September Club Weekend at BoA 2012

50th Anniversary of the Moulton Bicycle http://www.flickr.com/photos/anglepoise/3924997955/ Friday 7th Sept: The grounds of The Hall will be open from 17.30pm on Friday for the campers (please do not arrive before this time unless you are a nominated helper). Please remember that The Hall and its grounds are home to Dr. Moulton and that we are there at his invitation. Anthony Best Dynamics and The Moulton Bicycle Co. also have their businesses there. Please respect this! http://www.flickr.com/photos/anglepoise/3925860444/ This year there will be a wristband entry system. Members wishing to attend on Saturday only will have to apply in advance to Arthur Smith* sending a stamped, self- addressed envelope (SAE) and a cheque for £5 payable to the Moulton Bicycle Club. This will entitle you to entry to the Bring and Buy sale and all other events on Saturday. If you wish to bring any family members please state their names on the form provided, there will be no extra cost. Please note you do not need to pay £5 if you are camping or attending the evening meal. Members who are camping or attending the Dinner will be issued with a wristband. This will also entitle them to free entry at the Bring and Buy sale. There will be a security company on duty at the main gate. Anyone without a wristband will not be allowed entry. These measures have proved to be necessary because of security problems in past years. Parking permits will be issued to campers and sellers only and will be sent out when Arthur has received the completed forms. Camping is priced at £15 per tent with the use of shower and toilet facilities. Bring and Buy tables will be £5 per table, £10 for larger tables e.g Trade. Remember please bring suitable covering for tables as the tables this year are hired. Overseas visitors can book through Tim Evans, Membership Secretary, using Pay Pal. *Arthur Smith, 22b Westhampnett Road, Chichester, W.

Members are invited to come along with their favourite Moulton and dress in clothing to match the era of the bike, colour co-ordinated or fancy dress, you will be interviewed by Tony Hadland and a prize will be awarded to the best bike/outfit. http://www.flickr.com/photos/anglepoise/3925058729/ If any members have good examples of very early narrow bellows Moultons please could they bring them along to display in the courtyard and discuss with Tony if the time permits. A greater selection of catering will be provided this year including bacon rolls at the Bring and Buy sale and further lunchtime teas/catering organised by Zoe Martin’s family Once the afternoon talks are over, the Test Track will be available for approximately an hour and a half for members to test out factory demonstrators and each others’ machines. The use of the Test Track will be restricted to this time only as last year it was becoming too crowded and dangerous at times. Please ride safely around the track as there may be damp moss in places and there is a steep climb to master. We may have marshals in place if the track becomes busy to space out the riders and point out hazards. Please wear a helmet for your safety and remember that you attend the event at your own risk. http://www.flickr.com/photos/anglepoise/3926045160/ Saturday evening 7.30pm for 8pm: For the evening the Club offer a choice.
