Wiltshire Honda Owners Club

Once again the Wiltshire branch enjoyed another entertaining evening thank’s to the Oxford branch, ten of us ventured down the road to the Foxcombe lodge in Oxford for Ted’s quiz night, with five rounds of questions rangeing from general knowledge and history to the Titanic and royal family, the two teams we entered were well and truly tested. After several rounds of questions we had an interval, and enjoyed the buffet that had been laid on for us, after several more challenging rounds from the quizmaster, Ted, the scores were totted up, with the Wiltshire team of Glyn, Elick, Karen, Theo and Frankie coming a respectable second, winning a box of Choccies. The first place went to a team from Oxford who all recieved a medal as well as choccies which were then duly passed around for all to enjoy. All in all a great evening out with friends, thanks go to everyone from the Wiltshire branch, and to Ted and all the Oxford branch for their hospitality.

As promised this years Ride Of Respect was another fantastic and emotional day, after meeting at Coate Water Robin led 14 bikes including members of Reading Hoc and the Gosport and Fareham bikers club, down the M4 and into Hullavington for the start, after only a short coffee break and a mention for the WHOC on biker fm radio, we departed the airfield and was applauded all the way to Royal Wootton Bassett by the hundreds of people who lined the streets and filled every gateway and garden, all in all another brilliant day for the WHOC.
Once again thanks go to everyone who turned out today and to Robin and Linda for leading us.

Members and committee would like to thank Colin and Dee for taking the time to visit us.
