There is now a new “Features” page on this website, occasionally there are articles that ideally would be printed in Triple Echo but don’t make it due to space restrictions, they will appear on the Features page from now on.

The club have a stand at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC on the 12th/13th/14th of November, if any club member would like to have their triple on the stand, please contact John Young (details in the column on the right). All types of bike are welcome, standard, modified and racing. The stand covers a large area and can accommodate around 12 bikes, so if you fancy showing your bike have a go.

Donington re-opened on Friday 13^th of August 2010 to the sound of Triples, the first race of the weekend was the Boyer Bransden 1300 Group 2 Twins and Multi’s which produced a front row of 4 Triples, Ricky McMillan No. 62, Cormac Conroy No. 71, Chris Chapman No. 38 and Pat Welch No. 75. The weekend was a fantastic success for the CRMC and all involved had a great time.

Thanks go out to the new leaseholders, Adroit Group for their sterling efforts in getting the track ready for racing. So Donington is well and truly open again for racing and track days. 2011 should see the CRMC returning to the circuit and running their Donington Classic Revival Meeting and you never know but there could be a grid full of Triples turning out for a special anniversary race.

For more information on the Donington Classic Revival check out www.crmc.co.uk

Front row, first race.

A much more detailed report will appear later, but as many of you may know B19 was hit by 107mph winds on Thursday night and was very nearly wiped out. However, the decision was taken to carry on and what a weekend we had. Everyone joined in the efforts to clean up and have a good time in spite of the previous night.

To illustrate the spirit shown, have a look at the Beezumph Bellydancers on youtube
