BEDFORDSHIRE BRANCH of the HOC

HOC Bedfordshire

Hi and welcome to the HOC Bedfordshire branch, I am Ian Parris the branch chairman and I have jotted down a few words to give you a flavour of what we are about.

We are a friendly bunch of bikers of all age groups who enjoy a good social scene within in the club and we meet at the Chequers pub in Streatley (Here) every Wednesday night at 8pm.

We participate in a variety of Saturday and Sunday ride outs led by club members, weekend trips both in the UK and abroad, and of course HOC rallies and events organised by various HOC branches throughout the UK.

So be assured if you pop in to meet us you will be made very welcome and encouraged to take part in the varied and full social scene as we believe new members and their fresh input is the life blood of the club.

If you want anymore information do not hesitate to come and meet us any Wednesday.

Ian Parris.

Jean Dines
