The Diesel Award
| Date | Awarded To:- | Outstanding Achievement |
| May 2012 | Iain Richards | Iain should have received this award last month, but he went AWOL. He thought we'd forgotten, but guess what ! For those who don't know, Iain left his disc lock in place on his front wheel and tried to ride off, fag in mouth. The wheel made almost one complete revolution before stopping abruptly, catapulting him to the tarmac |
| March 2012 | John Stevens | This month I was given the award for doing my job as Web Master, for which I am grateful. It is pleasing to know the site is appreciated. |
| February 2012 | Phil Amps | For managing to break his toe whilst swimming, as it snowed at Centre Parcs. |
| January 2012 | Bob (Badger) Dawson | Bob's outstanding achievement was to wear out his wrist prematurely. |
| December 2011 | Ed Luck | With a touch of irony, Ed's nickname is Speedy. Ed earned this award for surprising us all by getting a Speeding Ticket. The amazing thing was, he was in the middle of the pack and none of the surrounding riders were nicked ! |
| October 2011 | Ian Charlesworth | Ian is a worthy winner of this month's award for laying on another fantastic Vultures BBQ weekend for us. Band, BBQ, Booze, Brilliant ! |
| September 2011 | Simon (Stigg) Dickens | Having purchased copious amounts of food from a supermarket, Stigg enlisted help from fellow Vultures to carry it all back to the Rally Site. He then accepted a lift by car and waved to his 'Sherpas' as he passed. |
| August 2011 | Carl (Ghost) Whiting | Carl & Kate did the Vultures proud by representing the Centre in the Sandcastle Competition at the Scrumpies Party. They sculpted the Vulture Logo into the Western Super Mare beach. They did not win, but it was not through the lack of trying. Well done guys. |
| July 2011 | Phil (Pants) Amps | Having been apprehensive in advance of his first biking trip abroad, Phil rode like a veteran, both throughout Denmark and through some atrocious weather on our return to the UK. |
| May 2011 | Arlene Stevens | For having the battery in her alarm fob run out, leaving her unable to re-start her bike. |
| April 2011 | Barry 'Baz' Pearce | For leaving his bike parked, with the keys in situ and the ignition 'On'. This of course drained the battery completely and required time on an Optimate before a fellow Vulture could be roped in to bump start the beast. |
In tribute to the late John 'Diesel' Burrows, a fellow Vulture, friend and all round great guy, the 'Diesel Trophy' will be awarded monthy to the Vulture who has made the most outstanding achievement during the previous month.
This may be for services to the club, for a misdemeanor at a Rally, getting lost on a ride-out etc.etc. ......... you choose.
Send your nominations to Baz for consideration. The Trophy will be presented at each monthly meeting at The Horns so it is important the current holder ensures the Trophy is at the meeting for the next, proud holder's presentation.
