A great January meeting, plenty of people and information. For those who couldn’t be there, here’s a summary:
The Deva Christmas do was a great success, and enjoyed by everyone who attended; our Deva Legion Hut (shelter) will be delivered and constructed this month; we’ve had a couple of really good festive/ new year ride-outs already, there was also a good turnout at the Brewers Fayre for the post-Christmas breakfast, this could be repeated at some stage. £10 all you can eat – rude not to!
Black Mountains Chapter are doing a ‘Normandy 80’ run from Oxford/ Portsmouth, and want escorting on the UK side on 5th April ‘24, we’ll ensure full details about this get posted on social media soon; as a result, changes to the Claire House date have been made; this year, the Cider/ Oak Tree/ Hog in the Bog rallies are supported by us, again, we’ll be posting more about them soon (but there are rooms available now, contact Sue); it’s the AGM next month, food is planned at the social club – keep an eye out for updates…
Plans for a Road Crew meeting to be made soon, if you want to support this then contact Suggs; 2024 Membership needs finalising before January end please; AGM plans are going well – members should feel able to share some views in preparation so that these can be considered for 2024; safety is being revisited ready for the 2024 season too. John has taken the reins on this and suggested the use of Roadcraft as a starting point for developing riding skills. He also announced that a number of supporting activities will take place to engage safety and make membership more enjoyable – in a positive way..
2024 Calendars went on sale, with all profits going to Claire House, if you still want one there are a couple left… we have a Deva Legion Curry Night planned in January – £25pp including drinks. New-Neffyn (at Llangollen) is happening in February, full plans in place for entertainment and Paul has rooms reserved; thanks were offered at the meeting to Bob for the Jersey H-D poker chips. He was wise and purchased a few as they are closing down – donating them to us, to sell and raise £45 for Claire House. Thanks Bob!; H.O.G activities are good, Paul encourages us to do them! Ride 365, Deva mileage and ABCs of HOG are all really interesting, take a look.
Last minute reminder, breakfast this Saturday.
