Brian Williams

It’s a BSA Bantam I’m building for my wife Sue. We bought this as a basket case, almost complete but as is always the case much of it was missing.

Brian’s 2nd Southport Ramble Brian Moorcroft organised his second run around the lovely lanes of lancashire repeating the run held a week previously as some of our members were unaware of the first run on Sunday 13th. They had a lovely day of sunshine all following Covid_19 guidelines again and enjoyed the day finishing up back at Brian’s from where they had set off. I wasn’t able to attend sadly, but had been fortunate to do the first one on the 13th along with another group of smiling members. So…
