March Meeting

4/13/2015

1 Comment

 
Twenty Atlantic Canada Motor Maids from NS and NB enjoyed a three day two night getaway at Vista Ridge Cottages in Alma, New Brunswick.  The cottages, perched on a mountain overlookng the quaint town of Alma and Fundy National Park, provided majestic views and winter sports.  Despite these, many pondered the question, "OH GOD IS IT SPRING YET?!?

By the end of the weekend, minds are sharper from a variety of games, musical talent has moved to the next level after jam sessions with guitar, ukulele, bagpipes and kazoo, bodies are heavier from spectacular culinary spreads, and sister bonds are stronger.

Winter Motorcycle shows

3/31/2015

Again this year, Atlantic Canada Motor Maids had booths at the motorcycle shows in Moncton and Halifax.  In February, members from New Brunswick forged through knee to waist high snow, to share their passion for riding with others.  Thanks to Janet for organizing the ACMM booth schedule for this show.

In March, members from Nova Scotia found the clearest paths to Exhibition Park and shared their passion as they greeted new visitors and old friends at the show.  Half way through the last day, we were escorted from our booth, while the roof of the building was inspected for snow accumulation.  As a result, the show was closed down about an hour later, due to the heavy weight above us.  Another new event at the show.  Thanks to Chris for organizing the ACMM booth schedule for this show.

February Meeting

2/2/2015

Atlantic Canada Motor Maids met February 1, 2015 at the Spitfire Arms Pub  in Windsor, Nova Scotia.  The Spitfire is a cozy British style pub with a private second floor, just right for a group of women bikers trying to move on despite PMS.  With feet of snow still on the ground, warm dishes and warm wishes hit the spot.

January Meetings

Pot Luck and Gift Exchanges

Always popular at a Motor Maid get together are food and games.  That's how ACMMs celebrated in NB at Suzanne's January 18, 2015 and in NS at Chris' on January 24, 2015.  As usual, the dishes prepared by members were all Top Chef quality with more than enough to go around.  It seems we never tire of laughter and legal thievery during the gift exchange, aka Chinese Gift Exchange, White Elephant Exchange, Yankee Swap, etc.

Halifax Motorcycle Show 2014

The Halifax show went on during snow and cold weather, as did the Moncton one, but that didn't stop Atlantic Canada Motor Maids from  participating in the event at Exhibition Park.  As usual, many visitors stopped by our booth with questions and curiosity and left in amazement and excitement about what women on motorcycles are involved in this day and age.

Pictures from the show are in the photos: shows section.

A few new members have joined since the motorcycle shows and our chapter has now grown to 70+ members!

Moncton Motorcycle Show 2014

2/7/2014

As usual, the Atlantic Canada Motor Maids booth generated lots
of interest among female and male show goers and offered members a chance to break out of winter blues and dip into summer by looking at new motorcycles and accessories.  As usual, the show occurred during a snow storm, but this is the first time in our 4 years of participation that it was closed a day due to the storm. In response to Catherine's question to members who worked at our booth, here are a few responses to "What did you learn from the m/c show?"
  • That it is always a storm weekend!
  • Pearl and Janet are natural born stars!
  • Denise and Lynne can charm anyone they want too!
  • There is an after school program at Riverview Middle School where kids build bikes, AND, 2 gals were selected to go to build bikes at Sturgis
  • lots of ladies want to join us
  • we have a great group of ladies, and they all look excellent in pictures

Moncton Santa Claus Parade 2013

The Moncton Santa Claus Parade had a new float this year, Atlantic Canada Motor Maids.  Moncton area ACMM decorated the float according to the theme of the parade, Rock & Roll, and it appears they did just that during decorating and parading.  Although the weather was COLD, these ladies represented ACMM in our first ever Christmas parade and did so in admirable fashion...even a few bunny ears!  BIG THANKS to Cheryl for organizing this and to all who took part...Betty, Shirley, Pearl, Sharon, Joyce. Pictures are in the photo events section.

AC/ECN Motor Maids Rally August, 2013

Atlantic Canada and Eastern Canada Motor Maids once again rallied for a weekend of riding, shopping, eating, playing and catching up, this year at the Eagle Mountain House in Jackson, NH.  This Victorian County Inn, built in 1916, is surrounded by the White Mountains National Forest and offers all the scenery and twisties we bikers seek, starting just outside the huge wraparound Inn porch.  As tradition dictates, Miss Mingle Maid AC (Holly) and Miss Mingle Maid ECN (Wendy) were crowned during the last breakfast, and will reign for a year as examples of the true congenial spirits within each Motor Maid.  Holly and Wendy invite you to enjoy pictures from the rally by visiting the events section in the photo tab or going straight there, here.
