Car Meet at the Black Swan, Ockham, Surrey - Sunday 9 October 2022
The Black Swan pub will be having their monthly classic car and bike meet that we often tag along to next Sunday. As we always seem to end up in the field I'll be watching the weather this week. And being an outdoor venue it only works if it is dry on the day so I'll be checking the forecast too!
Full details are The Black Swan, Old Lane, Ockham, Surrey. KT11 1NG. Phone: 01932 862364. (Old Lane is a turning off the slip-road onto the Southbound A3 just after J10 of the M25). They open at 08.30 for breakfast, bacon rolls, tea and coffee so any time after that works fine and entry is free, although they often take voluntary charity donations.
We usually meet up at Ockham Bites (KT11 1NA) at the beginning of Old Lane around 08.00 for a coffee, bacon butty, etc. to avoid the potentially long catering queues at the Black Swan. Even if going later it's probably still worth a stop at Ockham Bites anyway.
I plan to be at Ockham Bites at 8am weather permitting.

I hope Bicester was good Nick.
We only managed three Z4s today and they were all E86s - what's wrong with the rest of the Roadster owners?
A good turnout though and the usual mix of everything from a 1931 Blower Bentley to a recent Ferrari with Beetles, VW campers, E-Types, Americana, M3s, Porsches and Astons in between.
Most of them have been there before so I only have 4 photos, and 3 of them are bikes of my era - especially for Rob (Smartbear)!

Shame it was closed.
When the H2 left I knew it was right as it sounded like a bag of spanners in a spin dryer!

Yes, they sound as though they’re eating themselves - it’s all part of their nasty image

I know, my KH500 sounded like that too but on a clear road the Allspeed spannies meant it all made sense - a bit like my MC.

Hi Mr Tidy, sorry would love to get to these events but looking after my Dad at the moment most weekends so struggling to get to many events at the moment.Mr Tidy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 10:10 pm I hope Bicester was good Nick.
