Re: Xmas Quiz 2023

It was enjoyable for me to come back to EAMG and deliver the quiz. Some statistics: We had 44 players, 5 less than last year, on 7 tables. The scoring average for rounds was about 6, which indicates that the difficulty level was about right. Joker plays were sub-optimal. Table 7 scored a perfect 10 ...

Xmas Quiz 2023

A quick reminder that the Group Night on 5th December features the annual Xmas Quiz. Starts at 7:30(ish). Same as every year, but with different questions. It should be a lively and entertaining evening suitable for friends and family.

Re: 6th June Group night Little Channels

Apparently your rubber has no rubber content. I can believe it! When I was born again over 20 years ago my first bike was a Yamaha Diversion 900 (I wanted shaft drive) fitted with Dunlop K555 tyres. Judging by the appalling roadholding they appeared to be made of Bakelite. The confounded things wer...

EAMG photo archive

For the last 20 years I have hosted a website which gives access to the photos I have taken of EAMG events at http://edmxtech.co.uk/eamg.htm. On April 13th 2023 I am switching from business to the much cheaper domestic broadband, and will lose the fixed IP address which supports this link. I shall e...

Re: Xmas meal

Yes, it will just be the usual Xmas Quiz at Little Channels on 6th December: officially starting at 19:30 but for the last 20 years it has always been closer to 20:00! The individual questions change, but the format will be the same as always, with the same rounds, personnel, and jokes. This year th...

Re: Full Member Ride 16th January

My MOT and service were booked in for 14th December. InMoto closed the day before that for 10 days of Covid isolation. My new date was 11th January. I duly took the bike in then and, as expected later that day, they phoned in to report a bunch of stuff which needed doing. That included a front tyre ...

Re: Full Member Ride 5th December

I am afraid that, despite the liver and onions, I am going to be a 'no show'. It is cold and wet here, and I feel a bit seedy. I hope you all have a good run.
