I'm interested in club racing......I'm saving my predictions until I see who's doing what next season!

I agree with you 100 per cent, club racing is the best, me and the wife go to every BEMSEE - MRO meeting at Brands and the racing is a class above anything else, in fact ten-tenths seems to not even have anyone apart from us that are interested in club bike racing.I used to post saying how great club racing is but there seems to be no one out there. The thing about W.S.B. and grand Prix fans is they all appear to be fanatical about a few riders, well let me tell you i have no favourates at the bemsee - mro, they are all bloody hero's and i respect and support every one of them. I take hundreds of photo's of club racers and if some of those W.S.B. fans could see what hard B######s club racers are they like me would be hooked, after all most club racers have to pay out of their own pockets when they have a "off", but do they slow a bit and take it easy, well anyone who has seen these racers in action knows the answer and if you go on the M.R.O site under Misc pics you will see a couple of examples i caught of how hard they race. So if any club racers read this i take my hat of to you and wish you a safe and rewarding season to come and if you want to say hello i will on the banking just up from paddock. P.S. if you ask nicely i may take a couple of pics pff you in action, gratis. Paul Bridges

at last somebody else is out there
unfortunatley i cant make any bemsee meetings this year i got the avaliablity form through yesterday and they are not coming to mallory this year or donnington.
nevermind because i still have the likes of emra, newera, vmcc, cmcc retford etc
with all this choice it provides me with great racing every weekend and you get to see the stars of the future.
these lads are giving it the max and the racing so close you could cover the top ten with a blanket alot of the time

pauldavid · 10 Jan 2003, 19:56 (Ref:470546)

Not sure how big this is, but here goes

pauldavid · 10 Jan 2003, 20:00 (Ref:470553)

Oh well yet again i tried and failed to post a image

pauldavid · 10 Jan 2003, 20:10 (Ref:470560)

and there's more

mpj · 10 Jan 2003, 20:12 (Ref:470564)

OUCH..looks painfull

do you have a web site with all of your pictues on
or know of any

pauldavid · 10 Jan 2003, 20:17 (Ref:470568)

I personally do not have a site but i do post a few on the MRO site www.bemsee.co.uk if you like club racing this site is a must, lets hope we spur a few more people on ten - tenths to wake up to club bikes. By the way the bemsee site is very friendly and i know you will be made welcome on their forum.

...and only one weekend at Oulton! It's a pity Bemsee is, basically, a southern club; it was the first one we marshalled for, & still the best we've come across.

We're going to try to do at least one of the Bemsee Cadwell meetings; you're welcome to come & join us at Oulton.

I'm looking forward to a good season for my mate Daz Jones in the Aprilia Milles........

mpj · 11 Jan 2003, 11:12 (Ref:471035)

cheers for the website im gonna go and have a look

it is a shame bemsee dont spread there wings a bit further up the country.
there meeting at mallory was brilliant last year

calcium · 11 Jan 2003, 12:41 (Ref:471085)

Hi, I'm another fan of the Club meetings ( only been to Oulton Park though) Yes, they should spread their wings and get themselves up North!!!

There are good reasons for this. Bemsee did run (or try to run - the weather defeated everybody's best efforts) at Croft in 2000. Sadly they are running fewer meetings at Oulton this year; although Dave Stewart is on record as saying it's the best circuit in the country, it is, for many club competitors, too far from home to contemplate doing many meetings. The normal format for a weekend is a Bemsee club meeting on Saturday & an MRO meeting on the Sunday; for whatever reason, I suspect the late Sunday start, this is not done at Oulton. Now that Bemsee has stopped using Mallory (I think I know why, but I'm not going to discuss that here) the Oulton on Saturday/Mallory on Sunday format is no longer an option.

It is a great shame that we don't see more of Bemsee at the northern circuits, as nobody organises meetings better, or does so much for the sport.

You should have gone to Mallory on Boxing Day - great fun!

Get yourself to Anglesey this year; Aintree's fun as well.

You took your time finding this thread, didn't you?

mpj · 11 Jan 2003, 14:14 (Ref:471138)

mallory on boxing day was fun
i marshal both cars and bikes so it was a perfect day for me
role on march and the first bike meeting at mallory

calcium · 11 Jan 2003, 14:40 (Ref:471152)

Mallory Park on Boxing Day!!!!!! far too cold......

Never really thought about going to Aintree or Anglesey, have they got web sites so that I could look up some dates??

Thanks.

Actually it was far too wet. Still a fit person like you could have wrapped up nice and warm and dry, I might even have lent you my orange umbrella, to both watch and photograph the racing.

They both do have their own websites, however, the club we bike marshal for at Anglesey is Wirral 100. There is also a SuperMoto round, run by Bemsee, at Anglesey on 9 February so we look forward to seeing you there. You can have a bit of a lie-in because they are not allowed to start engines before 10.00 am.

Which post were you situated at for the Plum Pudding? If you go into the marshals' forum you will see a tread about the meeting.

It was quite mild - after the rain stopped it was quite a pleasant day. I was actually quite warm at times - nothing like a bit of track sweeping to get the circulation going!

You'll find links to websites for those & a lot more circuits at:

how to keep your bum warm at a bemsee meeting

pauldavid · 21 Jan 2003, 18:06 (Ref:481354)

Is the first round of the BEMSEE - MRO at Brands in the first week of march?.does anyone know, Have octogon produced a list of meetings yet?. Christ waiting for some sort of racing is killing me, i hate winter,i work in the construction industry and one week we freeze and then the next we drown. Roll on spring, at least the rain is a little warmer.

Dunno about Octagon, but Bemsee has produced a list.

The first meeting of the season is the Bemsee national championships on the 8th & 9th of March. First MRO is Snett on the 23rd, with a King of Clubs round on the 22nd.

Check the dates at: www.bemsee.co.uk as they are still officially provisional.
