Personally I got some good parts, challenger barrel, 7 inch brake plate and a number of small parts. Gary also picked up some good parts as well. One of the stainless traders was there as I ordered some Ranger racks as was Stainless Hogan who does bolts etc. True there were not as many traders however still a lot there. Personally I don’t mind if VS and other Greeves sellers are not there as there is more opportunity to find the parts before they hoover them up.
2 rosettes awarded- One for Gary Bamford’s 25SA and one for Ian Hodges 360 Challenger.

It Is a pity that the majority,if not all [cannot see the far exhibit] of the entries where competion bikes. Surely there is enough roadster members in that area which could help to balance the display, Not intended to be a criticism, just an observation. Regards Les.

That was my 32DC at the end, Les. A point to bear in mind is that the GRA are positioned in the Competition Hall, so off-roaders are expected there. The inclusion of a roadster or 2 is good from visitors' points of view, if they are unfamiliar with the marque, as they can see the close connection between the road- and off-roaders. I do feel that hall gets missed by many visitors though. DOT, by comparison, get a very good position in the main hall.

Just going back to this, I would prefer if we were in the main hall, as the footfall is massively more than in the competition hall. The other side of that is we got a reasonable amount of space (although there were only 8 machines on the stand, so didn't need much!), whereas when we were in the main hall last year, because Covid was still biting with fewer club displays, the space we were given was a joke. The bikes were crammed in with no attempt at a tidy display possible, with overlapping handlebars meaning it was impossible to walk between the machines to have a good look at them.
Is this because of what we request, or what we are given? Other 2-stroke clubs of the period had much more central, larger areas where a proper display was possible.
