The proceedures started with certification presentations to Dave Badcock and Mike Ingledew who not only bagged aN E2E Gold but also a SS2000, the first completed in the UK and also much to his suprise, and E2E Gold for  Mike Topham.

Presentations were done by myself, Chris McGaffin and Dave 'health warning' Badcock who did a great full monty much to the crowds amusment and donated various undergarments to certain members of the UK contingent.

Much thought had gone into how we could best help and prepare riders for the Iron Butt Rally without giving too much away and i think it was successful. Hopefully riders now understand that this is a world away from such as the National Rally.

The feed back has been outstanding for which we are extreamly grateful, and nearly everyone in the room expressed interest in a ride to eat in October which is great.

The rally team believe that we have the makings of one hell of a weekend in line for entrants on the 23rd May, but even if your not riding, come along and cheer them off or when they return

Many thanks to Chris, Dave and everyone who attended for making it such a success
