Subject: Seaford Bike Fest

Hi there,
I am from Seaford Town Council and I am just spreading the word and was wondering if you could post our event on your website and pass onto anyone like minded. If your Club would like to attend on the day then please do let us know and it might even be possible to find a little display space depending on the reaction we get.

The event has been held for two years already but unfortunately the weather got the better of us last year, so we are really looking forward to a good day this year. It is being held on Sunday 21st August.

Again if you know anyone else or other clubs that may like to come along then the more the merrier. There will be Music, Funfair, Beer Tent, Community Stalls, Classic American cars and Hotrods and we are hoping an endless range of Motorcycles.

If you have any bikes tha may want to display then do let us know and we will see if we can find some space in the main field, it will all depend on how many bikes make it along.

Many thanks and hope to see you there!

Dear Roger ;

Thank you very much for this great week-end. We enjoy it. All the people of our club are very happy.

It was the first time in England for some of them, and they would like to come again. Everybody liked all the programme of the week-end. Yesterday, the steam engines were incredible.

Thanks a lot to all of yours who help us to have a great week-end in England !

Kind regards.

J.B.

PS : The new chairman of your club is very distinguished... !

More sad news this evening, Dave Wilmer has just phoned to say ..Robert Mitchell known to us as Bob passed away this morning, Sat 19 March, Bob and Floss had been members of the club for many years most of the time on the committee running the Mag- Neto as editor and club Secretary etc. Our thoughts are with Floss at this very sad time....

Today a few club members, family and friends said their farewells to Bob at the Worthing Crematorium, this has been the 2nd funeral in as many weeks .It’s a shame more of the club couldn’t make it today. Because Bob has done so much for all over the past 10 years or so, he will be sorely missed. Again all our thoughts are with Floss at this very sad time.

I was a member of the MSBMCC a couple of years ago, and then the family arrived and you know what happened next...you've heard it/seen it so many times before.

However in 2007 I wrote an article for the Magneto called the "Gaffers Gallop" after I rode from Lands End to John O Groats, following the route a a ride undertaken by the "Gaffers" of the Triumph factory in 1953 ( see attached ). Indeed, I think it was published in 2 parts for the magazine.

Even though my time on the road has been limited of late, I have not been idle and in 35 days time my first book on that very journey, will be published. Please see: -

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Travelling-Mr-Turner-Nigel-Winter/dp/0956497543/ref=sr_1_1/276-8051650-5210047?ie=UTF8&qid=1288213498&sr=1-1

I hope the book is of interest to more than just Triumph riders as it deals with the British Bike industry as a whole, as well as popular culture and social history, without being too serious. Indeed the publisher sums up the book very well at http://www.panther-publishing.co.uk/default.asp?contentID=54

I am unlikely to be able to afford a Vincent on the proceeds, but if you could bring it to the attention of the members then I would be very grateful. Not being a "celebrity" I need all the publicity I can give the book.

I hope all is well with the club, and if no ones looking at home, I might sneak out one night.
