the way forward. If you'd
like a copy just email me
and I'll forward one.
If
you used to enjoy the Dragon Tour, check out the advert in the March
journal for 'Val's weekend'. The event is based in Llandrindod Wells
and with any luck, Jean and I shall be going. Two nights in a hotel -
ring me if you want some details. Camping has been arranged at Disserth
camping and caravan park. New CMB magazine on the above button.

Some new rules for number plates are to be introduced. Up until now, if
you had a vehicle registered with a taxation class of Historic, you
could use black and white number plates. That situation is changing and
only Historic Class vehicle first registered prior to 1980 have the
right to use black and white number plates. So, if your Historic class
vehicle was first registered after the 1st Jan 1980 - you must use the
yellow /white plates.
