OMCC Update

Dear Member,

Offroad.  Firstly, I can confirm that the Offroad event for this Sunday at Bordon WILL GO AHEAD.  Apologies for the time it's taken to sort it, but Bob has lost more of his (reducing) hair in the process of sorting the licence out than he could afford.  To make up for it, the Offroad boys have pledged to make it up to any Mothers who can make it along…..

 

Cadwell Park Reserve List.  For those of you don't like rushing your purchases, and so missed the opportunity to book onto the Cadwell Park trackday, the reserve list will open this Saturday (14th March).  I can't give you an exact time for the list opening as the Webmaster is busy during the day with an Angelcynn Albannaich Proelium.  Anyway, he's pledged to sort it before the day is done, so keep an eye out.  The way the list will work is as follows:

 

-       Reserve places will be available to 'purchase' (on the Members-only page), albeit at no cost.

-       Those who book onto the Reserve list will appear on the Events page (in booking order).

-       Should a reserve place become available, the next lucky candidate will be sent an invoice for a place at the event.  They will have 5 days to complete the invoice; if they don't, the invoice will be cancelled and the invoice will be sent to the next Reserve list candidate.

-       Upon payment of the invoice, your name will appear on the Main list.

-       The Reserve list will close a few days before the event.

-       Good luck.

 

Member Profiles.  I mentioned in a previous periodic that we needed you to complete the details on your Member Profile, such as preferred group and number or track days, etc…  Well, there are still a large number of you who haven't; this will mean that when we compile the group lists for the April ARD and Cadwell, we will have to guess/draw straws, etc.. and there is a risk that the wrong people will be in the wrong groups, with little time to sort it out.  So, please, please, please log in and check that your details are entered in your Profile.  Thank you.

 

Finally, we are looking at dates for the Mopedathon in August; more to follow……

 

All for now….

OMCC Update

 

Dear Member,

 

Periodic update with news from the Club.

 

Firstly, some of you will have noticed that the April ARD sold out in record quick time.  We've been trialling a new booking-in system, whereby we will allocate you to a group dependant on your preference and experience.  The data for this will come from your Membership Profile.  Our WebWaster was tweeking the forms and found that they needed some slight changes.  As a result, all of the extant submitted information has been deleted.  To that end, if you see the entry list, you will note that we don't have the required data to compile the lists (This is also the case for Cadwell Park); so, please log on and check that your Membership Profile has got the info on it (if you haven't done this recently, it'll need to be done again). If you don't do this, there's a strong chance that you'll be allocated to the wrong group…..Thank you.. 

 

Secondly, we're running a Biker-Down first-aid training course at Odiham on Sunday the 22nd March.  It'll be an excellent opportunity to learn how to save a fellow biker's life, should you ever be in the unfortunate position to have to.  It'll cost you the princely sum of £2, which is just to cover tea/coffees etc…  I'm sure that anybody who has done it will agree with me that it's essential for all bikers to do this course.

 

We are in discussion with Silverstone about the MotoGp trip, with a Club trip in mind.

 

Finally, there are still some places on the Bemsee Marshalling course at Brands Hatch on the 21st Feb.  It's free to come along to be part of the Orange Army!

 

More info on the above on the forum…..see you soon!

Important OMCC Message


Dear OMCC Members,

Quick message, so please take 30 seconds to read this.

Firstly, Offroad.  Despite our best efforts, it looks like Landmarc will not be issuing a licence for the offroad event planned for this Sunday, the 8th February.  If you don't hear anything else (I'll email you again if necessary on Friday evening), you can assume that the event is CANCELLED.  We are really sorry if it messes you about, but we are doing everything we can to make it happen.

Next, if you are interested in riding in this year's No Budget Cup and have not been assessed for suitability, the first opportunity will be the first Airfield Riding Day on the 19th April.  Get in touch in advance to let us know.  As a minimum, you should (probably) be comfortable riding in the Experienced group.

Finally, the entry list for the April 19th Airfield Riding Day has been activated and is open for business…..so don't wait and risk missing out…..

All for now….
