The Honda Owners Club

I know it's the chosen day for the HOC Roast, but if anybody fancies a ride up to Oulton Park to see Shakey & Co do there thing, then we will be meeting at either The Kingfisher Hotel carpark @ 08.30 A449 Kidderminster Road, Wall Heath, Kingswinford, Dudley, DY6 0EN

Or 09.30 @ Tong ESSO Petrol station on the A41 to Newport, just off jct 3 M54.

you will have a great day - Oulton is excellent ......... I will be thinking of you all whilst nibbling my 'HOC hog roast' ( not easy to say in a hurry!)

What about that trip to Chocolate Heaven have you not seen the no posting on the Chocolate theme shellshine has got the ball rolling now lets see your name there too no pressure honest

Yes would love to do the choclat trip - went about 18months ago but have to do the HOC Roast..................otherwise I would be their to oggle and drool!

Surely its best to change the date for the 'Chocolate trip'..we must try not to clash events with HOC main events.

......Organisers should check the events calendar and deconflict! ..Its better for all and guarantees better attendance!

Hold up Guys this thread is about BSB at Oulton Park if you want to do Cadbury World that's on the non biking chat under Chocolate which will be on the 14th September
Surely you are not asking me to chat to Jonathan Palmer to see if he could change the date of the racing calendar to fit around what the HOC are doing

Its very unfortunate that I have other commitments and that I can not attend this particular HOC national event, but I do know that other members of the Worcestershire branch are planning to go to Gloucester Branch to join in with there Hog Roast event.

It was just purely that I thought that If other HOC members were going to Oulton and not attending a Hog roast, that we meet up and ride there together

hee hee confusion reigns! (totally your fault Andy for mentioning the September 14th trip to choccie heaven !!! ) Hope you have a blast at the racing! I think it's a jolly good idea to have a word in Mr Palmers ear .... can't hurt...

It's all about choices, if people would prefer to go to Oulton Park for the racing, lets make it something that other members can go to too.

I have to say, not having read the 'Chocolate' thread, I presumed that the choccie run was on 20th July
Thanks for clearing it up

I know that I should'nt have mentioned the Cadbury World thing in the first place on this thread, for which I apologies And yes the idea behind this thread was exactly what Stritchy said. It is a matter of choice and surely we are big enough and ugly enough to make those decision ourselves

I'll drink to that

oooh... it's so tempting..... but... I shall resist the obvious responses!

Here's hoping for a great day tomorrow!!

Who went to Oulton then?
Did you have a good day?

I did of course and it was the first organized ride out for the Worcs branch, I'll post a full report of the racing on the Ride and Race page.

As for the ride it was the first ride out/ trip for the Worcs Branch which went really well. We all met up at the Kingfisher Hotel and followed myself and my son Max, riding pillion, to Tong where we met up with Bob Dean from the Oxford Branch. Unfortunately he had to come by car as his VFR was in bits at George Whites Yes a VFR had broken down
But hey these things happen

Anyway still didn't spoil his day, espiecially as it started to rain en route
We arrived at the circuit and found that the events didn't start till just gone 12, so we had plenty of time to have a catch up, talk about our inpending trip to Knockhill for the next round, we were then joined by Richard Slater and his wife Deb and joined in the with the plans for our trip.
Also we discussed what the Worcestershire Branch is going to do next as far as trips are concerned and of course we talked about the trip to Cadbury World.

Well the racing got under go after a couple of heavy rain showers, which was followed by some nice sunshine for the rest of the afternoon and some icecream was on the cards

We saw all the racing right up to the end said our goodbyes and headed off home, which was dry if not a bit chilly

That was a good day in my book
