WWW.LOSTRIDERS.CO.UK VSOC CENTRE 9 – OCTOBER 2016 WWW.VSOC.ORG.UK OWNERS OF: VIRAGO, DRAGSTAR, ROYAL STAR, VENTURE STAR, MIDNIGHT STAR, WARRIOR, RAIDER & STRATOLINER (OWNERS OF OTHER CUSTOM BIKES WELCOME AS ASSOCIATE MEMBERS) Welcome to our latest member It was great to hear that Lynn had decided to become a full member, having just bought a lovely Virago trike tp keep Paul company on the roads. Full marks for riding it to our Centre meet for one of your first rides. I know Lynn is now out riding at every chance! Tinker - Editor RTTW A few hardy Lost Riders joins the band of bikers for the Ride To The Wall in some challenging weather. This annual ride sees thousands of motorcyclists of all ages from around the UK coming together for a moving memorial service. The service remembers the people whose names are engraved on the walls of the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum. More than £400,000 has been raised for the Arboretum over the past eight years. CENTRE CHARITY UPDATE Were R Here – Our charity chosen for this year is planning to hold a “Party in the Park” at Arnot Hill Park on 8th April next year for kids and supporting parents. Kev wonders whether we should inlcude a ride in to the charity on this day as part of our Gathering of the Clans activities or whether we should keep the two events separate and hold the Gathering the week before. Please let Kev know your views at:[email protected] We are also looking for ideas for fundraising events that we can hold between how and April. It was suggested that we could ask for an optional £1 donation from those attending our rideouts – again let Kev know your views and any other great ideas you may have to raise funds for this worthwhile cause. RAFFLE PRIZES Chris and Lorraine always hold a great raffle as part of our Christmas bash. They once again need your help with donations of suitable raffle prizes. You can bring these along to the next centre meet or bring them with you to our Party on 19th Nov at Kegworth. MODS & ROCKERS - Forest Town 2nd Sept A good turnout of Lost Riders once again supported this annual event Hi All, Well the C9 BBQ went very well and was well attended. I really enjoyed it - thanks go to Kev and Bev for cooking the food and for the salads and Thank You All for coming (pics below). The Leicester meet at the Nags Head went well, low on numbers but still had a nice time. Our Christmas party is on the 19th Nov at Kegworth. I have done gigs there myself it’s a great place. If you have your ticket keep it safe and get your free drinks. The week after is my 65th Birthday Party on the 26th Nov. You are all invited more info is on our website I hope you can come.

See the website (link below) http://www.amca.uk.com/beach-racing/skegness-beach-race Obviously the weather in early November could be somewhat inclement and therefore I suggest we make a final decision nearer the time. So keep an eye on Facebook or contact me. The racing starts at 11:30 (3 Hours) Meet at Gunthorpe at 10:00 for a 10:30 start.
