Hiya All,

1/         Sunday 14th September Ace Café run to Brighton .

I plan to lead a group run to Brighton next Sunday 14^th September. It is the day of the Ace Café run so should be well attended down there with various entertainment etc.

We will be LEAVING Godstone Pond car park   (RH9 8DY) at 09:00 and taking a country route, (*note that’s LEAVING not arriving) No Motorway, few A roads. With a possible stop along the way to admire the views from Ditchling Beacon. Total journey is only 37 miles each way. If you have any friendly bikers who are not club members invite them along too. Not a ride for Rossi wannabees on race reps though. Weather currently looks promising and unless it really is persisting down I’ll be going, If weather poor and ride in doubt call me before 08:30 on the Sunday.

 Please make an effort to attend this run out and let me know in advance if possible if you are coming.

 2/ The above could be considered a trial run for Brightona which we are having a stand at on October 12^th. Central have paid for this, I have a marquee, generator, kettle etc. arranged. We still want pictures of events and rallies we’ve attended, preferably on boards we can hang up, and some “qualifying” no forget that, ANY bikes to put on show. There will be jobs for all volunteers from making tea, chatting to prospective members, giving out leaflets and cards etc. I’d really like to push this as a membership drive. Then we can justify asking for further funds from central so we can attend future events free. J Please put it in your diary and let me know if you can assist.

 3/  Next years rally preps are on schedule thanks mainly to Ian Murfitt. Thanks also to Garrie and the others who have been seeking out or suggesting suitable entertainment. Our next formal meeting is scheduled for 6^th November at 19:00 sharp in the Godstone Club committee room. As before please let me know if you can come along and also if you cannot as it helps me to organise accordingly. I’d also like to know if you would like food provided.

4/ The national AGM is in November. I’ll be there to represent YOUR views not mine so if there are any issues you want me to raise please let me know.

 5/ CHRISTMAS, It’s been suggested that we have our Xmas celebration at a new venue to include a formal meal followed by some musical entertainment, dancing, whatever floats your boat really. A biker friendly pub in South Godstone , The Jolly Farmers, with suitable facilities and excellent food could do this for us on a Friday evening in December but I need a very good estimate of numbers, if not enough response then I can’t arrange it. Please let me know if this interests you. If distance is a problem I could arrange to put some of you up for the night my place in Godstone. First come first served. Time is really short for this so let me know as soon as possible if you are a yes or no.

 Thanks all,
