DIAMOND JUBILEE RUN 1965 - 2025

The Diamond Anniversary Lands End Run 2025 will be long remembered as a wonderful day, enjoyed by all. From sign-on to the run home, everyone had a broad smile on their face and enjoyed a great day. Forty-five members, and guests, entered on forty-three machines, with a special welcome to the Dartmoor Section entries. All forty-five made it to the end, one way or another.

Special guests for the day were Angus George and Bob Jones, the first treasurer and secretary for the section back in 1965, Angus also took on the job of judging the awards for the day, not an easy task with the quality of the entry.

After the lunch stop at Portreath, everyone made their way to Sennen taking in the spectacular scenery and great ride offered by the North Coast Road. An excellent buffet and anniversary cake, organised by Janet Pascoe, was enjoyed by all, at The Community Hall, with Maggie Miller and Roger Brain keeping everyone refreshed with tea and coffee, while Jane and Sid Pooley kept the buffet topped up and dealt with the housekeeping.

Awards were presented by George Pengelly who, after many years serving the club, will retire from the committee at the AGM. It was very heartwarming to see George out and around after the accident a year ago. Great to see Alan MacMillan, on holiday from Scotland, who dropped in and donated some Scottish beer which was used as a hard luck award.
