The 2019 Bunfight and 2020 Great Quiz!!


Well, I hope everyone that was able to get enjoyed the Annual Christmas Bunfight. Many thanks to everyone who helped with the event and particular congratulations to those of our chums from the South Durham Section who so skilfully bought the winning raffle tickets.



Which, of course, were sold in a random fashion. But still…



That was the last Monday meeting of 2019. The first meeting of 2020 will be on Jan 6th and (just to get you out of the post-Christmas blues) there is the Great Quiz to look forward to. On the first evening of 2010!!!! Be there.



I am forced (by my inherent good manners) to remind you the there is the South Durham Boxing Day Run on… Boxing Day. We will be starting out from the Red Lion at Plawsworth at 10:00. There is also the annual South Durham Presentation Evening on Saturday 11th Jan – more details from their website.



So on behalf of myself and t’Committee, I wish you all the best for Christmas and New Year, thanks for your support in 2019 and look forward to seeing you in 2020.



Pete



P.S. if anyone has any suggestions about how to make the Bunfight even better, please contact me.

P.P.S As I’m one of the organisers, I have to be there. So that’s one of the suggestions that won’t fly…..

What's going on in November and December.


Well now, after the formality of the AGM we’ll have a look at the fun and frivolity to be had in the remainder of the year at the Northumbrian Section.



On the 25th of November, Robin and Theresa will enthral us with tales of their exploits at the Moto Piston Rally in Spain. Kick off as close to 8:30 as we can.



December 2nd brings the talk about riding with the White Helmets. Raffle and pies n’peas tickets are available beforehand from Dennis. If you can’t buy them before the day, please pre-book the pies n’peas via an  email message to Dennis and me so we can get the proper catering arranged. PLEASE NOTE the kick off time is 8:15 sharp, with the raffle draw and scran at half time (8:45).



Last but not least we have the Great Northumbrian Section Bunfight on the 16th December. We are limiting the tickets to 60 this year and nearly 40 have gone already, so let me know by return if you want any. Quizzes, raffles, food and bingo – all for £4.00. Kick off at 8:15.



There’s only so much fun a person can take!!



I also have to mention the South Durham Xmas party in December, the presentation evening in January and the Boxing Day run on….Boxing Day!  Tickets and more information on request from Messrs Smith and Feldon!



Ho Ho Ho!!!!
