Pearces Private Hire of Berinsfield, Oxfordshire, was established in 1970. The family-run firm has regularly invested in new coaches and has a simple but easily recognisable livery using a distinctive shade of yellow and brown. In early 2025 the operator was acquired by Go-Ahead who already own Oxford Bus and more recently Pulham's Travel.
In May 2025, shortly after the takeover, a pair of Temsa HD13 C57FLT coaches arrived (OU25 & OX25BUS - initially as YJ25CSO/U). In late May, the opportunity was taken to take OX25BUS for a mini photoshoot in and around Oxford.
Pearce, Arizona is a mining ghost town named for Cornishman James Pearce, miner and cattleman, who discovered gold nearby at what became the Commonwealth Mine in 1894. The Pearce Post Office was established on March 6, 1896. The railroad station opened in 1903. By 1919, Pearce had a population of 1,500. The town declined in the 1930s, and became almost a ghost in the late 1940s, when the mine closed for the last time.
The Commonwealth Mine became one of Arizona's major silver producers. Over 1,000,000 tons of ore were produced from 1895 to 1942. There are about 20 miles of underground workings. The mine produced about $8 million worth of silver and $2.5 million in gold at a time when silver was priced around 50 cents an ounce, and gold was $20 an ounce.

Washington County is a very rugged, rough land and the early pioneers had to carve out roads by hand and couldn't just cut through hills as the builders of the highways of today do. Most roads followed the contours of the land, going around the hills and through the natural cuts and valleys even though it often wasn't the most direct route. In the pioneer days one of the main roads in the county was the Warner Valley Gap Road. Its route went through Fort Pearce, up the Hurricane Fault via a steep dugway, and then on to Pipe Spring, Moccasin Springs, Kanab, and Long Valley. One hundred years before the pioneers used this route Father Escalante, Father Dominguez and their party camped at the site of the future Fort Pearce spending the night and making use of the water there.
Fort Pearce was built along this thoroughfare about twelve miles southeast of St. George near the Arizona border near the base of the Hurricane cliffs. The fort was used for just four years but portions of its rock walls can still be seen today. John D.L. Pearce was the captain of a cavalry troop that were charged to protect the new settlements and livestock from Indian raids during the Blackhawk War. He built the fort at the site of a spring and wash (both of which now bear his name.) At one point in 1865 it was reported that 20 to 30 men were guarding there. For many years after this the abandoned Fort Pearce was a watering place for travelers and their stock.
Historian Karl Larsen described the fort saying: "The fort was constructed as a rectangle, its length being well over thirty feet on the inside. One small window faces west, the door to the structure apparently being on the east side. There are two rooms, the one on the north being considerably the larger, while the remains of a crude fireplace are still to be seen in the south wall. Since there was no roof on the structure, about the most charitable thing one might say of the fort is that it served well as a wind-break. At the northwest and southeast corners flankers were built which communicated with the interior of the fort. Each flanker has four portholes at levels convenient for defense, one facing each direction, so that the approaches to the fort from any angle could be covered by the defenders. Additional portholes were placed in the main rectangle. The flankers are rectangular in shape with inside dimensions of about four by seven feet." -CBA

Queens Birthday Weekend saw Pioneer Motorcycle Club run the 76th edition of the Kaikoura 3 Day trial. The Club was rewarded with a large entry of 93 riders from across New Zealand including 5 Sidechairs, 9 Twin Shocks, 9 Women, and 8 Junior riders. Day 1 was at Birches Road south of Kaikoura featuring creek sections, grassy sections and mud. Considering it is June the weather was warm with no frost. A frost did greet us for Day 2 at Dairy Flat reached after travelling a short distance along the Inland Road. Easier sections on the second day combined with a longer loop saw many happy faces. Day 3 was again fine with no frost for the last day at Mt Fyffe. For the upper grades the creek sections were the most challenging day. It was great to have three fine and warm days for Kaikoura after having some rain on the last day last year. Prize giving was held at the Whaler in Kaikoura before everyone departed for home. Overall winner of Expert was Jason Baker with a well deserved win. Thanks to everyone who travelled to the event. The Club has had some great feedback, and looks forward to hosting you all again next year. Enjoy Lynette's photos.
