Once again we must thank Pat and his wife Shelly for allowing us to use their country abode to have our annual B.B.Q. With good weather good company and good food. Well nobody complained about the cooking anyway, a great day out. On the 14th of August the Tax Dodgers run had a turnout of 14 bikes. Mick Leach led us on a pleasant ride to the Blue Bell Inn at Hockley Heath, meeting up with the Birmingham section of the B.S.A. Club were Phil Bull made us most welcome. I think there members were quite taken with such a good selection of old bikes and not all B.S.A’s. We had 40 turn up for the Last of the Summer Wine run. Mick Leach expertly led us through Derbyshire to the Mount Pleasant pub, were we enjoyed chip butties and a drink before heading home.

At 8:00am on the July 24th eight of us set of for Bridgnorth were after a good breakfast at Tony’s Dinner Quatford, we joined the North Birmingham Section for their Seven Valley run. Now here’s a section that hasn’t lost the plot, over 30 bikes turned up and not a modern bike amongst them, brilliant. We had a very pleasant run around the Seven Valley stopping at Ironbridge for ice-cream, then back to Tony’s dinner for a cup of tea and a bun before setting of for home. On July 26th we had the Pie and Peas run. 24 bikes left Marston’s 8 with pillions. Brian led us on a very pleasant 35 mile run round the Staffordshire and Derbyshire lanes, finishing back at Marston’s were 48 sat down to pies peas and chips. Well done Brain and many thanks. £110 raised on the night towards this year’s charity.
