Meet first Monday of month. We will now meet at the Dyke Neuk, http://www.allpubs.co.uk/pub/9246 Meldon. The pub offers a more centralised meeting point for Newcastle and Ponteland based classic bikers and the roads leading to and from the place are famous as being some of the most enjoyable in the North East of England. There is generous parking space and the pub has plenty room to accommodate meetings with extra space for potential rock nights, talks, bike shows, etc. Meetings will stay on the first Monday of the month starting on Monday January 5th, as always food will be served @ £3 per head. Due to the more central nature of The Dyke Neuk we will not be running a 2nd monthly meeting at The Oak in the summer months although this position is entirely reviewable.
