Although for 18 months we had planned that our next gathering would take place on Saturday, 6 November 2021 at the National Motorcycle Museum in Bickenhill, Solihull, near Birmingham, to celebrate our belated 20th and 21st anniversaries, we have reluctantly had to cancel until Saturday, 11 June 2022 because only six members indicated they would be attending.

In the meanwhile please take care.
