Matt has sent in this report of the club visit to Rockingham Speedway race track in Corby.
​
Saturday 2nd April Rockingham Ride Out
A group of around a dozen riders met up at Ansell's motorcycles Finedon for our prompt 9am departure for Rockingham Speedway................we worked to Andy's timing so we left about 10 minutes late but we got there without getting  lost - well done Andy.
The event, primarily aimed at road safety awareness. As soon as the Sun came out more people arrived making for a very well attended event offering more than enough to look at.
We were all expecting to be served up with Burgers 
ala Doug Perkins but when he tried out his recently mended generator he discovered that power output could not be regulated hence no cooking....however the moans and groans of disappointment were as quickly overcome when Gemma Rutland ( event organiser) appeared and issued free dinner tickets for the Circuit Diner. What a great choice of food there was and had Rod been there even he wouldn't have been after looking for extra chips!
Unfortunately I had left my camera at home although I am sure others would have taken a few shots.....................the only ones received showed Paul and myself and our "British is Best" machines strategically placed directly in front of the VJMCC trailer and banner, where they stayed all day.
Race track demonstrations took place showing various methods of high speed chase manoeuvres and there were certainly ample opportunity to gain a great 
deal of information from all attending - All in all a good day out.

Dear All,

A huge thank you from the Open Roads organisation team for supporting Saturday’s event. We were really pleased by the array of displays, activities, information stands and road safety messages delivered throughout the day and that the programme of events drew the crowds to watch the demonstrations, all thanks to your hard work and support.

We had approx. 3000 visitors attend the event and the initial feedback on the day was very positive. The sun was even kind and came out to shine for most of the event!

We would really like to hear from you about how you found the event and we will be contacting you soon to gather feedback.

Many thanks again and we hope you all enjoyed the event.

Gemma Rutland on behalf of the Open Roads organisation team.
