| | Excellent. Thanks for sorting this. I'll only be able to do the 31st, and that's IF I can get my summer holiday dates shifted a little (we were due to come back on the 31st, but if we can shift the whole holiday a few days earlier then I'd happily do it coz I really want to do a m/c control day). Will talk to my boss on Monday when she's back at work....

| | OK. Update on the date. We are going for Monday 25th August - its a Bank Holiday . Apologies for those that will be taking a long weekend break and hard earned rest, but if the day is as successful as we all hope then we will run another later in the year. Start time will be 0930 and we should be finished by about 1400. There will be a mid-session break for light refreshments etc. Cost: We will ask for a voluntary contribution of £10. However, if having sampled the skills that you can learn as an Advanced Rider and you wish to enrol by purchasing a "Skill for Life" Package (£109) we will deduct £10 from the upfront cost - meaning you only pay £99. Venue will be Gallions Reach Shopping Centre in Beckton, in the car park beind the Tesco filling station. Can those that wish to confirm attendance PM me with their contact details together with any further information you may require.

| What a top morning! I learnt a lot - mainly that I need to practise more!  ELAM-PR - please pass on my thanks to all your observers. A top team of very helpful observers. Thanks also to the other LBers who added to the enjoyment. I think I could have played on the final exercise all afternoon.....or at least until I got too confident and lowsided! Thanks again |

| I thoroughly enjoyed that! It was an ideal way to learn the capabilities of my new toy.  Again, many thatnks to Andrew and all ELAM observers who supported him. Excellent coaching, and it was great to have different points made by several observers on each exercise. I'll do a write-up soon.

All the ELAM Observers were impressed by your willingness to learn and the progress that was made. We all had a thoroughly good time and hope that we will be asked to run another event soon. Thanks again for your support and hope you all got home safely.

| I'll add my thanks and praise for all the ELAM guys and gals.
Despite my concerns about the black magic I think that I have learnt some of the basics and have actually started using it, although I am still nervous I will use it more.
Many, many thanks much appreciated that you took time out on a bank holiday.

A HUGE thanks to the ELAM observers who came out, i thought the session was most useful and particularly enjoyed the way it was structured. I'll definately be in touch about the 'skills for life' package  The counter-steer has had me chuffed all day, even when about town i'm finally realising where i use it and where i don't...... Thanks again guys and gals!
