Carole Nash Classic Bike and Scooter Show - Sat Jan 11th+Sun Jan 12th

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone fancied going to the Carole Nash bike and scooter show over at Newark show ground. Tickets are only £10.00 to get in ( if bought off the internet). I am definitely going to go, not sure if I will go Saturday or Sunday yet, but I've got 4 seats going spare in my car if anyone fancies it. First come, first served, let me know.

Merry Xmas from everyone at Chester Scooter Club

And a reminder that there will be no club meetings on Christmas eve or new year's eve, so the next meeting will be Tuesday 7th Jan 2020.

Saturday 21st December - Northern Soul at the Naval Club

Christmas Toy Run 2019.

Many thanks to all those scooterists who attended on Sunday our 16th Toy Run ! Especial thanks to Stuart and Brad for hosting the event .Thanks also to Erika for driving all the toys to the hospital.This event was the first "Signing On " event for the NWBA scheme and seemed to go smoothly.Lots of individuals and a variety of clubs attended on a day that started well,weather wise,with 50 scooters leaving Clubbies car park for the run to the hospital.The weather turned very wet,causing a low number of scooterists returning for the hotpot food after the run. Thanks again to all involved .Dave.

NWBA AGM - Sun 17th November

Hi All,

This years NWBA AGM meeting will be held at The Old Motorbike Cafe (CH74HR).

The meeting time is 11am on the 17th November. Please can you get there before 11am.

We are hoping this year that all the clubs within the alliance will be able to attend, as this year we are planning to put forward a lot of other business to discuss. Can I ask that all clubs have 1 main spokesman to speak on the club's behalf. This years minutes with an agenda list will be handed out. Can all clubs please come with at least 2 dates for the events that they would like to host.

If a club is unable to attend, please can you forward your apologies.

Anybody who is a Scooterist from within the alliance area, is more than welcome to attend the AGM, as the NWBA is for all scooterists not just the clubs. At the end of the meeting we will be doing open questions for all Scooterists, so that questions can be answered and any other information can be given.

Thanks to all, and look forward to seeing you.
Steve

Post below is from NWBA Facebook page:

Important notice with regards next Sunday’s ride out.
Due to Chester Gay Pride on the same day. A lot of roads will be closed in Chester city centre. This means that we not be able go to down to river.
Having spoken to a lot of Scooterists this weekend, the decision has been taken to move the end of the ride to Chester Lakes. Which are hosting a charitable event. This is a classic vehicle show which is free to entry or donations if anyone would like to give. There will be refreshments available.
Below you will find a link to the start meeting point, which is The Old Motorbike Cafe, a google link for the route that we will taking. Plus a link for the Chester Lakes.
The next NWBA ride is Chester Dee Run , 22 September, normally it has had a meeting point of Mc Donald’s in Flint. This we have decided to change the start / meeting point to The Old Stores Motorbike Cafe, Pontblyddyn, Mold, Ch74HR. Hopefully this will in courage more people to ride from the start point, as over the pass few years a lot of people have just gone straight to the river. Hopefully all clubs and lone rides will be able to make it. As I would be great to see as many rides as possible.
We will be meeting at The Old Motorbike Cafe at 11.30am on the 22 September. Leaving at 12.30pm to ride to the Chester Lakes. At the cafe you will be able to get all your refreshments.
