Members and guests came from Witbank, Pretoria, the West, East and South Rand and met at the final departure point at the Blockhouse on the R59. It was not too cold and everyone enjoyed a lovely winter run. The Gold Wings arrived at Stonehenge Lodge around 11:30.

Members then enjoyed a delicious breakfast where after Wing Riders were given the...

  Hello to Everybody The Mini Wing Fling has come and gone and what a memorable trip it was. Thank you to Chris for all the organising from this end, even though you could not join us. Please have a look at the Facebook photos and website write-ups, if you have not yet seen them. With our April run, we tried something new, as per request from some members. We did the run on a Saturday, instead of the traditional Sunday. Although it was well attended, the general feeling is that we must stick to the Sunday runs. The 2019...
