Nortons - General

We have changed our meeting place to The Shoulder Of Mutton at Granbourgh CV23 8DN still on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. 

It's a nice pub with a history of welcoming classic bike clubs and riders.

An easy ride down a lane off the A45 so easily accessible for the Coventry/ Nuneaton members.

At what time of day/evenings should we appear please?

Thanks for another 'excuse' for a ride out,!

Regards, 

George 

It's the 3rd Tuesday of each month, so the next two branch meetings are 15th November and 20th December, at 7pm......  TTu is how I fix it in my brain.

We hope to build the branch so that in 2023 we have Saturday or Sunday breakfast meetings with a ride out afterwards.

Now moving to Granborough puts you well into the Northampton and Leicester Branch meeting area. If you come from Nuneaton its closer to go to our Bitteswell meeting, one of three every month around the area. The other two at Welford and Norton near Daventry. A strange choice in an area well covered already.

I suppose more the merrier and all that, and handy for the Warwick/ Southam to Northampton members.

Hi Tony,

Grandbourgh is within Warwickshire county boundry by about 7 miles and easy to get to for the Coventry/Nuneaton members. We would ideally like somewhere more west, but it's a job finding an accomodating venue such as is The Shoulder Of Mutton.

 I'm sure both Warwickshire and Northants can bump along together in close proximity.

I'm an OX post code but feel more attached to Warwickshire as do some Northants post code members.

Hi Peter

Yes its always difficult to find free meeting places inside a pub local to the majority of the membership. We are quite fortunate at our 3 section meetings in this respect. I live about 2 miles from Nuneaton on the west side of Hinckley which is 23 miles from our Welford meeting and your new venue.

It looks like the Norton members around that area will have meetings every week if they wish. Lets hope is doesn't dilute each sections membership but increases it.

My original understanding was the section was more towards the south, Oxford /Banbury area to cater for those members to far away for our meetings. 

Oh well.

Regards Tony
