The club wants to put advertising materials in dealers of the new models, so we can get more new members who ride the latest BSAs. I've talked myself into taking photos (Bill Nelson can be very persuasive) and I have a location in mind.
But I need some bikes and riders; for the bikes, a couple of 650s and a couple of 350s would be great. If some of the riders are in their 20s to 50s as well as the older riders I've mostly seen on the bikes so far, that would be great too. A mixture of male and female would be grand. You'll get digital copies of the best photos of you and your machine, from the day.
The photography would take place in the first part of next year and you'd need to be able to get to Towcester in Northants.
In real life I'm Roger Bradbury from the Beds, Bucks & Northants branch, and I write the branch reports for the Star. I also submit event reports to Old Bike Mart, the last one published being on Founders Day, in last month's OBM. But here's a couple of shots from last year's BSAOC Open Day and one from a bike night.
Hi,
Great news that this is being done. If I had one of the new ones I would ride down from North Lincs. but alas not yet.
With the amount sold there must be several out there and I assume that the invitation/request is to BSAOC members and future BSAOC members alike?
Dave.
Yes, the invitation is to all, not just present members.
Roger, I will circulate this on Social Media if that's OK with you. This forum is limited in numbers and has a limited audience at the moment. The one guy who could do a huge amount in helping you to get what you are looking for is currently unable to participate in this group but I'll liaise with him. The other benefit of promoting your involvement is potential new BSAOC members.
Okay, thanks; that'll be great.

Hi Novocastrian,
Did you have any luck on social media with this?
Cheers

Hi,
Have you had a good response to this yet?
It may be worth directly asking Branches through the Branch Secs. as most of those you are looking for could well be in the BSAOC already.
Dave.
I'm sorry but no real progress due to a conflict between the moderator of this group and the individual I had in mind to progress this.

Good idea! I'll try that.

Okay, no worries. Thanks for trying.
