Junction bike show 16th June 2019 & autojumble

We would like to thank Paul Draper landlord of the Junction Pub in Rainford for once again allowing us to have a bike show in his very large marquee.  The event was well attended but not quite as many as in January, this was probably due to it being father’s day and the unpredictable weather. However, the weather wasn’t too bad and we had riders in and out all day. There was a great variety of bikes on display and our thanks go to all those who attended, as without…

THE GOOD SAMARITAN

Our North West Section Chairman Alex has also been helping a lady celebrating her 105th birthday. She loved it as can be seen in the VMCC March 2019 Journal. Alex’s letter regarding this is the journal’s Star Letter. Wow, that’s an achievement Alex.

We are extremely lucky to have such a dedicated Chairman in the…

BRING & BUY SALE

The club held a bring & buy sale recently and I attended with my friend Tom, neither of us had been to a bring & buy sale at the club before and didn’t know what to expect. As we didn’t know what to do, we both brought bottles of alcohol for the sale.
