26th January
Our
AGM last Monday was completed successfully. Many thanks go to John
Fisher and Geoff Harris, who have both been active committee members
and have now left the committee. Whilst a big welcome to Mike Eytner
and Andy Whitely who have joined. Bob J as Chairman, Bryn T as Vice
Chair, Howard J as Secretary and Bill P as treasurer. Bob is to
continue as the section scribe and needs some photos please that he can
include with his reports. Andy has volunteered to take on the
organising of the Fish & Chip run and the Vale of Glamorgan road
event.
There is a new bike for sale in the bar - and a very good van, if you're interested.

We
have just recived Some sad news - Willy de Hoog from Antwerp passed
away yesterday. He and Mady, his wife, have been friends of a number of
us for some time. The photo to the left I took in Antwerp when we all
stopped for a beer when riding the "Early Riders" weekend. Willy
certainly looked after us all when we were there and he rode most of
our Dragon Tours and was usually seen on the Scarborough and
Cornish week long events.

January
I'm
told that George Egan, a former section member, passed away during the
first week of January. His funeral is at Coychurch Crematorium on the
27th January at 13.15 and afterwards at the Victoria Inn, Sigingstone.
Sincere condolences to Gill and the family.

January
Does
anyone know the whereabouts of a Vincent comet - reg no OPE836 - sold
to someone, thought to be a John, who lived near Cardiff. Please let me
know if you have any leads.
28th
December
With
only four names on the list for the proposed bus trip to Sammy Millers
Museum, it is obvious that we cannot justify organising the event so it
has been cancelled.
I have uploaded our events calendar for 2022,
but please note there is a shortage of volunteers to organise some of
the runs and events, so keep an eye on the calendar as some of our runs
etc may well be cancelled. Those events have a "no organiser" in bold
type against them.
The
next meeting in Llanharry will be a Noggin & Natter on the 10th
January - please make an effort to attend. Happy New Year to everyone.
14th
December
A few notes and photos of our Christmas Dinner and prize giving are now
on the reports page.

And now for a little Xmas story - anyone seen this on Facebook:

Someone spotted the fake and gave Phillip Tooth a mention as well.
2nd
December
This is the final call for the Christmas dinner on the 13th as our
orders have to be in on Monday next. Here is a brief report
on the recent club General meeting, it's worth a read. The latest CMB
magazine is on the button above.
19th
November
Only
20 members turned up for the charity auction last Monday which
was sucessfully handled by our Rob as auctioneer. We raised a
total of £397, including quite a few donations on the night with one
coming from Roger T on behalf of Simon Pritchard. Since then Terry H
has made a substantial contribution. Well done everyone. The total
stands at £497 and the section can afford the £3 to make our donation
up to a round £500.
Don't forget the Xmas dinner and prize giving - just email your choices
from the menu.
So far I have only 4 names for the bus trip to Sammy Millers on the 9th
Feb - and it would not be viable with those numbers, so if you'd like
to go, please let me know.
11th
November
I
trust that you are all going to vote on the proposals put forward by
the directors to be voted on at the next General Meeting later this
month - best be quick, if you intend to do something. If you feel you
need an analysis of all the confusing 'corporate speak' (wish they
wouldn't do that, as we're only a motorcycle club) - have a read of this document.
6th
November
Please
note that we have our charity auction arranged for the meeting on the
15th - do please make an effort to attend and bring something with you
that we can sell for charity. Our Christmas dinner and prize giving is
set for Monday the 13th December - menu here.
Please return the form to Jean or myself - failing that simply send an
email with choices.
Vince has written up some of his memories of his raciing career and you
can read about them on his page - here.
