In light of the issues we've had in the last week, and with lots of future events coming up, we think it's time we issued some guidelines for when we're all driving in a group or convoy. Sticking to these should mean we all have an enjoyable time, and do not alienate the general public, ensuring the future for other club events.
1. It's NOT A RACE
2. Keep extra distance from the car in front
3. Pace should be dictated by the slowest car
4. Pay extra attention to 30 and 40 limits, even more so in built up areas
5. Be courteous and considerate to other road users
6. Be aware of how visible and noticeable we are together

Excellent advice mate - lets keep this club in the high regard that it has come to earn from the police and general public

Just a little reminder people, especially in the light of what happened on the July meet, to drive with all due caution and attention. This goes not only on our club events, but at all times.
Stay safe and sensible everyone!

Madenglishman's coming-together with a tree.
Not that Dan was in anyway misbehaving or driving wildly. It just goes to show how easy it is for any drive to end in disaster. When there's a load of you all driving closely together in convoy, that only increases the need for awareness.

It seems that some of you still need reminding of what constitutes acceptable behaviour whilst you are on any club events.
I have already lectured enough tonight, so I won't repeat myself too much, apart from saying that irresponsible and antisocial behaviour WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
Driving in the sort of manner witnessed tonight damages the clubs' reputation and jeopardises the future for not only events and meets, but the very existence of the club. If you cannot maintain the standards of the club, and be a responsible and supportive member of our community, then you are not welcome here, and I suggest you find other places to spend your time.
