Now very much a "back-bencher" in the running of the Eastern Centre,I nonetheless see the organisation in very safe hands as we go into 2012.

It all bodes well for this grass-roots sector of off-road motorcycle sport. Even land access in this highly populated portion of England does not seem a problem.
