Just a reminder that this Monday evening is our social evening at Bilton Cricket club.

Unfortunately we have been unable to secure a speaker so this will be a general social evening with the usual excellent supper.

Hi there. Following the success of our Christmas lunch runs over the last three years, I’ve booked The Old Vicarage in Tosside as our (new) venue this December. 

Places are limited so please let me have your booking as soon as possible. 

Please email me to secure a place. A deposit of £5 per person is required – you can pay this to my account below (making sure you put your name as a reference). 

Further details will be posted nearer the time. 

Hope you can make it. 

David.

Dear All,

In order to comply with both GDPR and IAM guidelines we are required to provide our membership with the option to ‘opt out’ of Harrogate Advanced Bikes implied permission to hold and process personal data.

The link to this document is HAB GDPR Declaration

The opening paragraph of this letter describes the context of this agreement.

If you do not respond to this email by submitting the opt-out letter to the Secretary then your acceptance is implied by default.

There is also am outline of our GDPR compliance in the minutes of the last committee meeting. I have also inserted below.

• Do not hold unnecessary personal information. Example if we see a driving licence and the associate signs to say they have a current licence we do not need to record and keep the details of the licence itself.
• Any data held should be done so securely (password protected)
• Private information should only be held by the processor associated with that data and not be held or transmitted to others. (IE treasurer holds list of names for subs and whether paid or not, this list should only be a name and a tick for paid, shouldn’t hold any other information that could identify the person – DOB/Postcode etc. These would be deemed as unnecessary)
• All personal data on members is held on the IAM DTE database which we can access through a secure portal. This is compliant with GDPR.
• If we have no requirement for retention of data then it must be destroyed securely or handed back to the associate/member (IE records of riding assessment after passing test, if they contain any personal information and information on lapsed membership)

Dear All,

Please find link below to minutes from the August Committee meeting.

Harrogate Advanced Bikes Committee meeting 06-08-18

A slow riding Workshop is scheduled to take place on Sunday 30 September 2018.  The event will be held on the premises of 3D Motorcycle Training at Tockwith between 9.30 and 12.30 am.  This workshop will benefit all Club Members, Associates and Observers. Slow riding is an important skill which distinguishes advanced riders from others.  However, the skill can be lost due to lack of practice and the adoption of less effective control systems.  It is important skill to maintain.  Practice is the only way to keep the skill alive in your motorcycling toolbox so do not miss the opportunity this workshop will give. 

The Event Will: 

1.       Cover basic slow handling of Bikes starting with a talk on basic principles and common situations.

2.       There will be an open practice area for more experienced members to practice their skills and enough Observers to help with individual requirements.

3.       Those wishing to start afresh will receive “back to basics training” and coaching whilst practicing.

4.       Toilet facilities and some tea and coffee making equipment are available on site. If the adjoining Go Cart Track is in operation the Café will also be open to visitors.

5.       There will be a short, fun competition at the end of the training.

 Important information for all attending: 

3D will be conduction CBT and DAS training on their site and we will have to access the area we have been allocated by passing through their area.  Initially we will meet at the 3D office and go through as a group. Individual arriving after the start time will have to get permission to pass through the training area.  The same applies to individuals wishing to use the toilets, café and those leaving.  Please respect 3D’s wishes in this matter as it involves their health and safety policy. 

Contact

Anyone wishing to find out more or discuss the training is welcome to contact me on 07936032238.

This meeting will be an open forum to go through the IAM System and the requirements for the Advanced test. Our Local Examiner, Mark Mullins will attend the event so it will be a good opportunity to get his perspective on the standard he expects on a test, and to ask him questions.

Free tea, coffee and breakfast sandwiches will be provided.

Please confirm your attendance by email to me at bob10000@btinternet.com or text to 07936032238
