Reading MAG Bike Show,
12.04.09
Reading Branch was invited to take part in the Reading MAG
Bike Show at Reading Abbey Rugby Club on Easter Sunday, 12th April. The
build up of trade stands for the show began on the Saturday afternoon and Chris,
Marion, Bob and Jayne met up to erect our gazebo in readiness of the next day.
There was a little drizzle in the air but we soon had the gazebo up and the HOC
stand began to take shape. We set up our tents in the gazebo as well which
offered us additional protection from the elements. Once finished we
retired to the rugby club bar for some food and light refreshment.
We awoke on the Sunday morning to find the weather damp
and misty which ultimately would lead to a reduction in visitor numbers.
Marion and I had breakfast in the rugby club while Bob and Jayne fired up the
Pan and ventured into Reading for eats. The regalia was set up just as the
first visitors began to arrive. Other trade stands included Hein Gericke,
manned by HOC member Alan, a Harley accessory dealer, The Triumph Owners Club,
Ultraseal, a Tattoo Artist, a Sunglasses dealer, a Fantasy Figure supplier, MAG
and the Christian Motorcyclists Association.
The weather did improve slightly through the day and we
had a fair number of visits to the stand. Many hadn't heard of the HOC and
took away membership forms and details of our branch meetings so we're hoping to
see some new faces at the Swan soon. We also sold some HOC regalia during
the day which was good. It was also nice to see some branch members,
Bryan, Roger and Krys, join us on the stand during the day. The bike show
attracted quite a few entrants and there was some nice machinery on display.
Thanks to Bob, Jayne and Marion for giving up their time
and manning the stand.
