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.

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.

Bob Hill is leading us to Squires Cafe Bar, popular meeting point for all bikers, in Newthorpe near Sherburn in Elmet. There is always food available and plenty of polished metal to look at, so no worries there. Usual meeting point at Dragon Road lorry park next to Asda in Harrogate, 7.00 pm for 7.30 pm set off.  This is officially the last evening ride as next month will be an indoor meeting so I hope you can all make it next Monday.

Best regards

Hi Folks

Sorry for the short notice, but I have a spare weekend ticket to Thruxton BSB this coming weekend.  Supplied courtesy of Bennetts Insurance with a ride in the safety car on Saturday.  I’m going whatever, but due to my brother dropping out a ticket is going spare. I’m travelling down a good distance after work on Friday, stopping over, and making a good day of it on Saturday.  I may blast back Saturday evening or stop over another night and hopefully enjoy the continuing good weather.  The offer is open to anyone in HAB so get in touch if you want a impromptu adventure.

Associates’ Induction Meeting: Saturday 4 August 2018 at 9:30am to be held at Bilton Cricket Club, Bilton Lane, Harrogate HG1 3DQ

We are holding an induction meeting for all associates preparing for their test and to welcome new associates to HAB. Observers are also welcome, particularly those with new associates.

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
