Attended the AGC at Bridgewater Somerset, minutes available at www.mag-uk.org
I attended the meeting along with other NW local group reps. Gave reports on MAG activities and future events. It was decided that the Shameless sign that has been doing the rounds would be raffled off at the NABD rally with profits being split 50/50 between MAG & NABD.
Once again we took the MAG stand to this event. Had a good result with a dozen or so new and renewed members and made a few quid selling second hand bike gear that had been donated.

Blackpool MAG are busy getting ready for the annual rally, the 18th year we have put this event on, always on the same weekend but for the second year running the National Chopper Club have decided to put on a rival event 8 miles down the road so we will have to see how that affects the numbers this year as last year was a disaster in money terms, hence the reason for changing from a marquee rally back to a clubhouse rally at a different venue.
Manchester MAG Rep, Jimmy Torrance, is arranging a trip out

I am still very busy trying to sort out the mess we have found ourselves in with the new website and I am trying to get myself up-to-speed with the format it has been constructed in. The NW donated £2000 to Central funds last month which has cleared the NW account out and I have closed it down as we were getting a terrible service from RBS. The NW can manage without an account for now as the main money earner, Blackpool MAG, has it’s own account and any donations from the rally will be sent directly from there. I will manage the NW accounts on a cash basis for now.
Best Regards,
Tony Cox, NW Regional Rep.
