| NEW DSA MOTORCYCLE TEST POSTPONED! |
| Well after much to-ing and fro-ing... and being led from pillar to post and round the bend the DSA have decided to postpone the new test until March 30th 2009.
To cut a very long laborious story short the DSA decided to re-structure the test, making it a 2 part test, carrying out the first part 'off road' (primarily to keep the public safe from those who might not actually quite make the grade with the emergency stops, u-turns and figure of eights...). To do this they needed to secure a number of 'Multi-Purpose Test Centres' (MPTC) designed to enable the first part of the test to be carried out safely.
Well they didn't secure NEARLY enough of these MPTC's so in the end they had to postpone... so for now we can all carry on with the usual test - at the usual places... so if you'd like to avoid having to trek up to Burgess Hill and yonder to do the 2 past and slightly more expensive test please do call and book in your DAS or hourly training now! |

| Annual TT Toy Run.16 December |
| Hi Everyone,
An update on the forthcoming charity event. The Toy Run will be leaving the Civic Centre in Mansfield at 1pm and riding through the centre of Mansfield and into Sutton in Ashfield and ending up at the Hospital. Hot drinks are being provided by Medirest to warm us up at the end. We hope that we will see as many of you as possible to make this year bigger and better than ever!. There is a small criteria to meet on the toys in that sealed toys are ideal to prevent any infection, so colouring books, crayons,selection boxes etc would be fantastic. The two childrens wards and PASIC will be benefiting from all your efforts.Thanks to you all we will be able to bring a few more smiles this year. |

| Easter Egg Run Success-Thanks from PASIC |
| Hi Alan & Simon
It's Bea here from PASIC, the group that you donated some of your Easter Eggs to. It's been so busy in the last few weeks that I cannot remember whether I sent you a thank you note or not! If I haven't I'm so sorry and if I have this will be a bonus!
I looked at your website to see if I could find an email address and I saw your 'Latest News' page, so I thought it would be nice if I wrote a thank you for that, what do you think? Well here goes anyway!
An 'eggstra' special thank you to Alan and Simon of TT, as well as all those people that turned up at Mansfield Civic Centre on 8th April 2006 for the Easter Egg Run. Around 100 bikers took part and almost 300 eggs were donated to PASIC (Parents Association for Seriously Ill Children) www.pasic.org.uk and to Robin Hood and Blandy Wards at Kings Mill Hospital. I'm sorry I didn't get to see you all ride through town, that must have been quite a sight! I was glad to meet so many of you at Kings Mill and thank you personally.
At PASIC we support families of children diagnosed with cancer and the eggs that we received were given to children at the Easter Parties that we held for them. We had such on overwhelming response to the Easter Egg appeal that the children had at least two eggs each!!!!!! Lots of chocolately faces and fingers!!!!!
Thank you all so much for your support and generosity, without people like you we wouldn't be able to offer the support that we do to the families.
Best wishes
Bea Brunton
PASIC Coordinator

| Motorcycle Hire |
| We are pleased to announce that as of 14 September 2005 we are able to offer motorcycle hire of both 50cc and 125cc machines.
This has been undertaken in response to the large amount of requests we have received from people who have recently completed their CBT training who are unable, or do not wish, to meet the costs of buying their own bike.
We hope that this will be a useful facility to our pupils and allow them to gain the practical ongoing experience of the open road which will help prepare them for their DAS training.
Please contact Alan or Simon for further details. |
