OMCC Dec 2014 Periodic

Dear Member,

Greetings for the last periodic of the year.  Just to keep you in the loop here is the latest info from the OMCC Committee.

There will be some changes for 2015 to Membership packs.  Basically the change is that there won’t be any!  If and when you sign up for membership (please don’t do it before the 1st Jan), you’ll get an email confirming success.  If you want some OMCC stickers (see the bit below about the Club competition), they’ll be available at Club meets and events.  If you really want stuff posted to you, let the Membership Sec know.

The Committee has regrettably had to take the decision to raise prices for 2015, by (on average) £5 per event.  This could be due to (a) higher running costs or (b) Tony needing to renew his Triumph Rocket III.  Sorry, but we don’t do this very often.  Hopefully, you’ll still feel that you’re getting value for money.

Congratulations to Darryl Hodder; Blenheim Palace Clock Tower now sports its very own OMCC sticker as a result of which Darryl will receive a prize which includes free membership and free entry to all OMCC events for the year.  Keep an eye out for this competition being run again in 2015, as (I’m sure Darryl will testify) the prize is well worth the effort!

Next year’s calendar is taking shape.  The Committee is not in a position to publicise it yet, but as soon as we can, we will.  Expect Cadwell (17th/18th June) and 3 ARDs (dates tbd), plus a plethora of other goodies!  We are always looking to expand the portfolio, so if you have any good ideas, don’t be shy.

Keep an eye on the forum for events in the New Year.  This should include an offroad event at Bagshot (DIO licence willing) in early Jan but keep an eye on the forum.

We look forward to seeing you at the Club Christmas Do at the Derby Inn, North Warnborough on Sat 24th Jan 2015.  There’s a thread on the forum, so if you fancy coming along (with/without a guest), please post.  A subsidy will be provided, along with live music, and Tony has pledged to dress up as Santa!

Finally, the Officer-in-Charge, Chairman and all Members of the Committee wish you a very happy Christmas and all the very best of luck for 2015.  May all your gear changes be sweet and corners feel like they’re on rails!

OMCC Committee.
