Bumping this thread

[poppett]

Directions please to the venue from Thurso. Will there be catering facilities and toilets at the site?

[Caithness Motox]

Thank you for your query Poppet
Yes there are toilets and there will be a mobile chip shop available on site.
Travel towards Dounreay past Weigh Inn and approx 2-3 miles out of Thurso on your left hand side. There is a large sign on the gate and you should see the other traffic.
See you there, lets pray for good weather :D

[JAWS]

Hope you get a good turn out.

[Caithness Motox]

Thanks Jaws
I really hope so also.

Sounds good. What sort of things will you be doing ? My kids have helmets, will there be other equipment there to buy ?

We have advised our current members if they have any equipment that they would like to sell to bring it along. I have spoken to a few people who have expressed an interest in selling equipment.

It is hoped that we will have a lot of practice with some short races. It will all depend on what the riders want. It is an opportunity for new and existing riders to have a little bit of practice with no race pressure. We also hope to see lots of new faces especially kids who may not want to race but just have fun on their bikes. It's also a chance to pick the brains of the more experienced riders and hopefully they can give a few pointers to improve skills.

So, it's more for the kids - think we'll come along a look

I've been thinking about buying a quad and doing a bit of racing. Do you think there would be anybody there I could talk to for a little bit of advice as I'm a bit lost with it all? I'd quite like to have a look at some of the bikes though and see what I'm letting myself in for ;)

Cheers. Hopefully see you there :)

It's not just for kids but hopefully we can get some new members and raise the clubs profile. There are a lot of kids who have quads or scramblers but might no know about the club.

There will be plenty of experienced riders & parents there to give advice. It's also a chance to watch and see what happens to see if you would like it before you go to the expence of buying a bike!

We are planning to go with oldest son...could he be more excited? has washed his wee quad and been horsing around the parks in eager anticipation of the big day! Hope it is all he craves and he doesn't feel completely out of his league! Nice for a club to hold an open session for the wee guys to have a taste of the real thing without the expense of joining and having to be competitive. The lady I spoke to from the club was very nice and was able to answer all my queries and hope to see folk there...thank you in anticipation!
