Well, I’m pleased to say, following a positive discussion during the October Sunday ride, and during the last committee meeting, a decision has been made to continue Sunday rides during the winter.  That’s great news for lovers of our day long rides.  Andrew Pratt has offered to lead a ride in November and Chris Armstrong in December.

Any member who fancies leading another of the winter rides, particularly someone who has not done so before is invited to do so.  Any advice required can be given.

Details of November’s Sunday ride will follow soon.

In a bid to encourage younger riders to take up the Skills For Life scheme and join our club we recently introduced a scheme to reimburse the fees paid to IAM Roadsmart by anyone joining the club and passing their test before the age of 40. I am very happy to announce that we have our first 2 members who qualify for this, Vincenco Denti and Dave Gilbert.
I would like to congratulate them on their success and also ask any member who knows anyone who would qualify for this to sign up. We have limited this scheme to the first 10 so only 8 places left.
