Nene Valley H.O.G Chapter in the UK has been an 'orphan chapter' for many years.  In late 2023 and early 2024, a number of UK H-D franchise dealerships closed suddenly, leaving a number of H.O.G chapters orphans.  HDRC-GB do not rely on, nor do they have any links to H-D dealerships, but for many H.O.G Chapters, the dealership is the 'base' from which they operate.  

This interview with Simon Barron, Nene Valley Director ( Feb 2024) finds out a little bit on how their chapter adapted to being an orphan, including some advice on who to carry on with the seasonal ride-outs, socials and attracting new members.
