As I had been pre occupied with my extension works and hence not visited club nights or been on the club ride-out. Brian called me to remind me of the upcoming Bee’s club reunion. He mentioned that so many people were away and that the turn out would be lower than past years. I immediately texted the members whose mobile numbers I had to remind them.

Sunday came and the day started slightly overcast. The last time I rode my bike was approximately eight weeks ago so when it came to starting her up it was a struggle. Thank god for my trickle charger that Danny had left plugged in.

When we arrived at the Hilton Hotel, the Busy Bee gazebo was already up and quite a few members had turned up. By this time the sun was breaking through the clouds. We all started chatting with each other and more members started turning up. Before long there was quite a good turnout.

Trophies were handed out for various categories and Pat did her usual raffle to raise money for the club funds. It turned out to be a great day especially with so much rain we have had in recent days and a break for me from the stressful building works. Safe biking and catch you on the next one!
