Cumbria / Carlisle bike event

[map]

I have just been sent the following information. I thought I'd share on here in case anyone wanted to attend and/or arrange to meet.

CUMBRIA CONSTABULARY
ROADSAFE DAY
CARLISLE RACECOURSE
SUNDAY 17TH JULY 2005


On Sunday 17th July Cumbria Constabulary is holding a Roadsafe event at
Carlisle Racecourse. The event is geared towards road safety and casualty
reduction and is aimed at all road users but particularly motorcyclists and
young car drivers. The force has a big input with ‘Bikesafe’, which is a
national police initiative to reduce casualties among motorcyclists. The
force would also like to include car drivers in road safety initiatives
aimed at reducing casualties.

This year’s inaugural event is being held at Carlisle Racecourse, which has
excellent facilities both outdoors and indoors and has ample parking and is
easily accessible from all parts of Cumbria. If successful it is anticipated
that this will become an annual event. The event will take place between
10am and 5pm and all proceeds raised on the day are for charity, which on
this occasion will be for the Cumbria Air Ambulance.

Major attractions on the day are as follows:-

Yamaha British Superbike Rider John McGuinness and Team

unaccompanied children allowed under the age of 16 years. Programmes will be
available on the day for £1 and will include an entry form for a draw to win
a Track Day at Donnington Park. There will also be a raffle with prizes
including a VIP Day at Carlisle Races.

It is hoped that the ‘Pride of Cumbria’ Air Ambulance will also be in
attendance.
