1. MCN Motorcycle Show Excel – Just a brief update on our Triumph Owners Motorcycle Stand at the MCN Motorcycle Show at Excel between 2nd and 5th of Feb – We manned the stand as volunteers and it proved to be a busy time for us all. Although the snow and cold weather on Sunday appears to have deterred many from attending the show, wwe were kept extremely busy throughout the four days explaining the club to prospective members and eventually managed to sign up over 60 new members– including 12 new Surrey members, to the TOMCC family, So overall a great display by the TOMCC and a warm welcome to the new Surrey members who we hope to see down one of our club meetings soon..

2. Club Nights February - Please don’t forget that we have our club nights down at the King William IV in West Horsley every Thursday night starting around 8pm - Our scheduled club nights for February are:-

4.Bisley Ranges – Just a reminder about the possible date down at Bisley Ranges, If you are interested please email me back so that I can add your name to the list and then sort a date out – anyway, the Bisley message is repeated for the benefit of all:-

My contact at the ranges has given me this brief summary of how the day is run:-  The way I plan to run the guest days (learning from previous events) is to allocate slots during the morning/afternoon when the guests will get 1-1 tuition with a club instructor, and be given the opportunity to fire the club rifles. The slots will depend on previous shooting experience, for someone who has shot previously, 30 minutes will be sufficient, for someone new to the sport, probably 45 minutes. That way we can give each guest a specific time to turn up, I can organise the instructor, and we can all have a nice time.  The cost of a 30 minute session, when we typically fire 12 rounds will be around £12, to cover paying for the range hire, and ammo at £8 for 12 rounds. A second session will just be the cost of the ammo, so £8. These figures will be finalised nearer the date. We should be able to handle 10 of your members in a morning or afternoon session without a problem. It is a great day out and something very different to the normal run of the mill events. Now if that has whetted your appetite and you wish to have a ‘shot’ at this, then please send me an email so I can note your interest and start to get things organised.

6. For Sale – Standard Screen for a Triumph Trophy 900, S registration 1998 model  I received this email from someone I spoke to at the MCN motorcycle show – if you are interested please call Chris Direct:

Hello Ray - I spoke to you on the TOMCC stand at Excel on Friday, hope you had a good show and there was lots of interest. I mentioned that I have a standard screen from a Triumph Trophy 900, S registration 1998 model that I’m disposing of. I’d replaced it with a taller screen some years ago and the bike was eventually sold with the larger screen in place. The next and last model Trophy had the same style fairing, but with a larger screen as standard, I think they realised that it needed it for long journeys. Mind you, on Friday I bought a taller screen for my current CBF600S ... so maybe it’s just me! It seems a shame to simply recycle it when someone might be in need of one. I wonder if there is any chance of putting a note in your newsletter or similar. I know they cost over £160 new, so maybe £50? I’m based in Kingston upon Thames, so close to Surrey for collection. I’d also be happy to drop it off somewhere provided it’s not miles away!  All the best, Chris   -  chrislally@o2.co.uk  020 8546 9494
