Lands End Run 2 June 2024

34 participants took part in this years event with machines of various marques including sidecars, judging took place by Martin Chapman of Brea Motorcycles, lunch stop was at Portreath and finished at Sennen where the presentation was made.

High spirits were soon made sombre when news filtered through that one of our members was involved in an serious incident at Chiverton cross on the way to the event starting point, another member was also involved in a separate serious incident at Cambrose after leaving Bodmin & Wenford Railway. Our thoughts go out to them and their families.

THE LATE STAN WESTON'S VELOCETTE COMES HOME

"The good news for the Cornwall Section was the return of the late Stan Weston's Velocette to the County for the use of Cornwall Section members. I understand that following our South West rep intervention, and other directors it was agreed not to sell the vehicle in a forthcoming auction but to return it to Cornwall. Clive and Roger collected the vehicle from the Auctioneers and after a small amount of preparation it was ridden by John Glossop in Basil Stockers Coast to Coast Run on the 23rd September. A triumph for common sense and the wishes of his family who are delighted.
