The main focus of the meeting was a talk by John Bennett, Chairman the Telford branch of Advanced Motorcyclist's Institute. It was a very informative evening where John set out the structure of the group and its under-lining principles and philosophy. John spoke in depth about the actual test and the advantages resulting from it. The talk finished with a question and answer session which raised some interesting points, especially about how we ride.

In addition to John's talk, we discussed our new starting venue. All thought it was fine and so we'll be using that the future runs.

April's run will be to Bourton on the Water on Sunday 20th April starting at 8.30am. The route will take us to Much Wenlock towards Bridgnorth. After that we take some lovely country roads across the Bewdley and Stourport. We will have our breakfast stop at the Little Chef on the A449 south of Kidderminster. The run continues over to Pershore and across country to Bourton on the Water. There's a great deal to see and do there, including a motor museum, a miniature village and a Flamingo sanctuary. It is also a great place to have lunch!

The bowling night was most enjoyable added to which we made over £26 for charity. Thank you to all those who made it such a good evening. For our next meeting we thought we could look at future social events. In the meantime if you have any ideas or suggestions please do bring them along to the meeting in May, or e-mail Michael. It would be very much appreciated. The club continues to grow with several more new members at April's meeting.
