Shout out to branches, groups and individuals who are organising Moto Guzzi rallies and camping weekends.
There will be a committee meeting in November at which 2024 calendar will be discussed. If you have dates for events please let me know and I’ll complete lie a list to try and avoid clashes with national club events.
I’m keeping in touch with people in Mandello to get confirmed dates of anything that is planned there.

Should this thread not be pinned somehow? We seem to be lacking info.
There will be a MGCGB stand including club regalia for sale.

@Somersetlemon1 - this is not an Events calendar. It is an ask for members to provide info of known events so that they might be added to the Events calendar on the Club website.
The forum does not lend itself to providing such a facility.
Well it always used to be provided here. There is a need for such as most recent Gambalunga is always likely to be out of date. The confusion as to whether or not there is a club stand at Bristol is evidence of that. Gambalunga clearly says there us no club stand this year, yet our Social secretary has just said there is. The tone of your response is pretty arrogant and unfriendly by the way and i do not appreciate it

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere on the forum.
