We're
hoping to organise a Pennine day out to Haworth one Sunday
over the summer holidays and ride the railway, trying out
the train bar and the station pubs along the way. Anyone
who's interested should contact Barnes'y on 07866 506521
or 01282 703718 (Don't ring whilst Corrie's on though!)

Robbed". This page can be found by linking from Bottom Box
index page and also by a permanent link on the right side
of the home page.

I'm after a
temporary loan of some specific back issues of Bottom Box
to complete the back catalogue on Bottom Box Online. If
you're a long time, or former member of this club, please
have a mooch around under your bed and see if you've got
any of the following old issues. (You can have them back,
utterly unharmed, with the utmost speed. I just want to
scan out the articles and any jokes). The missing issues
are : -
2002
onwards - 196 upwards
1987 -
92, 95 and 99
1986 -

1) The First Round of the NTL Championship has been
postponed due to problems with the MSA licenses. The
scheduled L&C event is still taking place on 18th April
2010 at Hawshaw
(Directions)
as planned but has been downgraded to a standard club
event. Having said that, anyone who wants to, is still
more than welcome to go along though. The L&C leg of the
NTL will now be held at the end of the event schedule,
most likely in August.
2)
N.C.O.R.T.C are running a CCV at Crosshills
(Directions)
on 18th April 2010. All Pennine members are
invited to attend.

The MSA, in their Infinite wisdom have changed
their requirements for licensing our Northern League
inter-club competition and it will now be a National B
event rather than just an ordinary event.
(Get us, Aren't we Posh!!).
What this means, however, for our illustrious combatants,
is that they will need to get a Non-Race Clubmans license
(On the Cross Country Section of the Application Form, at
£23)
to compete in the Northern League Inter-club competition.
If you're only doing the one hosted by your own club then
you don't need to bother though!!
An application form can be downloaded at
http://www.msauk.org/uploadedfiles/msa_forms/
2010_Initial_Application_Form.pdf
Or you can
apply online at

We all
know that Bronco Tyres went to the wall last year making
Grizzly Claw's and Diamond Back's hard to find. Well, I've
found someone still selling Grizzly's at £81 each (big
thanks to LRM!). You can click this link and go to the
link below and buy them online!

Phil Rigg's
bought Linol's Custom built Class 4 trialler. (God knows
what that cost him, it was 7K to build!!). Phil's field
will be getting a might cluttered now, there's at least
four motors in there that I know of!. Time to liquidate
some assets methinks. |

The day of our
Hawshaw event is exactly 28 years to the day since Keith
Normington (108) set off for a Pennine event only to roll
his road motor on Widdop Road after skidding on ice
without
ever getting to turn a wheel in anger.
(Still, at
least it gives you chance to check your chassis for holes
without getting mucky scrabbling around on the floor!!) |
