News from Dave Blackburn, the training rep for the team:
A bit of training news for everyone. I have applied to Paul O for funding for trg events next year. What we get will depend on what enduro as a disipline get, and how the finances are looking, but i plan to run the events anyway, as long as i get enough interest, and any money off will be a bonus.
The plan is:
Main event - overseas trg camp - andorra - approx 2 weeks long, if you want to know more ask me or one of the others who went last year.
Date - late Aug into early sep (provisionally)
Cost - work on £500 a head, - thats pretty worst case.
Other bits -
Two trail riding trips to wales, prob mid week and 3 days riding.
Good accom with awesome food.
Dates TBC, but one near the start of the season, and one July ish.
cost - worst case £350 ish.
Two MX practice days hiring out a track.
Dates to be fitted around the race calendar once it is all out.
Prob on a wed or sat, and hopefully the first in late feb, early march.
Cost - depends on numbers but about £20 a head if I get 20 people.
We will hopefully be able to get duty status for these, maybe with travel auth'd as well (except andorra where we wont be able to get travel, but will be on duty), so that will keep costs down, also any funding we get from the enduro/ ardua money will bring it down. My numbers are best guess at the worst case - hopefully it will be a good bit less.
Could people let me know what if any you are interested in, and if anyone has any strong feelings about the 'best' mx tracks to book (or worst), or if you know anyone who can get us a good deal at a track let me know.
TRADE ACCOUNTS - As per the EGM I am now running the trade accounts. Current accounts are CI sport, ORO, Dunlop and Talon.
Discounts are available to RAF MSA Team members only.
ORDER PROCESS - Send me an email to daveburners@hotmail.com, include all the obvious details, + part numbers if using CI sport online catalogue. You can check prices using the CI catalogue, call ORO sport for prices, and if it is talon you will prob have spoken to them anyway. Dunlop details please phone me.
I will place orders by phone and text the amount to you, please then transfer that amount to my account ( Phone for details) Please text or email when the money is moved so I can check it arrives.
I have to say this bit -
If you order you are obliged to pay,
If you pay excessively late and I get charged interest, you are obliged to pay
If the wrong parts arrive, or they arrive slowly, you are obliged to pay
In fact, on just about every occasion you can think of - you are obliged to pay........
Any questions just ask.......
