23/8/10- Bob Collier by Griff
EVERYONES FRIEND BOB COLLIER

As most of you know Bob died on August 1st after 7 months trying to fight off leukemia. I was privileged to have known Bob for over 25 years as a good friend and colleague. He was always a true club committee member and willing to help in putting on events for the club, never did he not turn up to help at any working parties and always had a smile on his face. What great times did I, and many others, have in his company, we shall all miss you mate.

5/8/10- It is with great sadness that I have to inform you all of the loss of a much loved club member. On Sunday 1st August Bob Collier lost his battle against leukaemia after picking up a chest infection. His family were at his side. There'll be a whole lot more to say about Bob, as he was very popular within the club and the motocross community at large. For now though, the funeral will take place next Wednesday 11th August at Moulton Church of St Peter & John at 3.00 pm. R.I.P.

9/7/10 EXCITING NEWS!!!

Our next event is round 6 of the SMC Championships on Sept. 12. In response to criticism of Long Buckby in the dry summer months, we have secured a brand new venue for this one. It will now take place at the classy Silverstone MX Circuit, two weeks after the ACU British Championships are held there. Entry forms are now online here. Be quick as this should be a very popular one...

18/3/10 Important marshalling news! Our next meeting is on April 18 at Long Buckby. This is the opening round of the 2010 SMC Championships. We recognise its sometimes difficult to provide a marshal, and also that some people seem to ALWAYS end up doing it. Therefore on April 18 we'll be trailing a new system whereby any rider who provides a marshal gets a £10 refund per AM or PM session. Cash refunds will be paid on the day, after the appropriate session. This will be on a first come - first served basis, and if popular will be rolled out to subsequent meetings.
