08/7/2012 What a fantastic Show
Atlong last the sun shone on the Fylde Coast for the 5th Blackpool Bike Show The show, now in it’s 6th year, took on a slightly different approach this year by charging all a couple of quid to park up in the picturesque Italian Gardens at Stanley Park, instead of just charging those who wanted to enter their bikes & trikes into the show. We also moved away from buying in the trophies and instead had them created by our very own Grobo. The outcome of these changes resulted in a gross profit just short of £350 which when combined with the small amount raised at Blackpool MAG Rally meant we could donate a cheque for £400 to this year’s chosen charity, the National Association for Bikers with a Disability, bringing freedom and independence to those who appreciate it more than most. Humongous thanks to those who displayed their machines and also to the hardworking MAG marshals who ran the event.

Southbound was handled by Greater Manchester Police and reports of how it was handled were not so complimentary, but all in all it was a very successful day

MAG Stall attracts the crowds at the Manchester National Bike Show
After no show in 2011, the Manchester National Bike Show was once again back at the Manchester Central (formerly G-Mex) Exhibition Centre.

The presence of TT legend Guy Martin attracted many to the show, who was signing autographs and being his normal jovial self. The MAG stand was one of the main attractions
as it hosted the latest creation of MAG member Grobo, his superbly
crafted Sprinter Chop. The bike and slogan, 'Enjoy while you
can, Europe wants to ban' stimulated lively discussion and plenty of new and renewed memberships were taken over the two day event. Many thanks to all who helped out at the show, which was Mag-tastic once again!

I hope you all had a pleasant festive season and look forward to working with you during 2012.
