Festival of 1000 Bikes 2012 update
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 10:57 pm
Further to the information in the December club magazine, I have now been in discussion with the organisers to agree the simplest and most efficient way to organise ourselves for what promises to be another great event. 750 bikes have already entered (many by invitation), so act soon to avoid disappointment because after the end of February, any slots we haven't taken, will be offered to the general public.
So, go to the VMCC website and fill in the 2012 track session application form (using the link below) and follow the instructions regarding where to send it and how to pay. To ensure you are allocated to the club session, please enter the following wording onto the entry form under "Special Requests":- "Please enter me into the Kawasaki Triples Club track session" and also add your membership number. Please also let me know when you've sent in a form so I can check that the collation is happening. If you have already sent in an application form, let me know (via this website or call me (details in magazine)); the organisers are more than happy to re-allocate your session to the club session. If you know of anyone who is interested in taking part, but doesn't use the website, please pass this message on, or tell them to contact me. I will be getting back to those people who have already contacted me direct to make sure they put their form in.

As it is a public event, you will have to pay the same as everyone else but if you are a VMCC member, you get the member's rate. We have been granted permission for up to 50 bikes to run in the same single session on the Saturday, but you can enter more sessions if you wish (and pay!). For those who haven't looked yet, a single (15-minute) track session is £46, but you also get two weekend passes included. We have also been allocated a display space for about 12 to 15 bikes on the Avenue of Bikes; anyone entering for the track session can also put their bike on display and we could even rotate them throughout the weekend, depending on numbers; that said, anyone wanting to display their bike (Volunteers please!), but not enter the track session will get one free weekend pass (other passes can be bought).
Depending on how many takers we get, I will liaise with the organisers regarding a sectioned-off area for camping, so we can all be in one place (if we choose).
If you have any questions, please ask and I will try my best to answer them.

) so if we want to be together we'll probably need summat to show at the gate.
