Following our successful October club meeting attended by Mike Bevington of YAA, the club and members donated to the charity. Please find below a letter thanking all members for their generous donation: –

One of our members has asked for this petition request to be posted.

Dear Customer,

Post Brexit changes in tax and customs regulations are preventing us from transporting our customer’s motorcycles to and from the EU for recreational use.

We have started a petition to bring pressure on the UK Government to try to make an agreement with the EU allowing motorcycle owners to use the services of transport companies and individuals to transport their motorcycles to and from the EU without any demands for tax and duty.

We wondered whether you would be kind enough to sign the petition?

Thank you in advance.
