A CALL TO ARMS --THE BIRMINGHAM TESTERS RUN

The Birmingham Testers Run was discussed at length during this years MH Memorial Run (March 2009)

1. Problems with destinations -- most people were disappointed with last years Welshpool Transport Festival (JP confirms we will not be going again). Behind the scenes you would not believe how difficult it is to get an event willing to accept us!!!!!!

2. Getting lost in the city centre! You must all remember that we are not professional event organisers, I am just me (JP) and the run is me and Mark! It is not that easy when you have to manoeuvre a group of riders around roads you are not familiar with besides half the fun of this event is that its normally a cock up. Perhaps I should charge everyone an admission fee and insist you register as most other events do! You also have to realise that because we start from a factory site or similar these are not always best placed for an easy escape route out of the city.

Anyway I think it is about time that some of the regulars pitched in and gave some help.

This years intended destination, Llanberis Slate Mine
