Was out & about yesterday afternoon, shortly after 2pm. Driving round the local bypass/ringroad. Car in front of me, cars behind, all at safe and sensible speeds and distances. Approach a roundabout - nothing fancy, simple 4 entry job, no weird lans disciplines or priorities. Car in front was leaving at second exit, as was I. Traffic from left, a long stream of motorbikes of assorted flavours. 4 bikes, riders wearing orange hi-viz with 'marshal' written on the back pull out in front of the car in front of me. Car in front of me was forced to brake sharply to avoid an impact, two of the bikes then blocked both lanes of the roundabout, the other two blocked the next entry. All the traffic other than the cavalcade of bikes was then held for 5 minutes while said cavalcade passed over the roundabout. IMO, it was rude, arrogant and dangerous. I've been part of large groups of cars before and have always followed the rules of the road when doing so. Yes, you can get split up, but so be it. It's not a presidential motorcade for heavens sake, just some folk out for a ride. So, opinions on that?? I know there are plenty of bikers on here so interested to hear your views on it. I don't know if the actions of the marshals were even legal - can a member of the public block traffic like that?? Absolutely no police presence.1 point

Hi Again Folks I have confirmed the Mini Bus rides based up 15 people using the service (2 Return Trips) The first Pick -Up at the Raceway will be 7-15 pm and the first return from the pub at 10-15 pm The price based upon 15 people will ยฃ3-00 per head as per previous years! If we have less than 15 then we will need to have a "whip round" to make up ant shortfall we have to pay Peter for providing the service. Thank you all for supporting the event once again and I look forward to seeing you all on Friday! Best wishes Glutey1 point

What a great night, sun shone cars were great, had a burger and an ice cream. 10 cars made it in with me and Mark meeting at Rothwell Sports Centre and joining a convoy with a Cobra and 2 mk11 Cortinas, a 1600E and 1600GT estate, one of 8 left. We got there first and put up the flags and banners then the rest arrived. The show is great, with a varied selection of cars and a miniature railway.1 point
