a)
Whitehaven – Terry Maxwell
10th Anniversary Barbeque: -
The barbeque was a success much to the surprise of the local committee with around 20 people turning up. We made about £80 profit for MAG funds. We had a few problems i.e. the Band cancelled at 7.00pm on the Thursday night but thanks to Archie, a friend of Raj, we were able to entertain the diners with a Disco (for a bottle of wine!!). As promised the weather was excellent check out the website for a fuller report.
Bank Holiday Ride Out.
Well yet again the weather for the Ride Out was scorching and with 20+ riders turning up at Egremont we were in for another good day. We headed north to Wigton across to Penrith down the A6 to Kendal and across to Hawes for lunch before heading back by Ingleton and along the A65 to eventually take the south lakes route home.
Stopping at the Broughton Café it surprised me how many folk don’t venture further than Keswick on their bikes! Everyone enjoyed the day and looked forward to the next one. This seems a prime area for recruiting new members as other clubs don’t seem to be doing these types of events, we even may consider an overnight run for next year…
Cumbria MAG Rally Venue.
No I haven’t given up I’m still looking for a suitable venue, the old Brainz Trust site has been suggested so it could be one to follow up also Ross from Workington has suggested an airfield at Kirkbride so I will be checking these out.
