Ron
& Chris Spinks, UK. (August 2010 &
September 2009)
Ron,
a vintage motorcycle enthusiast & his wife
Chris first stayed with us in 2009 and had a
wonderful day out at the Sunbeam Owners Rally
held at the nearby Yorkshire Air Museum,
Elvington. His 1928 rebuilt model and trailer
were securely garaged during their stay.
Commenting at the time they found us to be an
"Ideal
location. Warm Welcome. Very good all round. Will
Return".
True
to their word Ron and Chris returned again this
August, 2010, to take part in the 'Sunk Island
Run' and 'The Golden Era Run' for pre 1931
machines again based at Elvington Airfield.
Ron
and Chris proud owners of their 1928 Montgomery
680cc VEE Twin motorcycle, nicknamed 'Rommel',
which was made in Coventry (like the current
owner!), pointing out the clutch cover which
started life as a non-stick saucepan bottom! It
took Ron three and a half years to restore Rommel
from an abandoned wreck. As spare parts were
completely unobtainable for this rare make it
meant a great deal of ingenuity had to be
employed hence, for example, the use of the
saucepan. Due to its rarity and condition Rommel
has won several awards at vintage club runs (two
at the 'Banbury Run' where 600 bikes take part).
Rommel is the favourite motorcycle of Ron and
Chris's small collection of vintage motorcycle
club eligible machines and is a real character!
Sigurd
& Birgit Quattelbaum, Germany. (August 2010
and September 2009)
Owner
Sigurd looks on as his Samoyed Nanuq (Eskimo 'Ice
Bear') poses. His wife Birgit coaxes Nanuq from
behind the camera 'getting him to put his best
paw forward'.
Sigurd,
Birgit and Nanuq stayed with us in 2009; it was
Nanuq's first foreign trip. They had journeyed
for over 12 hours by car from Germany through
France, by ferry to Dover and onward by road to
stay with us overnight before commencing a
touring holiday in Scotland. In August 2010 we
welcomed them back for a two night stay when they
had more time to experience York (though Nanuq
was keener on discovering our kitchen!) before
moving on again to Scotland.
Philip
Stokes & Gavin Atkins, UK. (July 2010 + many
previous Julys)
Devotees
of the world renowned Early Music Festival, held
annually in York, Philip and Gavin are regulars

Lodge is convenient for concert locations;
especially St. Margaret's Early Music Centre at
Walmgate, the Jack Lyons Hall, University of
York, as well as the many other venues in the
City centre. We have all the facilities we need
at Bull Lodge - suitable accommodation, secure
storage and free recharging facilities for my
mobility scooter" says Philip. "Easy
access to St. Nicholas Fields Nature Park, just
at the bottom of Bull Lane, enables me to walk

us" says Gavin.
