Glos MAG Hogs the Bridge
So, from Gloucester MAG we have
Den, Phil, me (flip-lid behind Phil's
right shoulder), Les (blue lid behind
Phil's left shoulder) and Deb (red hat
under Phil's waving hand - leaning out
of the sidecar taking photos). I hope you
can all make out the "MAG Members
Welcome" sticker on Den's screen.
I'm sure some people must be sick that none of us were on Harleys.
Regards Steve (Glos MAG)
Mid-Wilts MAG
Mid Wilts MAG will be holding a Pet food run and Party on the 1st December at the Lysley Arms.Bristol MAG
Bristol MAG held their annual Not so so Soup Run on the 14th of October. About 40 odd bikes took part, gathering at The Burrington Coomb Inn for breakfast before the run down to Bristol and the Julian Trusts night shelter.
A slight detour had to be made to the original route due to the Cumberland Bridge being swung open for engineering work.
Along with all the Food, Toiletries and
Blankets a collection raised £158.
Julie Grffiths of the Trust thanked MAG for its support of the Trust, and Andy Derrett spoke on behalf of MAG, pointing out how easy for some bad luck to put any of us out on the street and in need of shelters such as the Julian Trust.
Bristol MAG are hosting a quiz night against Weston MAG at The Mayors Arms on the 22 November.
Rolf
Rolf, of Bristol MAG, left Bristol with his Family for the wilds of Lancashire on 24th October and had a bit of a farewell at the Mayors Arms the Saturday before.Rolf is well known for his act of heroism when, seeing, a bike being stolen, he stepped out to try and stop the thieves, a gesture for which he suffered devastating injuries which will plague him for the rest of his life.
However, what Rolf might not be as well known for is that he held several local committee posts over the years helping the Group.
Good luck, Rolf. Keep in touch mate and see you at the Bike Show. AG
AGC
MAG UK will be holding their AGC on the 26th April 2008 in Bromsgrove.Weston & North Somerset MAG
For once the weather was kind to Weston MAG for the annual Beach Races, although the Saturday was as usual a quiet day, the Sunday however was extremely busy, to the point where we were forced reluctantly to close the Secure Bike Park.
The Troll even had a swank new home
for the weekend in the form of an arctic’
trailer, so there was plenty of room for
all those Helmets
We even helped to reunite one customer with a lost set of keys with the help of the Organisers and the Police, otherwise he was facing a return trip to London to get the spare keys.
The one disappointment of the weekend was the lack of volunteers to help out, but, for those who did a really great big Thanks to all of you. The Troll.
Motorists get turned on
Motorists in County Mayo, Ireland are being encouraged to get ‘turned on’ this month. Mayo County Council organised ‘Daylighted’ Day on 25 October to encourage its employees to use dipped headlights during the day. A recorded message at a major car park reminded motorists to make sure they have their dipped headlights and seatbelts on.Noel Gibbons, RSO, said: "I hope these safety initiatives will encourage road users to get ‘turned on’ and automatically switch on their dipped headlights before setting off. Seeing and being seen are basic safety principles for all road users. But many motorists don’t consider it important to have their lights on during the day and mistakenly believe that they are clearly visible to pedestrians and other motorists"
