Ok I've been nagged in to action! 
Where do I begin?
Medical report:
Stan is now back on the road after a very long recovery. He's still limping, but is making steady progress!
J had a crunch on his bike and hurt his leg, spent a short while in hospital and is now back on the road (still has a bit of a limp).
Becky has been in to hospital for an operation on her hip. She's now recovering at home, so Marks peace has been shattered!
So I was feeling left out and decided to slide up the road on some ice! But unlike the others I don't have a limp (a bad arm, but no limp)!
Pete (our President) has just come out of hospital after a hip replacement operation. He's making a speedy recovery (did you expect Pete to do anything at a normal pace?). He is however going to be off his bikes for about 3 months.
We've had a couple of member leave for one reason or another (Barry, Brian, Terry and Beardy Dave).
Martin (mk II) and Vicky have been made full members. Les has returned from Spain (he just couldn't keep away) and is an active member of the club once more! And Sticks (another Tony) has been made an associate member.
The committee hasn't changed since the last time I updated the news. It seems to work, we've managed to avoid any politics and most of all we're having fun! The way the club is run may not suit some, but it suits us!
We held our first bike show (1st Wave Custom Bike Show) in June. This was in aid of Kent Air Ambulance and had a real good day (as hopefully did those that came), AND we raised 450 pounds in the process!! We're planning on repeating it this year, so come along and join in the fun!
The planning for the 10th Joint Rally is well on the way (even a bad hip doesn't stop Becky!). So we're hoping to see loads of friends there (old, new and ones we've yet to meet!) to enjoy the weekend with us. Tickets are on sale NOW!

Not quite such a long wait for news this time!
Only one committee change since the last update; Gail has stepped down as Secretary and also left the club as she has other commitments outside the club. We wish her well and hope that she doesn't become a stranger! So your friendly web master has stepped into her shoes (not literally!!).
Jay, Barry and Beardy Dave have been made full members and Martin has been made a new Associate member.
Stan is still off the road and is going into hospital at the end of the month for an operation on his leg and hopes to be well enough to attend the Joint rally.
This year we will be holding our first Custom bike show in aid of the Kent Air Ambulance (hopefully this will be a regular event), so we hope to see as many of you as possible.

I know, I know, it's been almost a year since I last updated the news page! Things have been a bit hectic.
There have been a couple of changes on the committee, Pete has moved up to President, Kevin is now Vice President and Stan has taken over as Treasurer. Since the last news update we have a new Associate member; Jay and several new full members, plus some potential new Associate members.
Les has now got married and moved to Spain, hell that's gonna be one hell of a rideout!
Stan had a bit of a mishap on his bike back in May and still has a leg in plaster. So he's year has been a bit quiet!

So the days are getting shorter and the queues in the shops are getting longer! Think I must have blinked and missed summer this year.
Preparations for the Christmas Party are just about complete, so it's just down to you guys (and gals) to buy your tickets and come and enjoy yourselves.
The club has been out and about at rallies, rideouts and a few one day events like the Unity Ride 2007 (which I managed to go on!).

After a very successful time at the helm, Les has (for personal reasons) decided to step down as President and has even left the club. The club has really moved forward since he took over and we would all like to thank him for his guiding hand.
So Stan has taken the helm again and Pete has stepped into Stan's shoes as Vice-President. Pete is also keeping hold of the Treasurer post as he's got a firm hold of the clubs finances now and just won't let go!
We have gained a few new Associate Members: AAndy, Kevin, Ali, Martin, Terry, Alan, Kenny and Dave. Terry has now been made a full member - yes a lot happened in the past 2 months!
Most club members have attended several rallies and I have posted write ups on the diary page. Personally I'm still being plagued by bad luck and have failed to attend any rallies other than our own!  I did manage to do the Poker Run, which I really enjoyed! Things have got to get better soon!

Here we are at the start of a brand new year and already much has happened!
Stan (our President) has decided to step down so he can spend more time pursuing his war re-enactment activities (thanks go to him for keeping us under control for the past year).
Les (our Vice President) has therefore taken over until our AGM in June (as Les has a new patch he's decided he needs a new bike as well).
Dixy Jnr. had a little incident with a car that decided to help him park his bike. Les & I picked him and his bike up - no serious damage to either, but the air was blue!
Tigga also had a "little" incident when he tried to overtake a car without his bike. This was rather more serious with him spending a couple of days in hospital and being told to take it easy for a few weeks (I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing him a speedy recovery). His bike, as Tigga put it, "gave its life to save his" and is now in need of quite a bit more than just TLC.
Preparations for the 7th Joint Rally are well on the way. As this is our 10th year as a club we're hoping to make it a big one, so come along and help us party! 
So to summarise:
Dixy Jnr. fell down, Les & I picked him up, Stan stepped down, Les stepped up, Tigga fell down and the rally is coming up, so don't let us down, book up - now! Phew!
As ever you can send us feedback/comments via the email link or on the guestbook (this is no longer password protected).
