We had a successful AGM on Wednesday, and have elected the new officers and committee for the year.  We have a new President, Michael Alderton, Vice Presidents Dave O'Callaghan and Craig Crosland, Secretary Maree Malin and new Treasurer Dean Thomas.  Thanks to outgoing President Alan Manning, and outgoing Treasurer Susan Moss, and also those former committee members who did not stand for re-election, thank you for your past efforts.

As usual there was a pathetic turnout.  We have to say that the lack of support for our committee and club is very disheartening.  Out of 357 members, only 19 showed up - almost entirely existing committee members.  A wee thank you to the handful of non-committee that came along, it is much appreciated.

Oh by the way, subs expired at the end of June, so it's time to renew.  See the Membership page for an application form to download.

Great work Steve!

Just a reminder that our last trail ride for the season is coming up this Sunday 23rd May.  See the coming events for full details.

Give your bike a once over to make sure it's in tip-top shape.

We will be having a fuel stop so bring a fuel container (clearly marked with your name and phone number) if you think you'll need it.

Unfortunately we wont know the distance until after Saturday marking out, as a small part of the track is being finalised at marking out.  But expect somewhere in the region of 60-70kms.

Just a reminder - never give anyone else your prescription medication.  It is prescribed for you and you only. 

And vice-versa - never take prescription medication if it is not prescribed to you!

Remember that to participate in our trail rides, you need to wear the following gear:

Helmet
Gloves
Full length motorcycle boots (no workboots or shoes)
Long sleeves
Sturdy long trousers
Recommended: body armour, knee/elbow pads, goggles.

Please make sure you have all the right gear, or you will be turned back at the track entrance by our marshals.
