This is the day when Bristol Women's Voice turns City Hall from its usual business to a full-on joyous celebration. I'll be doing a short presentation of my motorcycle travels during the Women's Adventure Expo and paying tribute to the women who've inspired me. There will be music, dancing, talks, seminars, a Mayoral Question Time, self-defence classes and even some 'round the world' sewing!

I'm full of New Year excitement because I'm starting the London Globetrotters Club 2020 programme on the 4th January. There's a New Year party afterwards, too! Do come... it's open to non-members. £6 at the door.   Keen Greek Royal Enfield Owners Club members, Andreas and Christos have invited me to the National Motorcycle Museum in Athens to do a talk. It will be a very special bonus to an early winter break in Greece.
 What could be better than a combination of motorbikes, tea and cake?
On the 16th November, come and have all three! I shall be doing a presentation on my unplanned trip from India to the UK, hosted by the Curvy Riders Motorcycle Club and Ecosse Motorcycles in Dundee - November 26th, 2-5pm. The Enfield that accompanied me all the way and is still my only transport is coming too! Click here for details of the organisers.  Between Friday 11 October and Saturday 12 October 2019 (11:00 to 18:00, cost £5), my Enfield will be part of a one-on-one film performance in which participants can share a 20 minute motorcycle ride through a contemporary Australian landscape.
In The Ride, artist Cigdem Aydemir co-creates an incisive political act out of the simple, playful sharing of a motorcycle ride. For more information and to book, please follow this link.  Come and help me celebrate 70 years of the Enfield Bullet at the South of England Classic Motorcycle Show and Bikejumble in Ardingly, Sussex, on October 27th. I'll be giving a talk and the bike will there too. For more information, please click here.
 Conceived and planned by the people who bring you the quarterly Overland Magazine, the Overland Event is designed to excite, inspire and inform anyone who is planning to travel on a motorcycle, and because the event supports worthy charities it’s all for a good cause too. As always, I will be there. You can find more details on the event here.
 I won't need to clean the Enfield for this! I can't believe my Enfield will be in the Malle Mile, the 'British Inappropriate Motorcycle Race and Exhibition in Motion' on July 26-28 in London. I've been invited to present at 'The Lost Club' section.

 Between Friday 19th July and Sunday 21st July, the Royal Enfield Owners' Club will stage an international rally in celebration of the 70th Anniversary of the Royal Enfield Bullet. It is to be held at Stanford Hall, Lutterworth, Leicestershire. I'll be there with my beloved 500cc Bullet and will be on hand with copies of my book and lots of stories about our travels. I can't wait and am so proud to be part of this amazing celebration! More details can be found here.
