I'd try and keep this as unofficial as possible - otherwise you'll have to sort out insurance etc. Make sure you've got permission to us elogos as well - don't want to land in any trouble! Me, Dan and Ogre will be over on Saturday to lend a hand and then Sunday to ride.

There'll be room for both of you, no arguing (or I'll turn the car around and take you home!). Still waiting on news on this - any more idea when it'll be? There's a national at Brimham on the 17th, which I'll be going to, so if it's then I can't make it.

A few interviews: Interview with Jack Carthy - At just 14 years old, Jack Carthy is already at the top of the British trials circuit and has cleaned up at the UCI’s World Youth Games. Here’s a quick interview with the phenomenal British rider, who has just signed with Koxx for 2011! Johen Webster, the revelation of the World Championship - An interview with the big revelation of last year’s World Championship: Canadian John Webster, who managed to qualify for the final alongside the world’s best! He tells us about the competition and some good news for 2011! Charlie Rolls and his Monty 207 - At just 9 years old, he is already Bristish Champion and BIU World Champion. Here’s an presentation of the phenomenal Charlie Rolls and his new bike, a customised Monty 207 that weighs in at just 7.3 kilos!

This sounds good! I'm in Sheffield and will be well up for this. I can probably make it over to lend a hand clearing/setting sections etc. if you let me know when you're going to be there and that

Gutted Robin. Still, nice holiday in Spain I take it? An yes, I've received Adam's membership. I haven't confirmed any memberships by email yet - I was just going to send out membership cards as confirmation.

A nice set of pics - looks like it was a great day! You look like you're getting on well with the 26" Carl, good to have more people riding big wheels in the club! And yes, the Iciar 'lookalike' is Andy Ford

Hi, Yep, it's me who deals with membership applications. I got back from my holiday on Monday night (which is why I missed the Shipley trial ) and have had a lot to catch up on. I've processed most of the membership applications that I've received (great to see so many new members!); I have a few more to do today and then I'll be sending membership cards out in the post. Danny, I don't remember seeing your email and I've searched for that email address in my inbox and no joy - looks like it never came through. Can you resend it please?

I quite like mine. THe only issue I have is that although they fit me round the waist and the legs are (more or less) the right length, they're a lot baggier than I'd normally like for riding trousers. The ankle cuff and material/liner are all nice features, but I'll be riding in jeans/other trackies once these have perished. The right ankle's getting a bit ratty now from freewheel damage (as Mark said, that happens to all trousers that you ride in), so that may be fairly soon. EDIT: NO idea what happened there. Just read one of them and ignore the other two.

Probably wise

Chris Akrigg is f*cking cool. That video was mint - it had everything in it!

Looks lush Carl! is that a dent on the downtube?

Chimps are apes.

Thanks Carl. Just replied to your email about membership etc.
