Hi Mike

Yes okay to give the form over on Monday.  Can you let lewis know that the session will be at 4pm to 5pm.  I have 8 riders at the moment so it makes sense to consolidate it into one hour session.

Be good to meet him on Monday.

Thanks

Mark

Go Ride went well lewis really enjoyed himself.  Shame about the wind.

Think this is what the kids need.

Thanks Mark.

Hi Mike

It starts this monday for the first session.  I am also in contact with a possible venue for a junior section which will meet every weekend.  Hopefully be able to finalise in the next two weeks.
