To all members who attended Cassington Bike Night the event has been cancelled this
year and probably for good after meetings with the local council and the Thames Valley
Police. The British Bike Riders Club who have organised the event without the slightest
trouble for 25+ years have finally had to bow out due to H&S requirements that could not be met. An example being a road closure at £1500 with eight weeks notice required with four weeks to the Event.
This was a very large gathering of six to eight thousand riders with all proceeds going
to village charities,the school, church, sports club etc for putting up with us all year.
Please relay this to friends to avoid disapointment and a wasted journey
