Sunday 17th May
Visit to Haven Street Steam Railway and Classic Car Rally
Isle of Wight
Myself and Paul decided to give Libby her first run out to a car rally to try out the new roof. Having decided to go o the Haven Street Steam Gala and Classic Car Rally on Sunday 17th May we proceeded down to the docks for the 8am Ferry.
After an uneventful journey Libby arrived on the Isle of Wight and we then headed for the rally. Upon arrival we proudly parked Libby and the next vehicle to arrive was - well you guessed it !!!!
Despite the weather forecast not being good, the sun shone most of the day and it was a great little rally. Free rides on a vintage bus to the new Isle Of Wight Bus Museum at Ryde was also very interesting.

BMCC River Boat Cruise
June 2015 saw BMCC members set sail on a river boat cruise. All aboard the John Pinkerton for a glorious cruise along the Basingstoke Canal. A beautiful warm summers evening allowed everyone to have a wonderful time. Whilst the boat turned round for our return trip, members alighted and took in the sights of St John's Castle. The Castle lends it's name to King John who stayed there the night before he set off to sign the Magna Carta.
A fish & Chip supper was then enjoyed by all. Everone had a great time.
