Free go for novices... Sunday 25th September.
We are thinking of having a day at the school where novices can come and have a go on a 125 for an hour at a time, free of charge. The idea being that we schedule one hour slots, and someone who has never ridden before can come and have a go without forking out for a CBT, just to see whether they like it or not. We can supply helmets and gloves, but would recommend at least jacket and jeans. Question is, to make it worthwhile, is there enough folks out there who would be interested? So that's what we're asking you all to do. If you all wouldn't mind putting the word about, and just see how many people would show an interest. Stick up any possibilities on here, and we can see if it's got legs. Thanks to you all in anticipation. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Re: Free go for novices...
Ok folks, we're going to do Sunday 25th. It'll be at Clarendon College, Frome Road, Trowbridge, BA14 0DJ. We have to limit this to anyone who is of riding age, and has a provisional licence(which you should bring with you). If you'd like to put your name down, and a preferred time, starting from 9.00am and going up to 4.00pm. So add your name to a list, and we'll come back with time slots for everyone. If you'd prefer to book a slot by phone, ring us on 01373 822399 or text us on 07528485047 or e-mail me on markable30@yahoo.co.uk

Re: Free go for novices... Sunday 25th September.
Didn't realise there was an option on this...
But seeing's got in early... how about something civilised - like 11am..?
Would I be right in assuming the training bike is something like a CG125..?

Re: Free go for novices... Sunday 25th September.
Have a friend who may be interested in this too....

Fair play to you Mark for a great idea - with all the negative proposed legislation in the pipeline, anything that encourages keeping biking alive is to be welcomed. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Thanks Ken, but I can't take all the credit. Years ago at CSM we used to do something similar. The man who came up with the idea was one Mike Loydall. He is now the guy promoting the 'Get On' campaign. All we're doing is making a day of it.
We're hoping to have a couple of displays from local dealers, and a burger van for food and drinks. So anyone wanting to pop in for a sociable chat is welcome... :)

Have you got any flyers/leaflets Mark? I reckon the apprentice school at work could be a good target audience. :)

I can sort a few brochures, but nothing advertising the free introduction. If it's a success, we'll be more organised next time... ;)
