The Honda Owners Club

Hi all - we are going to see if we can get a Reading Branch of the HOC started - covering the Thames Valley area

First inaugural meeting WED 27th AUGUST at The Swann, Three Mile Cross (Junc 11 off the M4 onto the A33 towards Basingstoke. Left at the first roundabout and into Three Mile Cross, pub on LHS) We will meet from 7.30pm on. The pub has a huge car park at the rear. We are looking to meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month...............so if you are in the area come and join us!

Good luck with this Erica - I'm sure it will be a success and look forward to following the progress !

I'm in!

(can I come on my Triumph?)

Of course you can Steve!! You'll be made very welcome! Hope you all have a great evening!

Me and Jack are coming too

Great night - 21 folk where there. Hope everyone enjoyed it. Allie has taken on the job as 'temporary' secretary, Mick volunteered to co ordinate ride outs and Lindz is going to do us a web site!

Excellent! well done and thanks to everyone who came along.

Next meeting on the 10th of September at The Swan.

Thanks for arranging this Erica. It was nice to put faces to names.

I might even come on a Honda next time (and stay a bit longer!)

Well done Erica and Allie for getting it running . Nice meeting place, good food, we can recommend the Steak and Ale Pie .

It was good to meet up with everyone and even Mrs. Chimpy enjoyed the evening.

I can't promise to get to every meeting but I will make it to some, might even come on a bike as well instead of being chauffered .

Regards

Chimpy

Woohoo think we may have recruited a new member.... The guy we just brought Jack's new bike from! He seems like a really nice bloke, has owned a few Hondas and is very knowledgeable and friendly
He said he had no idea there was a Reading Branch, hardly surprising cos its new, but if other people have looked before and not found anything maybe they won't look again so maybe we need to find them, not quite sure how right now (so I guess this post is actually quite pointless) but I'm sure something will come to me.

I have an idea but need to check something first....

We have now got posters up all around Reading, including at the IAM, Hein Gerrick and Fireblade Honda (with A5 flyers). Also Mike at Honda has done an email announcement to his customrs data base so I think we are getting it out and about. Will have to see who turns up tonight! I reckon once the web site is linked to the main HOC site and we have lots of stuff on it, that will also encourage more.

Any other suggestions very welcome!

Well done Erica, sounds like the publicity machine is rolling!

See you tonight.

Chimpy

Just a quick update - if trying to get onto the new Reading HOC web site is driving you 'dotty' the reason is, I didn't realise there was a 'dot' between the Reading and HOC i.e. the correct web site is http://www.reading.hoc.org.uk - as per the link from the main HOC web site All posters and flyers now corrected and being re issued! Well done to Lindz for getting it all rolling and looking so good and our official photographer (Chimpy) for getting some pictures! (but please avoid me with that camera!)

Look forward to seeing everyone on the 24th Sept at The Swann, Three Mile Cross
