Chiltern Section

March 3rd Club Night was well attended with an interesting and informative talk and film on Stanley Woods. Our appreciation and thanks to Mick Woollett. Thanks also to Glyn Chambers for organising and Ian Loveridge for the black art of the digital magic lantern.
On the same night Tony O Connor was presented with the Willie Willshire Trophy, for his outstanding contribution to the Section in the past year.
I cannot resist mentioning the hilarious article in the March edition of the Journal - it certainly made a chage from the norm! Ostensibly originating from Oz, it regaled a tale of two Chinese tri-seater motorcycles. What larks, especially when one considers the meaning of the Hokien and Cantonese names used, in addition to various risque intimations. Two female oriental acquaintances were highly amused when asked to translate. Unfortunately, the meanings in most instances are far too rude to divulge on the website. Perhaps the piece was intended for the April issue?

The Shuttleworth Collection is having an open day and vintage vehicle display on May 22nd. The Scott Club and Sunbeam Club will be attending. If anyone in the Section wishes to attend there is free entry for rider and eligible machine (25+ years old). An entrance fee of £10 per person applies to pillion riders (and passengers). Please note that tickets must be obtained beforehand from Richard Martin (see Contacts page). For more details contact the Shuttleworth Collection via their web site: www.shuttleworth.org
