A plea for Kamtrek:
Kamtrek is an event open to all, but the branch has participated for well over 10 years, and maybe 20. It used to be organised by the “Seaton Sluice Geriatric Hell’s Angels”, but it has moved around. Recently NOC and Northumbria Advanced motorcyclists have been the main participants. But attandance has been getting dangerously thin. This is a thoroughly enjoyable event, and a great way to end the season. But it is a case of “use it or lose it”. And if “Lost” it will probably be gone for good. Yes, if you win, you have to organise next year’s! But that can be fun too! And the more people who join, the less your chances of winning!
So- the message is: Support Simon Hadden!!! and come to Kamtrek!!!
Profits from the rally with a bit of branch cash added means we can provide a 2-course meal FOC. (Starter and main, or main and pud). You can even have a third course, but please pay for that! Spouses, partners etc all welcome
The site includes its own brewery – brewery tour at 7.30, and meal from 8 p.m. Some sample jugs of brewery ales will be on the tables.
PLEASE e-mail if coming and PLEASE e-mail your choice of meals by end NOV – otherwise service will be disrupted.
