SUMMARY:CANCELLED : Club Night - AGM And Two Speakers
DESCRIPTION:Sorry\, but due to COVID\, we’ve had to suddenly cancel this meeting at short notice.\nOur AGM will now take place on Wednesday 13th October. \n\nPlease note: the meeting will start promptly at 7pm;  get there earlier to order a drink etc…\n\nFrom 7pm to approx 7:45 we will be holding our Annual General Meeting (AGM)\, our first in two years so please come along.  This is your chance to tell your Committee what we’re doing right and what needs improving\, anything goes really (too many runs\, too few runs\, too many emails\, etc etc).  It is also an opportunity for you to vote on the received nominations for next year’s Committee.  Even better\, please consider standing for one of the Committee positions\, we’d love to have new and/or younger members on the Committee (all positions are up for grabs!).  If being on the Committee is not for you\, how about organising a run instead?  We’ve identified a couple of runs in our proposed 2022 calendar that would make good runs for a newbie to organise and you’ll get plenty of help from our existing pool of run organisers.  We’d like your help!  Take a look at the Nomination form here…and then fill it in and return to secretary@dorsetvmcc.co.uk by the close of business on Monday 4th October.  (if you don’t like forms\, just email your nominations or offers of help)\n.\nIf you would like something added to the AGM Agenda\, please let me know by emailing  secretary@dorsetvmcc.co.uk by the close of business on Monday 4th October and indicate whether you’ll be there in person on the night.\n.\nFrom 7:45pm to 8:00pm we have a break for drinks\, pizza slices and bathroom visits.\n.\nFrom 8:00pm to approx 9:30pm\, Mike Larcombe (our Area Representative) and Steve Allen (Vice Chairman and son of Titch Allen) will talk about their respective views of where the VMCC is today and their vision for the future.  There will be a Question and Answer session that will be chaired by our Section Chairman\, Paul Miles. If you already have question(s) that you’d like to put to either Mike or Steve\,  please email them before the meeting to secretary@dorsetvmcc.co.uk and Paul Miles will collate similar questions.

SUMMARY:Northern Run
DESCRIPTION:Bernard’s organised a 60-70 mile run going deep into north Somerset …it is the Northern Run after all. \nThe half way point is Hunters Lodge at Priddy.  I’ve heard all sorts of good things about this pub\, all along the same lines as this taken from a Trip Advisor review: “There aren’t many pubs like this left now.

SUMMARY:Chairman's Challenge Run
DESCRIPTION:Our Chairman would like you to join him for his fun summer challenge! \nUnlike a usual route sheet\, this is reliant on your ability to spot road signs and distances have been left deliberately vague so you’ll need to pay attention and not just follow the bike in front! \nNot overlong (less than 50 miles)\, it is ideal for riding two-up with a spotter on the pillion and perfect for lower-powered machines too. The run starts at Thorngrove Garden centre on Sunday 4th July\, at 11.00am and he’d be delighted if you would care to come along and take part.  Note\, pre-booking is not required but you will be asked to sign-on in the normal way (after reading and agreeing to the Rider and Ride Fact sheet)\, so get there by 10:30am).  There is no charge for this run. \nAs an extra incentive\, the overall distance was recorded on the bike used to test the route. If you make a note of your distance and it exactly matches his\, he will buy you a slice of cake! You’ll need to use either a route roller or a way of attaching the route sheet to your tank\, bring your own rubber bands or tape; trip meters and satnavs won’t help you here!

SUMMARY:Informal Bluebell Run
DESCRIPTION:Updated on 12th April 2021 : Only 1 place left \nOur annual Bluebell Run is in two weeks time on Sunday 25th April. So far\, no sign of bluebells…😢 \nThis will be another one of these informal “Rule of 6” runs where we have 5 groups with 6 riders in each group. Each group will have a leader who is responsible for the route\, including the start and end points and coffee stops. The groups will not meet each other; they are independent from one another. \nThe five start locations are below; it is expected the routes will be approx 45-55 miles in length. We will try to find a coffee stop at some point as well as locating those elusive bluebells. Note: if you end up in Ken Druce’s group\, we cannot guarantee anything: not the distance\, nor the direction and you certainly won’t see any bluebells. \n\n\n\nHenstridge\nBlandford Forum\nOkeford Fitzpaine\nShaftesbury\nSparkford\n\n\n\nAs in our previous informal runs\, if you want to take part\, you must pre-book your place by emailing* the Secretary (secretary@dorsetvmcc.co.uk)  and include your 1) VMCC membership number 2) preferred start location 3) backup start location and 4) phone number.

SUMMARY:Informal Blandford Run
DESCRIPTION:Update 9th April : all places now taken. \nFor obvious reasons\, sadly we cannot hold Peter Miller’s traditional Blandford Run from the Corn Exchange this year as we’re limited by the “Rule of 6” restrictions. \nHowever\, we have organised an informal version of this run.  It will consist of 5 groups with 6 riders in each group. Each group will have a leader who is responsible for the route\, including the start and end points. The groups will not meet each other; they are independent from one another. \nThe five groups / start locations are below; it is expected the routes will be approx 45-55 miles in length.  And because this was meant to be the Blandford Run\, 3 of the groups will start from 3 different locations in Blandford. \n\nBlandford Forum (Phil Allen)\nBlandford Forum (Bernard Jones)\nBlandford Forum (Paul Wirdnam)\nHenstridge : Virginia Ash (Ray Dickinson)\nSparkford : Service Area on A303 (Andy Grew)\n\nAs in our previous informal runs held last year\, if you want to take part\, you must pre-book your place by 1) emailing the Secretary (secretary@dorsetvmcc.co.uk) and include your 1) VMCC membership number 2) preferred start location 3) backup start location and 4) phone number. With only 30 places\, book soon to avoid disappointment. There is no charge for this run.
