We have been given advanced notice of a vintage motorcycle event on Sunday 29th Sept from about 11 am to 12am. They will be coming through Farlow and up Farlow Bank then right at the cross roads across the common and up to Hopton Bank Garage.

It took a while and a lot of chasing but work has now been completed on Walters Lane. This was funded by the Council and done by Roddy who has done a great job and it should stay usable throughout the year.  Well done to all involved.

Don’t forget the Quiz night fund raiser on 16th June !

Mortimer Forest is a wonderful local place to ride and walk away from traffic and people. You are probably already aware but there is a threat to the forest with the proposed development of a holiday park with 68 log cabins. If you want to save the forest please sign the petition now.

Thanks,

We have been told by Shropshire Council  that the work on Walters Lane is now booked for May this year. A quote was supplied to the council by a local contractor which they have approved. Start on the project has been put back to May to allow the ground conditions to dry out.

Thanks to Jo for her persistence.

Please find below a link to the Shropshire User Survey for 2017-2018.

We really do need to get responses up from Equestrians.

Each member of a family can fill in a separate Survey as an Equestrian. They can also do a separate one, if they wish, for other disciplines like walking, as this would have different responses.

Equestrian responses were outnumbered last year by responses from cyclists.

In 2016 there were only 48 responses from Equestrians to the User Survey, and in 2017 this increased to 133.

At the end of October 2017 the BHS alone had 1,357 BHS members in Shropshire, with regionally 7,456 BHS members, with no doubt many equestrians on our borders who ride into Shropshire.

I know we all get fed up filling in these sorts of survey and not seeing any outcome but for 5 minutes effort we need to be doing this and get the numbers of responses up. This is an annual survey so please do fill it in, and pass the link on.
