Hello Everybody As we get more into the swing of chapter-related matters, we try new things. Some more successful than others, but if you do not try, you will never know. Sometimes it will come with change. This letter is one of those new things we are implementing today. We have discussed amongst ourselves and acknowledged that it is very impractical to have our monthly meeting in a public place during the run. It is both noisy and distracting to non-related people.

Central Chapter smelled the roses … at Ludwig’s Roses, north of Pretoria, on our first monthly run for 2018. Members came from all over Johannesburg, Pretoria, Bronkhorstspruit, Witbank, Middelburg and Groblersdal and gathered at the final departure point in Centurion. We arrived at Ludwig’s Roses at 11:00 and a delicious lunch was served at 12:30. Most of us even enjoyed a Rose Milkshake – divine! 32 bikes and trikes and approximately 50 people joined this run. On arrival, we all sang the Wing Song, led by the very talented Hendrik Sadie and Johan Degenaar. Singing the Wing Song will from...

It was once again an honour and privilege to serve as the Chairman of a wonderful group of people that is the Central Chapter. It is my second year as Chairman of the chapter. We are currently 76 members strong, as opposed to 81 at this time last year. The difference is due to some members having resigned stating that the club no longer has meaning for them, they wish to do their own thing, and others have sold their bikes having given up riding due to health issues. We also gained some members during the year. We also lost a...
