Rotary Owners' Club

Wayne,
There is no way you should be doing all this on your own.
You do quite enough for the club ..... let's see if someone else steps forward?
David

The ROC has been invited to exhibit at this show.

Is there any member who would be willing to act as the club's liaison officer, co-ordinating entries, organising the stand etc?

Obviously, it should be one who intends to be at the show!!!

David

It's also on the MCN website.

I hope to use it for the next newsletter........

David

Phil Blake is inviting rotary owners to the NSU Ro80 50th Anniversary meeting he is organising in Suffolk on 5 & 6 August 2017.

Full details in the next newsletter. Keep the dates free.

Graham, there may be merit in Tim's idea .... can it be done?

I wonder if we could lose the Norton Rotary Enthusiasts' Club piece, given that the NREC folded many years ago and its members absorbed into the ROC?

Taking a leaf from the RE5 Discussion group's book, it's probably time we conducted a clean-up of forum users; some have never posted a single item or contributed in any way ... Others may well have passed on, or lost interest in rotaries - and so no longer need to be in the list of forum users. It ...

Yep Steve, you're one too!

Oh yes Paul .... you're one of the good guys .....

A reminder to all those ROC members yet to renew their subs for 2017 ..... the next newsletter your receive will be your last!!

Looking forward to hearing from the last few ....

David

I could perhaps bring the RE5

David

What's the date Paul? 2017 is a bit vague ....

David

Then you'd better join the club!!! (Winking thing goes here!)

I have a NOS genuine Suzuki oil filter, still in its box, for a RE5.

I was going to put it on eBay with a starting price of £20 - but thought I'd ask here first in case a club member wanted it?

Re-reading your original post, I see that I misread it. I assumed it was the bolts holding in the oil seal, given that was the title of your post. I am pleased that you have solved the 'mystery' ...... Please do take some photos and send me some. Many thanks! David PS/ Email address:- RotaryOC@aol.com

If you have the engine workshop manual, it would probably say whether or not a locking compound is recommended for use on the thread of these screws ... that would give the clue whether it might have been when the engine was assembled.

David

The screws you mention locate in the threads contained in the front side housing. I wonder if the gasket or seal is holding onto the threads making them a) hard to turn and b) difficult to remove? How about a pair of grips (Mole?) on the head of each bolt and pull them out, assuming you have undone ...

Sounds like the Rolls Royce 'cottage loaf' engine?

The ROC went to see it a few years ago ....

It's in an army museum in (I think) Wiltshire ...

David

Ouch Roy!

Just pleased that you seem okay.

David

Hello MikeLet me send you a membership form for the club; I probably have the info you require.CheersDavid

Then allow me to send you a membership form for the Rotary Owners' Club in the U.K.Cheers David

Where in the world are you David?I might be able to assist ....David

Hi all,I have just been sent this; I wonder if any ROC member went to the 2016 show, and whether it would be worth having a Rotary club presence in 2017?Your thoughts?David ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CA...

Hi JohnSadly the group is down to six. Ewen cannot now make it - and I'm heading for Scotland.The no. 6 man is Roger Jones from Staffs. who will either be RE5 or Norton mounted.Take lots of notes ... and photos if you may.I am hoping someone will write a piece about AIE for Rob.David

I think Andy Watts is coming from Lowestoft way on his Norton and might also try to meet up?Andy: Can you contact JB and Roy to confirm?David

Has Rob pestered you for something to go in the next club newsletter?I think you can be very proud of the result ...David

A clue in the simple DT crossword on 23/9/16 was ....An old Ethiopian king, and also a hot drink made with port ....Any ideas?The answer .....NEGUS!!!Don't say that the ROC is not educational!David

Change of plan .....AIE have been in touch and due to circumstances beyond their control, have had to delay the visit a fortnight and it will now take place on Friday 21 October.Sadly, two of the members (me included) cannot make the new date and so there are 2 spaces for any member who would like t...

I'm curious to know who the club member is who claims he is 'highly respected' .....How does he know he is?David :-)

Hi Roy,At present, we are up to our maximum of 8 bods, but you'll be on a reserve list.DavidPS/ Are you still a member of the ROC? I had it in mind you'd let your membership lapse?

AIE have suggested an arrival time of 10.00 .... And they seem to anticpate that we will stay for a few hours!We have been asked to limit the number of visitors to a maximum of 8, so if you'd like to,come - don't delay in responding.David
