OK guys, we’ve had to change the venue for the AGM. It’s now being held this Sunday at the Liberal Club in Bideford, High Street – see map here for directions. We are aiming to start at 18:15, but the doors will be open from 18:00 – would be really good to see as many members as possible, it’s your chance to help shape how the club will move forward in 2015 and to vote in a new committee. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Saturdays are back! – 2:00 til 4:00 @ Pollyfields
OK riders, winters nearly over and spring has almost sprung and unbelievably the 2014 season is coming up fast… So weather permitting, Saturdays are back, with structured track training and coaching including the usual mix of excellent targeted coaching and loads of gate practice. Where possible training will be broken down into age or ability groups so that the riders get the best out of the sessions.
