OMCC January 2015 Periodic Part 2

Hi again! As promised, I said that I would follow up my last periodic
with an update when I had more info.

Forthcoming events:

Vines (BMW Guildford) Open Evening. 21st Jan. Cost: Free. More
details on the Forum.

ExCEL show. 13th Feb. There's transport from RAF Odiham (and return);
0730 depart; Cost: £10 to members. More details on the forum.

Bemsee Marshalling Course. 21st Feb; Brands Hatch; Transport from RAF
Odiham (and return); 0700 depart. Cost: FREE. A well-worthwhile course
to do. It's a full day, but you will end up a fully qualified race
marshal. More details on the forum.

Cadwell Park 2-day track day. 17th and 18th June. Cost: £165 which
includes free camping on the nights of the 16th and 17th Jun, 14 track
sessions, free instruction (available). The Clubhouse will be available
on the evening of the 17th for food/drink (at your own cost). BOOKING
IS OPEN ON THE WEBSITE.

We have made an important change to the booking procedure. You need to
update your Profile on the Forum as when you book in for Cadwell/an
Airfield Riding Day, you no longer get to choose your group. Your OMCC
Forum profile should include information that will enable the event
administrators to allocate you to an appropriate group. The benefits of
the new system are that it will enable us to reduce the number of people
in the wrong group (mainly Experienced riders who wait so long to book
that the only places left are in the Novice group) and better reallocate
available places from Cancellations. To that end, once the list fills
up, a reserve list will be set up. Remember to check the T&Cs before
booking, but don't delay, as the list is already half-full.

Offroad. Still some work to do for the Ofroad, so nothing definitive to
tell you yet about this year's calendar.

My next periodic will hopefully be soon, with (hopefully) confirmed
dates for the ARDs and an Offroad programme.

Cheers, Ride Safe!
