Chapter Clubnight
2022-06-08 19:30 - 22:00 | The Walnut Tree, 21 Station Road, Blisworth, Northamptonshire, NN7 3DS, United Kingdom
When the price was increased at the Rugby Club we needed to find a new location. At the time I was keen to reduce our outgoings as much as possible which we have managed mainly through Scott finding a new web supplier at a greatly reduced cost.

The Mill at the time suited our situation but there were always going to be compromises, the main one being the parking. Since Covid the Mills customer base has increased alarmingly meaning that even ar- riving at 1845 on club night is difficult to find a parking space, and with the good weather this will only increase. Also not a massive concern but I am aware that a couple of members have fallen on the stairs when going down to the bar sober. Since attending they have also increased the price of the top room for events.

In light of this future club nights will be held at;

THE WALNUT TREE21 Station Rd, Blisworth, Northampton NN7 3DS

There is a charge for using the room but less than the Rugby club was and there is adequate parking. The bar is next door to our room but on the same level. Let’s give it a try and see what peoples thoughts are.

This is an invite to my fellow lady riders to join me for the 16th annual International Female Ride Day, and my last ride for the Chapter before we move permanently to deepest, darkest Wales.

Lady pillions – your man is welcome to ride with us so you can join in the fun 😊

Bicester village are setting aside an area in the main shopping street for us to display our bikes and are really looking forward to welcoming us!

They want an idea of numbers so either respond to the Facebook event or drop me an email martine@garland.me.uk

The ride: we’ll be heading off from our usual McDonald’s A43 start point at 10.30 for a leisurely 40-minute ride to Bicester Village shopping complex via Buckingham (arriving approx. 11:15am). We’ll have a couple of hours to do some shopping and have lunch, then head back to Towcester around 2pm (of course you can always stay there longer!).

You can read more about International Female Ride Day here https://motoress.com/international-female-ride-day/

The round-trip from McDonald’s to Bicester Village and back is only 44 miles, so even the smallest of fuel tanks will make it!

Northants V-Twin April Fool Charity ride for Cynthia Spencer is back on!!

SATURDAY 30TH APRIL IS THE DATE!!

We need all of you to save this important date!! Lets once again make some noise in the town center and raise some money for this wonderful charity!!

As usual, we will be joining NVTwin in this epic fundraising effort for Cynthia House.

Led by Badger (07946299447), we will leave Towcester McDonalds at 10.00 for the short ride to the meeting point at Sixfields. From there, led and marshalled by NVTwin, we will roll into the town centre and park in the pedestrian area. Once parked the expectation is that the bikes will stay there on display until leaving en masse at 13.00, or thereabouts.

The riders are free to roam the streets, drink coffee, eat cake and shop until the leave time.

Members can also go straight to Sixfields, instead of joining Badger and I.

Look forward to seeing you all there, if you’ve never done it before it is actually an awesome experience.

Fox Pub Rideout

Departing from Towcester McDonalds at 6pm, Mike leading.

This coming Monday the 4th of April, I am planning to lead a fairly short ride to the Fox Pub in Farthinghoe between Banbury and Brackley on the A422.The village is quite small and quiet and the pub is sat right amongst houses so the reaction to the event may be interesting. They have titled the event a burger and bike night so I presume some food will be available if required.I will attempt to leave Mc Donalds in Towcester at 6.00pm.The event will be weather dependant especially as I am currently looking out on snow and freezing wind, so keep an eye on the FB page.This will be a one way ride so you can leave when you want. The ride is only around 20 miles so you can all be home for your Horlicks.
