At Devil’s Bridge in the sunshine

10 bikes joined the run (6 Norton’s) that took place in dry and very warm conditions (a welcome change from our last North West run!). Harry and Russ had wandered off when the photo was taken. Colin McConnachy from the South Lakes branch joined us at Devil’s Bridge for a chat. 166 miles were covered in the day.

Seven riders from the Yorkshire Branch met up with Harry and Alan from the East Yorkshire Branch during the ride out to Scarborough. Fortunately only minor rain showers were encountered! 193 miles were covered in the day.

Eleven bikes joined the run on Sunday 12th May, the photo was taken at Dick Turpins snack bar. Following the stop we made our way through lovely countryside, unfortunately the light then medium rain set in. Whilst riding in Yorkshire it was dry, in Lancashire it was wet, wet, wet!?! Definitiely a route to be retraced in dry conditions in the future. Well done to Peter and Suzanne Holland for planning the run. 146 miles were covered on the day.

The AGM was very well attended at the Heritage Motor Centre, which is an excellent venue. Mike Jackson was interviewed and gave an entertaining response, the highlight of the meeting was Stuart Garner’s attendance and address to the meeting about Norton Motorcycles, he reviewed the progress so far and the plans for the future, he left the impression that the marque is in safe competent hands.

28 Branch members have been issued with a garment branded with the Yorkshire branch logo, individuals who regularly attend branch meetings and / or who contributed to the running of the 2012 International Rally in Skipton were asked to select a Sweatshirt, Fleece Jacket or a T-shirt as a thank you from the club. The garments were paid for out of the branch bank account which is in a very healthy state.
