Unable to attend Board
meeting on the Friday night due to family commitments but attended the Board
meeting on the Saturday morning and The NC meeting in the afternoon.
I was unable to attend due to work & family
commitments but Lembit was present and good feedback from the meeting. I
continue to work closely with this initiative and all the off-shoots from it.
Good meeting, well attended.
The Alliance party is looking at the possibility of entering candidates for
Parish Councils in the NW Region as well as local council elections where no
deposit is required but it gets the motorcycle logo on the ballet papers. The
Motorcycle Alliance Party has unique use of the Motorcycle logo in political
circles across the UK.
Keeping the National web-site
up-to-date with the news items and meeting/contact details as well as the
affiliated clubs page. Lesley Jones is well on the way to integration of member
database with new website which will leave the way clear for Gregg to finish it
off and go live.

Working closely
with the organisers of the Great North West Motorcycle Festival so that MAG

NW AGM 19th
February 2017 following the NW Fred Hill Run. I will gladly step to one side if
anyone volunteers for the position of NW Rep (flying pigs spring to mind!).

Red Rose MAG have
a planned Rock Night on 22nd April with camping at the Jesters MCC
Rally site. They are also getting some more embroidered T-shirts produced for
sale at events through the year.
·
I am now dealing
direct with the suppliers of MAG patches, badges and screen print T-shirts
which has brought the piece price down considerably. Orders are in place for
the agreed design of “Retro” merchandise in all three categories.
·
Continuing to
help produce and distribute the monthly NW Newsletter which is now also going
out to the Isle of Man and this is paying benefits with closer ties with
members on the Rock and the Moddey Dhoos MCC.
·
Two new
affiliated clubs in the NW helped (I hope) by personal contacts, presentations
and information supplied by yours truly.
·
I have secured an
invitation to the “The Criminal, Dangerous and Anti-Social Use of Motorcycles
Conference - 30th March 2017” being held at Haydock Racecourse by The National
Police Chief’s Council. I will be attending this along with Steve Bolton of
Huddersfield MAG.
