BEAR ARMY

MANOEUVRES THE BEAR ARMY MARCHES ON

Greetings, Troopers! By the next issue I should have the location of our South and North Manoeuvres for 2016 worked out, and I am even looking at the possibility (after more than a few requests) of adding a third event for summer. It might be a bit early for that, but you never know… Meanwhile I’m introducing a bit of a bonus for troopers. Every now and then we get something interesting to review, and we’re told to keep it.

Sometimes it gets added to our stock of useful stuff, but often it duplicates something we already have or is not immediately required for any other project.

What I’m going to do is make these things available to you. Only to Troopers, of course! I’ll announce them in this column and all you need to do if you want one, is email me within a fortnight of the magazine hitting the stands. The numbers of the interested parties will go into the hat, we’ll announce the winner in a following issue and we’ll post you whatever the goodie is. Don’t expect vastly expensive items; they’ll be small but always interesting. And let’s face it, all it will cost you is an email!

This month’s goodie is a great start – the 2016 Motorcycle Adventure Travel calendar from Horizons Unlimited. It is full of wonderful images and will dress up any wall. The high-quality calendar costs $19, but for you it’s free – if your number comes out of the hat. And make no mistake about it – the images in the calendar are spectacular!
