FEBRUARY NEWS LETTER
A talk by Neil Gardner from Devon Freewheelers and a bring and buy sale
on the same night and both a roaring success, what you would call a good
club night by any standards.
Neil gave us a talk on the brilliant work that DFW doe’s for the NHS free of
charge, including why and how the charity started and how it has progressed
over the short time it has been going.
After the talk members fired questions at Neil, one of the hardest things for
not just members to understand but any one, was why is the service not
funded? it has to rely on donations from the general public and organisations
that are willing to collect and donate money to DFW.
After the talk and questions a collection tin was passed around and a total of
£56.97 was raised, for the number of members there that night that was a
good sum. Neil sent a message to the club thanking every one for the
donation.
Thanks to Neil and DFW for taking the time to come to the club and give us
a talk.
The bring and buy sale was a great success as well, four big tables full of
bike related gear was put out by members. Helmets, tyres, spanners, coats,
trousers, visors, magazines, boots and books were just some of the items on
offer.
Several items changed hands so needless to say several members went home
happy. Whenever the club has had a bring and buy sale it has always been a
great success so no doubt we will have more in the future.
COMING EVENTS
March
2nd there will be a talk at the club by Mark Cooper from MSC
Motorcycles on MOT’s, Mark will bring along a vintage bike with him.

of tyres and there fitment. G T’s as usual will bring a selection of bikes
for members to look at.
29th clocks go forward 1hr, and lets hope some good weather as well.
Coach Trips
The club is thinking of running a coach/minibus to different venues in the
near future, The Ace café, NEC, Haynes motor museum, Beaulieu to
name just a few.
These trips will of course depend on the price of the coach/minibus for
each trip, it also depends on whether members would be interested in
going on these trips. There is no reason why non members should not be
able to go, that would make the trip cheaper for each individual and thus
more viable.
The club would like to gauge if members would be interested in such
trips, so if you are interested and you know someone who might be
would you please let John Mac or any member of the committee know so
we can get some idea if it is worth pursuing.
Did You Know
On Monday the 8th of June 2015 the paper counter part of the driving
licence is to be phased out. The paper counter part will no longer be
issued by DVLA.
DVLA has asked that licence holders destroy the counter part you have
on or after the date above.
Your photo card licence will not be affected and will remain the same as
it was including categories on it. If you still have the old green paper
licence this will not be affected and will remain valid until the expiry
date.
By the time the paper counter part is phased out measures will be in place
for car hire company’s, employers, police ect to check directly with
DVLA whether or not you have any restrictions on your licence.
You can check out all these things for yourself by copying the link below
