Welcome
Welcome to the website of Rutland Chapter of the Harley Owners Group. We are a group of Harley Davidson owners who enjoy the company of like minded friends when riding our bikes and socialising. The Harley Owners Group (H.O.G) extends the fellowship by bringing Chapters and members together right across the world.
We offer plenty of activities and events throughout the year as well as our regular monthly meetings. Come and meet us over a drink at a local friendly hostelry.
We are a friendly bunch and are always looking to welcome new members who share our passion for everything Harley and enjoying life to the full.
Rutland Chapter Rally announcement
As you will be aware, we have been wrestling with the difficult decision of whether we should go ahead with the Proud to be Rutland Rally on 9th-11th July 2021. We have been committed to working within Government guidance to organise and create events to the best of our ability and we did not want to postpone before we had a clear need to do so. Our mindset has been all along that we wanted it to happen if at all possible.
It is with a heavy heart therefore we must announce that the decision was taken last night by the whole committee that the Rally is to be postponed until 8th-10th July 2022. The new date being our usual second weekend in July.
We needed to be able to put on a 2/3-day Rally that we could guarantee would be safe and fully COVID compliant for all attending, cost viable and indeed a worthwhile event. Having discussed the requirements and working closely with the venue and local authority in recent weeks, there is not the confidence from all parties that we need, in order to achieve this. This has left us with no option but to postpone the event. We have incurred no costs to the Chapter to get us to this point.
Clearly, we have some members and indeed other Chapter members who had purchased tickets for the 2020 Rally which was also postponed, and unless you tell us otherwise, we will automatically roll this over to the new date. However, if you require a refund and let us know, we will be happy to arrange this for you. Please contact Rick Maddy on email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Having given you the bad news, now for some good news. Keep the date of 10th July 2021 in your diary. We are now planning to have a full day on the Saturday with a ride out and ‘safe’ evening event for Rutland Chapter only. So, please make sure you have a clear day and evening so we can all get together as a Chapter and celebrate the way out of Lockdown. More details will be published in due course.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all on the committee for their hard work so far in what are challenging times and their dedication to the Chapter and all the members.

Message from the Director and Committee for all members
All..
The committee, on your behalf, proposed and has unanimously agreed that membership for 2021 will now be complimentary to all members that joined/renewed and paid for their membership between 1st January 2020 & 31st December 2020.
To remain Chapter Charter compliant, on the anniversary date of each members renewal during 2021, the member will be sent by email a membership/disclaimer form to complete, sign and return, but there will be no membership fee to pay. Members will still be required to have current HOG membership.
New joiners, not an active member during 2020, will still be expected to pay the normal membership fee during 2021.
2020, was not the year we would have liked it to have been and therefore this is designed to recognize the loyalty of the club members. It also reflects the fact that we will not be incurring the usual activity expenses of, for example, the Winter Party and bowling night, which off-sets most of the cost of this one-off, one year only initiative.
The plans for 2021 will continue to progress.
See you soon.
