Head Road Captain:Mike Keogh

Whilst acting in accordance with official advice, Lakeside Chapter still held twenty five official rides in 2020.

Having temporarily changed the way in which we reached our members this saw the start of "virtual" horse racing, "virtual"quiz nights (you get the theme here) and Bingo! that occasionally offered age-appropriate prizes.

 

Following the closure of "The Pond", otherwise known as Lakeside Harley Davidson Dealership, we became fully committed to being an independent Harley Davidson Chapter.

Never Beaten, our members also took part in our own ABC of Harley riding awards. When allowed visiting towns and cities spelling out the official list of Harley Davidson motorcycles in the range in exchange for ride chapter recognition.

With amazing support from our members, we were so pleased to be able to present our chosen charity The Aaron Lewis Foundation, with a cheque for £1,268.00.
