Win a Free BikeWise Training Course

To help you learn how to raise your standard by getting the most out of your machine and staying safe on the roads we have lined up three training sessions with BikeWise Training

This would normally cost £150 for a full day but can be yours completely free by entering the competition and answering three questions the answers to which can be found on the BikeWise website

The winner will receive a full day of one to one tuition from an experienced police advanced motorcycle instructor with ongoing comprehensive debriefing and a certificate.

All you need to enter is a full motorcycle licence and a suitable machine in excess of 400cc.

The winners will be announced at the BikeWise event at Durham police HQ on the 27th July 2008 and their names will appear on the website.

Next Meeting - Sunday 4th May 2008

Next Meeting will be held at Black & Deckers - yes, indoor..... on Sunday 4th May, sign on 10am for a 1030 am start.

This will be our last indoor meeting as we will be going outdoor to the Carrville 'Park & Ride' after this where we can set up a decent sized track on tarmac... (I hope we have a better 'summer' than last year)

Any help would be appreciated at the end of the meeting as all the cones will need collecting in and put into vans to take back to Police HQ and then unloaded and stacked up there... ( Mick & I will still be busy at midnight if we have to do it all ourselves :-) )

Facebook members, please RSVP to the invitation to attend the event and then we know you're attending (or not) without having to ring around.

ACU licence renewals are required by some of our long standing members, please check your dates and bring forms etc with you so that we can get the renewals sorted out. If you are not licensed then you are not authorized to ride under the ACU guidelines...

1st meeting of 2008 at Warden Law

New circuit at Warden Law....
Many Thanks to the members who travelled to Warden Law on Monday night (21st April), for the first meeting on the new circuit. The management at Karting North East have kindly agreed to allow us the use of the circuit even though they could earn more by allowing Karts to use it.... They are after all a commercial venue and need to generate income to pay wages etc, so the support of club members at the circuit is vital if we are to continue to be allowed to run there..
Further meetings at Warden Law are on the following dates :

Monday 19^th of May from 4pm until 9pm

Tuesday 3^rd of June from 4pm until 9pm

Tuesday 24^th of June from 4pm until 9pm

Tom Alder prepared a short video which shows the circuit and some of our members 'in action'
