LIBRARY First, a big thank you to Owen for all the work he did for the library over the years. His knowledge of what books we had and where they were to be found was always very helpful, and that will be missed. Best wishes, Owen. It has been a busy time over the last few months, we have had three big donations of books and magazines (151 books in all), and we thank all the donors for these. These books have now been catalogued and are ready to put on the shelves. Fortunately, we have reorganised the motorcycle section, with new shelving which was organised by Graeme and assembled with help from Jack Porter and Ted Hockley and this allowed us to have more room on the shelves for the many motorcycle and motorcycling books included in recent donations. A lot of good reading! We also had a donation of a book from the Clements Family in memory of the late Tom Clements. Tom was a very active member of the club and it was nice to receive this in his memory. Thanks to his family. Also donated were three bookcases, which we found places for, and this allowed us a bit more shelving room, much needed. We still have a lot of magazines to sort through, and a large amount of motorcycle information to be looked at. We also recently received a large collection of swap meet photos taken by the late Alan Parris – and also received some motorcycle photos taken by the late Graham Anderson.
Thanks to the donors of these photos. A big thank you to all who have helped in the library, especially husband, Graeme, for all his work on the shelving, etc. And it is great to have Ted Hockley on board as Assistant Librarian. Kay Shaskey Librarian
MAINTENANCE The last year has been much the same as previous years with general grounds maintenance carried out by a small team of volunteer’s around covid restrictions, cutting grass and generally keeping down unruly weeds There were new canvas roofs put on the gazebos in the beer garden late last year which was a big improvement from the ripped and damaged ones. A special thanks to all the maintenance team who came out to make the grounds the way they are. Mike Foster Maintenance Rep
