******** Head Line News *********

Chrissy has decided after four years to step down as club co-ordinator. The whole club thank Chrissy for the time and effort she (and Keith) have put in. Chrissy will still be enjoying what the club offers.

With that in mind please see the updated contact list below to see who is doing what for the club. Alan Burns will take over all emails and be a first contact but others are there to help.

We also need ideas for club rides this year so we can get out and about as a group. If you want to organise a ride let us know. If you have an idea but don't want to orangise it let us know. If you want help with your first ride let us know. We are here to help.


Research on the internet on proposed legislation from the EU is difficult but one page has been found with some information (click here)
