International Rally 2012 – a Great Success, 249 people registered at the event. Visitors came from Czech Republic, Germany, France, Holland, Norway, Austria, Belgium, as well as from all over the British Isles. See the International Rally Page for more details.
Each of the 2 ride outs on Saturday had over 50 bikes attending, the weather was fine and we were able to show off the Yorkshire Dales, this stop was at the Ribblehead viaduct.
Sunday’s group ride out to Oakworth station was again blessed with good weather, over 50 bikes attended this run with most people taking a steam train ride at the discounted fare offered to the NOC.
Congratulations to branch members Bruce Senior for winning the best Norton based special prize for his Triton, also congratulations to Owen Walker for winning the best heavyweight twin prize for his Atlas.
International Rally & Directions to the venue
Bookings for the International Rally on 6th to 9th July have now topped the 200 mark.
Direction signs will be erected in the area on Thursday night before the event, however, the Skipton RFUC is within a few hundred metres of the railway station. The road directly opposite the station takes you to the venue, hopefully we’ll see you there.

5th May Wolds Run
5th May Wolds Run – 8 bikes from the branch joined the 230 mile round trip to the Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirby in Lincolnshire. Fortunately only a few light showers were encountered on the run. The event was well attended, the Lancaster and DC3 Dakota entertained the large crowd. On the way back Barry decided to do a bit of off roading when he misjudged a corner and ended up in a field! Fortunately no damage to rider or machine resulted. Also see photo in our events gallery.
Stafford Show – 28th April
28th April – Good attendance by branch members at the very busy Stafford Show. At least 7 members attended on Saturday.
