22 people attended the branch secretaties meeting held in Warwick, 13 of these were branch secretaries, the rest were NOC Executive Committee members. The Yorkshire branch was represented at the meeting. Details will be fed back to branch members at the December branch meeting.
Classic Bike Guide Big Breakfast – Eleven branch members attended the event, a few brave souls even submitted their pride and joys to the dyno man to inflict his own form of mechanical torture!?! Unfortunately one Commando didn’t get to the event due to a belt drive problem.
All fed and watered at the CBG Big Breakfast – one Nott’s Branch member was allowed to upgrade branches on a temporary basis!
Belt drive still in place, but the belts teeth have all sheared off!
Begonia Rally – 7 members attended the rally in Belgium over the weekend of 24th to 27th August. See Barry’s report in the Discussion section.

International Rally & Directions to the venue
Bookings for the International Rally on 6th to 9th July have now topped the 200 mark.
Direction signs will be erected in the area on Thursday night before the event, however, the Skipton RFUC is within a few hundred metres of the railway station. The road directly opposite the station takes you to the venue, hopefully we’ll see you there.
