Observer training weekend MARCH 27-28
This was another excellent training session with our resident Police advanced rider and lots of cobwebs were blown away and new skills worked on. 
The attendance on Saturday was 100 per cent and all those present felt the benefit of the tuition - and the miles we put in (more than 250 according to my clock).  
Unfortunately the Sunday session only recorded a 50 per cent attendance due to two late cancellations. Please bear in mind that the group is paying for your place on this course so we all lose out if you fail to take up your booked place.
However the roads were good, the coffee stops frequent and the craic was mostly above the belt. 
Our thanks go to Bob for his patience and enthusiasm.
