Chapter Clubnight
2022-07-13 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 3DSThere 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.

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!).

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.
