Hi All
My name is Stuart Wigmore, I have been a GRA member for a good number of years, I have a small collection of Greeves Comp Bikes and a couple of projects on the go, I live in Somerset and am involved with Somerton Classic MCC, we run 9 or 10 Classic trials a year, I have in the past discussed having a local Greeves meeting at the Bristol Classic Bike show without much support, if any one else local thinks it is a good idea, please let the forum know, just to meet up for a chat and a drink.
All for now

Welcolme to the forum Stuart, I am involved with the Cambridge Section & we are getting around 8 to 10 attending each month, not bad, considering Greeves are fairly small in number, we happen to have quite a few road bikes in Cambridgeshire which I think helps. I wish you success in getting a local group going.

New to the forum...........

The new forum is such a good idea...... I hope it doesn't go the way of FACEBOOK etc .... i.e. full of trivia! We are all too old for that sort of nonsense!! I have been a fan of Greeves since those early days of the BBC Grandstand Trophy, with Murray giving his enthusiastic commentary. At the age of 10'ish, I became an enthusiast of Greeves and this 'magical' rider called Dave Bickers. I even joined the Dave Bickers fan club, run by a lady in Ipswich {from memory}. Has any one still got the FAN CLUB green cloth badge?
I now own a 24 TES which is riden around the country lanes of Bedfordshire! I take it to the Rushden Cavalcade every year and ride around the arena {much to my wife's embarrassment!} Ah........... such simple pleasures of life.

To all Committee Members, keep up the good work.

Colin.............

Yes I think I was the only trials bike going around the race ciricuit that day. (VMCC Thousand Bikes Event} I was passed by all sorts............ but none of them looked as good as the Greeves! Biased or what!!

Would post a picture here of yours truly flat out at 40 mph, but being a simple country lad........ don't know how to!! Still struggling with my photo copier!

PS Colin ..... Apologies for not attending the AGM this year.......... family matters to attend to!
