A wee update from big club nicht for oany interested parties that may be reading.

KELSO Weekend:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO No news is available from the Club Big meeting, as Yer Gaz wasn't in attendance. OO As yet, no one has phoned with an update - an' ah'll be a monkey's uncle if anyone thinks ah'm gonnae chase the blether.OIt comes here of it's own accord, or not at all... so, nah nah ne nah nah !

Knockhill Trackday: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO One thing a can tell ye all; is the July Trackday is cancelled (probably). We or at least five off interested parties are first on the reserve/cancellation list. So places may yet be avail' but Yer Gaz thinks that it'll likely be too late in the day to secure the bodies and bikes to get up there; not to mention the spectators that wanted to come along. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So other dates are now being considered: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FridayOOOOOO August OOO22nd 6 - 8pm OOOO Cost: £45 OOOOO SaturdayOOOiiiiiSeptemberOiii6thii9 -i12pmooooiiiiCost: £55

Tonight - Monday 7th July is yer monthly big meeting.

We need to know who is going and when on the KELSO WEEKEND - an email has been sent round all members who shared an e-mail contact. Raymie will be needing a hand to put up the new Gazeebo on the friday at Kelso.

Also on the agenda, will be tellin' ye all aboot oor spankin' new Gazeebo. Apparently ah' telt it's the dogs so it is - Raymie said it wiz a 2 for 1 offer he couldnae resist - he'll explain. He's also been tellin' me about a flagpole an' a skull an' crossbones !

Other stuff will be the upcomin trackday: By tommorow nicht Yer Gaz will ah'm told have found out if there are any places left to be booked: rumour is there'll be nane ! We'll find oot, oan the nicht, eh. Reason a think ther' willnae be oany, is down tae me hearin' Yer Gaz weengin' an' sayin' things like "But ye's said to wait till nearer the time...." - as if that's oany excuse !

Oan top o' the above is findin' names willin' to do some rideoouts - there is still four dates wae no nominated run leader or 'where to' !?

15th June Update

Below is a mixture of feedback from the last big meeting: plus addded updates on happenings since and for this Monday nights upcoming meeting - 16th June.

Away Wahay 3 (Jun 20th -22nd):
Can all who are 'Away Wahaying' please be at Monday's meeting, please. Yer man will have the maps of the full route available plus associated info' on fuel stops, rests, scenic stops etc.

NB: Those going will be leaving at a definite 9.30am on Friday morning. So, please be there for 9.00am sharp.... peeps going are as follows.

Gaz iiiiiiii: the - Naturist
Mick ooi: the - Twinloon
Johniiiioi: the - Codger
Alan oiiii: the - Tall
Stevie ii: the - Ah'm back kid
Ross iiiiii: the - Amiable
Raymiex: the - ??????
Stuartoi: the - A cannae go noo (Ach ! ye'll be missed)

Ye'll see from the above that most unfortunately, Stuart cannae now go... boo hoo.

But on the updside there is mebbe now a spare place: that is unless our Ross steps into the void... havin' said that; the more the merrier. So, if anyone would still like to attend; remember ye can easy book yer ain beds..... jist call yer man here an let me know an Ross may well prefer to camp......

Mileage over the three days is around 750miles max and those going will be enjoying the finest o' Alba's bonnie roads. Going through Crieff, Blairgowrie, Braemar, Grantown on Spey, Inverness, Tain, John o Groats, Tongue, Durness, Ullapool, Strathcarron, Invergarry, Fort William, Tyndrum an home.... whit a weekend !!!

Marquee/Gazebo:
This is needed for the Kelso weekend and is as they say; 'in hand'. Though a final decision is still being chewed on. The options being, whether to buy cheap an cheerful, at around the £75 mark and replace nigh on every year; or spend some bucks around £300 and purchase a quality unit - yer man here, tends towards the latter, by the way. We'll keep ye posted.

Track Day:
Yer Gaz has made no moves on this - too busy - but will upon return from Away Wahay. Names are still as below - scroll down to earlier news if ye want to check who is going etc.

Mag / Bimmff (BMF):
There has been no progress to date on our joining either the MAG or the BMF. As far as yer writer is aware, there has not as yet, been an actual committee meeting that would enable a decision on this, or even clarity on the other matters above. Thing is, watch this space - it may happen one day !?

Recent Runs and the NW200:
See reports now added under Events.

Bikesafe: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The requested Bikesafe presentation for a club night, will not be happenning this year. Feedback from the 'Boys in Blue' on their bikes, is that they are completely booked out. However RBMCC are now marked in for a presentation next year and then following this, some assessed rides - these will be drawn from a hat as they are costly and time consuming and hence only limited spaces are available.

Tha tha... tha, tha, ...that's all folks....

Yer Gaz
