As part of the revamp of the Hatters area at the shop - I need a few old dealership T shirts - preferably foreign - it doesn’t matter what condition they are in - it’s the artwork I need.

The brighter the better.

If any one wants to donate a T shirt - can they either bring it to the next Chapter meeting or leave it at the shop for me if they let me know it is there and I will nip and collect it.

Davina

Meet at the brewery on Lower Hillgate Stockport for 07.30pm

The tour takes about 2 hours and concludes in the Unicorn Room where the beers are sampled.

LADIES OF HARLEY CIDER RALLY

Latest News

Ladies of Harley Marshals & Nominated marker helped marshall the massive turn out for the Cider Rally. We had 35 bikes turn up at Knutsford services. Then all over the weekend we helped out down inWeston-Super-Mare.
Firstly Shona was the nominated marker.
Her job entailed keeping the pack in line & up to speed & leaving enough gap for marshalls to tuck in at the front. All weekend she was faultless & kept up with Trevor & kept the pack moving & in line. Think she might have a permanent job as marker.
Next mandy showed off her newly acquired marshalling skills which I don't think she learned on the course but I think Ratty has been teaching her how to stop traffic. She showed no fear in blocking round-a-bouts & she is still here to tell the tail. Next was me, well marshaling isn't something I do a lot, but I have learnt very quickly how
to round up stragglers & dash up & down the line.
Well ladies I thought we did great.

Ladies Of Harley Ride-Out Fishermans Retreat

Sat 12pm 6 Hatters left the dealership & as usual as soon as we put our legs over the seat it started raining as usual. It was only a drizzle so we continued to Birch Services Where we picked up 2 more riders. One was not female but he was new so we welcomed him into our little club & we were gentle with him(I think). As we were chatting at Birch the heavens opened so we had to take shelter as it was hail stoning. We had a chat amongst ourselves and decided once it stopped we would take a short cut & go straight to the fisherman's retreat at Shuttleworth(by the way this was plan B). We set off & came off the M66 @ Heywood traveled through the centre @ diverted up Ashworth Valley over the tops past the reservoir & came out just near Old Betts pub. The road was very narrow &
bumpy but we all came through(Basic skills Training was covered all on one road).
We continued along Edenfield/Rochdale Rd passed the windmills & onto A56. A few miles down on the left is a very narrow track to the Fisherman's Retreat this is where we did the advanced Skills Training as there had been some renovating of the site & the road was muddy wet, up & down but everybody got through. At least the parking was hard
standing. We all stripped off as we were quite cold & we plonked
ourselves down on the nearest table.
We all ordered food which was very nice but a bit pricey. There was a group of about 20ish eating a hog roast it looked delicious. We all sat around having a chin wag & chomping. We decided just to stay in the pub as the weather was not nice enough to do the rest of the ride. I will save it for another day.

Thanks to Trev & Keith for looking after us & thanks to the ladies & our new members who joined us.

See You All Next Time

Ladies Point of View

Ladies I talked myself out of joining the ride on sunday at least 15 times. Excuses ranging from the lousy weather to lack of supportive husband! I had to kick start myself in to action and get to the Dealership. Once there, I had lots of people to chat to and I soon forgot group riding insecurities.Thanks to Trev and Keith (for some of it) for support and Helen who lead the way. The road going to the Fishermans Retreat was muddy due to the car park renovation, which was made all the more treacherous by the rain fall. The 'nice ride on lovely country lanes' turned into a bit of an 'enduro day'. It was a good test of the old 'riding skills'. Luckily, we all arrived safe and well and had a lovely lunch.The weather was not good for most of the day, but it didn't matter. I had a great time. Thank you for all of the hard work and planning you all put into it. I can't wait for the next one. What a FAB day.

Meeting at the dealership on Wednesday morning saw a great turn out of 20 bikes to support the Amazon ride, leaving the dealership around 11.30am lead by Keith & Meg. Making our way up the M60 – M57 then over the tops at a leisurely pace due to being stuck behind a couple of large wagons before arriving in Holmfirth and parking on the out skirts .We waited in the car park for the Amazon riders to arrive with the riders arriving around 1 .00pm and rode right passed where we were parked and into the next car park up the road! Where they had lunch before moving on. We then joined the Amazon ride in the Co- Op car park were we went through the route back to the dealership ,because of the large number of bikes now crammed into the car park it took a while to get them all out and on to the main road . Heading back over the tops once again where the view of all those bike heading down the hills on the twisting roads made a fantastic site especially the Amazon riders at the front with all the matching Harley Jackets it looked like a Harley Davidson advert ! .
Making our way back to the dealership were loads of people had turned up to greet the riders and even a film crew from channel M , were the riders we treated to a fantastic spread of sandwiches and cakes made by lany with of course tea and coffee. After a couple of hours of eating, drinking chatting and giving interviews the riders were ready to leave ,so around 5.00pm with Keith & Meg leading and few hatters to support them we headed towards marple and on towards Buxton .
With a shortage of marshals to assist in the rush hour traffic getting the group out at a busy junctions and the like it was never going to easy but with the help of Ian who did a brilliant job of helping out we managed despite the heavy traffic . Having only one real mishap along the way when for some unknown reason two of the Amazon riders turned left instead of right, we had to stop the group while Keith & Meg went of in search of the missing riders, then all of sudden they returned again all we had to do now was find Keith thankfully he was still within radio range so quick call soon got him and everyone back together. From here on it all went smoothly and we got them through Buxton leaving them to continue there journey on there own ,we said our good byes and whished them luck and made our way home . It was great ride out and in a good cause as well, we were pleased to have had the opportunity to ride along side such a courageous group of women. Thanks to all that attended and those who helped out.

8 bikes and 14 hatters with two of those being new members Len & Lenis left the dealership at 6.00pm led by Keith & Meg. Heading over the snake pass to Derwent valley and stopping at ladybower reservoir for the picnic, sadly we were attacked by a swam of man eating midges and had to eventually make a hasty retreat.
Returning via the snake pass and making our back to Stockport arriving at around 9,00pm,it was a great little ride out which everyone enjoyed thanks to Keith Meg for organising and taking us there and back .

Over 20 bikes followed Cheryl from the dealership to Congleton market to put their bikes on display to help Cheryl get some publicity for the market. The local press turned up to take a group photo of us sat on the bikes, with the hatters enjoying the brilliant weather sitting around chatting. After much searching of the local shops the hatters finally tracked down the ice cream shop, in a card shop of all places. You can’t hide ice cream from the hatters for long - we will find it! After a few hours at the market we headed on to Cheryl and Dave’s unit for a BBQ and what a BBQ, they really did us proud. It was a fantastic spread with enough food to feed a small army, with fresh strawberrys, sweets, drinks to follow we wanted for nothing and the hatters got stuck into what they do best, enjoying themselves. It was a great day out and all the hatters who attended agreed and say a big thank you Cheryl and Steve for their hospitality.

20 Hatters met at the Trafford Centre and thoroughly enjoyed the film, 'Wild Hogs.' We really recommend that people go and see it, well worth a trip.

A group of middle-aged friends decide to rev up their routine suburban lives with a freewheeling motorcycle trip. Taking a long dreamed-of breather from their stressful jobs and family responsibilities, they can't wait to feel the freedom of the open road.
