Monday 19th Jan 2026 saw 9 members of Gloucester HOC meet for a breakfast lunch at CTL Cirencester.  The famous all day breakfast going down a bomb!  A great place to meet, chat, eat and wonder round the museum.  As if that wasn’t enough………….the team then went onto Honda Abingdon for some to have prebooked servicing done.  Another great opportunity to wonder round yet more bikes and also the newly opened J&S.  The added bonus was the bulk of the rain stayed away till the team returned home.

Sunday 18th Jan was a very damp, cold morning that saw 9 members of Gloucester HOC meet for their first breakfast get together of the new year at Friar Tucks, Quedgeley, with not a bike in sight!  
Banter aplomb mixed with detailed discussions about events, bikes, the weather and even politics reared its ugly head!  Everyone was grateful that Alan failed to turn up, so they didn’t have to put up with the smell of kippers and Kevin struggled with his first ever full house breakfast!  Final preparations for a rideout the following day to Abingdon for a plethora of bike servicings, stopping at CTL Cirencester for an all day breakfast lunch, with everything arranged bar the weather!   2026 starts as 2025 ended, with great company and shared passions.  Ride safely everyone.  Keith

Gloucester Branch Breakfast Meet 21st December 2025

12 members of the Gloucester Branch HOC met for breakfast just before Christmas on 21st December at Friar Tucks as usual.  Inclement weather meant no ride out to follow, but the weather didn’t dampen the spirits.   Fabulous food, great camaraderie and lots of banter kept the laughs flowing for the last breakfast meet of the year.  It’s amazing to see that from nearly folding 4 years ago the Branch have around 22 regular active members.  A very happy Christmas to all members, active or not, and a very happy and prosperous new year to everyone.   See you in 2026, till then stay safe.   Keith

Gloucester HOC Branch Christmas Doo!!

Tuesday 10th December and 16 members of the Gloucester HOC Branch met for their Christmas doo.  The food, drink, atmosphere, team spirit and banter was infectious!!  It’s been a busy year for the branch with great support from its active membership.  New bikes have been popular with DCT being the order of the day.  Unfortunately one member, who shall remain anonymous……Graham… has been banished to the outer reaches of Russia for NOT purchasing a Honda! Thanks to everyone who came along and those that have supported us this year.  All the very best to everyone for Christmas and the new year!  Keith

                                                            

Gloucester Branch monthly meeting 11th November 2025

Tuesday 11th November, a very wet and stormy evening, saw 8 members of Gloucester Branch meet for their monthly meeting, at Friar Tucks Quedeley!  Unsurprisingly not a bike in site.  Meets, Christmas meal and ride outs discussed along with the usual banter over great food.  It’s good to see members meeting up for a social despite horrendous weather bringing the camaraderie of the HOC.  Keith
