A friend of mine seem to have a habbit of crashing, luckly for me I always seem to have a camera onboard but some times I'm to close for comfort.

Combined Printed and Web Membership, One Fee

I keep getting asked if members could have both the Web access codes and have the News Letters posted, as they like to read them in there own free time.I’ve tried to encourage members to choice one or the other as the advantage of web is the lack of admin and having both, doubles the admin work load.So I’ve worked out for a small extra charge I can arrange for both. The cost will make the total to £24.
So on renewal If you wish to up grade please visit the club web site (www.fjclub.co.uk) under link ‘Renewal membership’
Please note this option is for UK residents only.

FJ Owners Club Charity Ride ; July 29th ; Lands End to Bristol

After the great success of last years Charity Challenge which raised over £1700 for two good causes, I thought it would be good to do a similar thing in 2012.The charity I’ve chosen is the SNICU which raise’s money for Premature and Sick Newborn Babies in the UK (www.snicu.org.uk).
The money raised goes to buying essential equipment and improves the Unit’s facilities and services in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
To open it up to all members it’s simply going to be a Charity Run to raise money for the SNICU. The plan is to start the ride from The Little Barn Café, Trevescan, SENNEN, Cornwall, TR19 7AQ near Lands End, then ride all the way up along the coastal road to the club Workshop at Ivy Cottage, Cromhall, GL12 8AR (near Bristol).I’ve Estimate the mileage at 230 miles, no motorways except the short hop over the M5 Avonmouth bridge from J19 to J18 (otherwise the it would be impractical)
We must go via Newquay, Barnstaple, Lynton, this will ensure as close to the coast road a practical.

The Charity ride is open to ALL club members and friends, so please contact me (via email at doc@fjclub.co.uk , post at club address or ring me on 01454 299325) to confirm that you are participating.
You can down load the charity form from web site www.fjclub.co.uk so you can offically raise money, ether that please contact me and I’ll post some out some forms.
All riders who attend the charity run will be given a limited edition Club Polo shirt.
For those who want to make it more of a challenge, if they ride a bike of 500cc or less they will be given a limited edition Club Jacket.Personal my plan is to blag a demo bike; I’m currently looking at a 500cc Enfield or do the trip on my Suzuki DR250…. Well, I was mad enough to ride a £500 eBay bike last year. Ernie is looking at Fraser’s of Glos demo T MAX scooter, its the MOD in him!

Also please let Phil Hacker know you wish to take part
please dowm load charity form from link button
