Sunday 7th August guaranteed glorious sunshine for the (newly) annual Thames Valley Motorcycle Lodge barbecue.

Organised by Neil Harvey and taking place in his huge garden, the masonic bikers and partners gathered from 1pm arriving on an array of motorcycles from Harley Davidsons to Marcus Hilsdon on his Triumph Rocket and a wonderful Harley trike ridden in by Kathy Aris.

All of the bikes made quite a picture parked on the lawn.

A fabulous afternoon ensued. Lots of drink, Pimms for the ladies, and a sizzling BBQ with delicious choices for all. Entertainment came in the form of a tug of war. A competition that nobody wanted to lose.

Great conversation, new friend’s made, old friends relaxed.

Hot sunshine throughout the afternoon.

WM Andy White thanked everyone for attending and Neil and his partner Jayne for catering and cooking.

A definite date for the diaries, same Sunday next Summer.

Many thanks to all those who turned up in support.
