HOC Christmas Social January 2025 / Grumpy’s Earsham

When I, David Robertson (Branch Secretary), arrived three of our members were already there. The mills for their bikes are featured in the gallery above. Honda makes a good mill.

The lunch was at Grumpy’s of Earsham Mill.

We were put in the side room which was a good space for us to be well behaved, and we were.

We were served well by the cafe staff and the owner was pleased for our custom on a cold winters day. Although take a look at the photograph above of Earsham Mill and tell me if you can see a cloud. A good day for a ride, as some of the members came on their bikes.

The conversation ebbed and flowed and JJ, the branch chair, sat next to me, I think was pleased to be there. Her SP was tucked up for the winter and we talked a bit about motorcycles and my bad memory. She is a good reminder that some have an ability for timing, not just comedians like me.

Paul Burnington’s project I found out was a thumb brake on the clutch side of his blade.

One thing we were all certain of. Motorcycling was here to stay, and Honda was fulfilling our dreams with two wheel fun.

The owner of the cafe explained that they were starting, this spring, to have a 2 wheel Saturday 2nd Saturday of the month. I think we might make it a Branch meet to mingle with other bikers and find out the 2 wheel news via the word of mouth.

Our next meeting is in February. I am to put out an email soon with a straw poll for dates. Choice of 2 venues / Posh Pigs or Grumpy’s.

The Branch AGM is in April and most likely an outdoor meeting at CJ Ball.

Well done to those that made the day … And to those in the Branch that we see this spring moving into summer.
