It Runs

Today the points turned up so I fitted them. I managed to drop the screw down into the casing so I had to remove this to get it back. For some reason there was water in there, re-soldered the wire to the coil and all is well, I went for a little ride and ended up at the Ace Cafe and a rockers reunion was taking place. I only saw one Matchless there. Was this any one on Here?

Well done Dave, good to find some brave souls still keen enough to get on their bike on a wet and miserable day.

I went for a little ride and ended up at the Ace Cafe and a rockers reunion was taking place. I only saw one Matchless there. Was this any one on Here?

It was the first leg of a 3 day gathering from all over Europe for the Ace Café Reunion, then tomorrow the Brighton Burnup - a thrash down to Brighton seafront where Sussex section will have a club stand with (weather permitting - forecast isn't wonderful) a dozen AMC bikes on display, plus the club's raffle bike (and Sx section ticket sellers) which our multi-task Chair/Sec/Scribe has collected from Kettering. We usually sell between £700 and £1000 of raffle tickets.
Around 10,000+ motorcyclists (mostly 'bikers') are expected to converge on Brighton Prom.

Well now. The BBC Weather forecast for Sunday is ...

Bright spells at first, but cloud will thicken during the morning with rain, heavy at times, spreading in around midday with strong, gusty winds. Rain clearing later in the evening.

£50 bonus if you reach the £1000.00 have a good day.

[g80csp11]

if we get to £950 we will use your bonus to get to the magic £1000
I think with the weather we will struggle for £500, but the raffle sales are only a bonus the real purpose to attend and be seen as a club and attract new members

the real purpose to attend and be seen as a club and attract new members

Of course it is, like past years. Why else would we be there?


All set to go - 8.30 a.m. on the Prom (10 more bikes out of shot in foreground)



Brian, looking to attract new members - just before he collapsed (absolutely true!)


and Brian (seated on right) just after being revived by the Paramedics, with L to R: John Stainer - section Chair/Hon Sec/Scribe, Peter the Generous Gibson (aka g80csp11) - Runs and Rallies organiser, and Roger Cooper - Minder of the takings.



and the two Chinese Ajays courtesy our local Chinese AJS dealer and rider training centre (whose business folded a couple of months later ).

Didn't last, sadly. Blowin' ol' boots and chucking it down at 3.30 p.m.
