15 branch members attended the Norton Festival in Devon over the weekend of the 1st to 3rd August, the beer tent proved popular! Two awards were made to branch members, Russ Ward received the best ridden Commando award, Peter Holland won the best ridden lightweight award (Peter rode his Electra to the event – approx. 350 miles each way).

4 branch members made the trip to the rally in Holland, a couple of breakdowns were dealt with along the way!

A good ride out in dry weather again, 7 bikes attended the 146 mile run, Pen-y-ghent forms a nice backdrop in the photo.

Awarded to our Chairman for getting lost yet again on our last rideout!

On Thursday 17th April a joint branch quiz was held between the East Yorkshire branch and the Yorkshire Branch, 5 members from the Yorkshire Branch made the journey across to Howden and were surprise winners of the quiz, well done to Bruce, Peter, Andy, Barrie and John who scooped the prize of a gallon of beer! A good night was had by all. Thanks to Harry, Alan and the rest of East Yorkshire branch for their hospitality (and beer).

Another Commando nearing completion on 21st January 2014. The staff at Norton made us all very welcome.
