The Wiltshire Branch of Honda Owners Club(GB) hosted the first of three mid-winter social events on 25th January 2026.
An eclectic mix of around 46 Wilts, Oxford & Reading HOC members hotly contesting an inter-branch darts match. One (Colin from Oxford) even arrived on a bike!
After a number of preliminary rounds using all four of the available boards & darts scrounged / borrowed from the pub, Wilts had three members in the semi-finals (Sean Emery, playing Alan Weatherell, & Andrew Young against Oxford’s Mark Clargo).
The final found Alan versus Andrew with fair play & accurate scoring being ensured by the indomitable Erica.
Alan & Andrew approached the oche, steadied their nerves & took aim.
After a third, closely contested game, counting down from 501 & finishing on a double, Alan eventually emerged as the worthy match victor.
Immediately following the darts the pre-ordered fish & chips had been collected from the chippy across the road (thank you Sean E & ‘Jimmy’ Young) been distributed & was then tucked into in the pub.
Thank you too to Andrew Young for organising a successful social event where HOC friendships could be maintained during the traditionally quieter winter months.
