Jan 2012: MOT Exemption Survey: Your Views Wanted.
The possibility of exempting certain groups of vehicles from the requirement to have an annual MoT test has been under discussion since the end of 2010.
The Department for Transport issued a consultation on the subject in November, which included a proposal to exempt pre-1960 vehicles from testing. The full text of the consultation can be found at www.dft.gov.uk/consultations/dft-2011-27 .
The Federation of Historic British Vehicle Clubs, of which we are a member, will be submitting a response to this consultation. Before responding the FHBVC needs to understand what historic owners feel about the proposal. Time is limited as responses have to be made before the end of January. The only practical way to obtain this information in time is by means of an on-line survey that addresses the key questions raised by the consultation.
The FBHVC would like classic vehicle owners firstly to read the consultation documents and then to take part in their survey. The FBHVC will then make a formal response to the consultation based on the views expressed.
To take part in the survey visit http://fbhvc.co.uk/mot-survey/ , survey closes 26th January 2012.

Romney Marsh Classic Motorcycle Bikejumble :
Hayes & Southall Motorcycle Club are playing live MotoBall, which is 5-aside football played on motorcycles. MotoBall was started after the first World war by British army dispatch riders. The sport grew and a British League and Knock-out Cup ran for many years. However, along with many other motorcycle sports such as Grasstrack and Speedway, popularity declined until it is now rarely seen in the UK. A selection of basic trials machines will be in use, including twin-shock Honda, Yamaha, Bultaco, BSA C15 and Husqvarna and it’s fast and exciting to watch! Hayes & Southall Motorcycle Club are always on the look-out for new members, so this could be your chance to join in. Press Release for September 18th available here.

- Motoball is back on Sunday 22nd May. Free to watch, five-aside motorcyc le football.
- This is the twentieth year of the Rye Classic Shows & Bikejumbles, so after twenty years we've decided to change the name to something more meaningful, and we’re now known as The Romney Marsh Classic Show & Bikejumble. The new name reflects our location better, and the venue is unchanged at Hamstreet, which is 8 miles South of the M20 junction 10, post code TN26 2JD. This should appease the ladies of Rye Tourist Information centre, who still get people dropping in to ask where in Rye is Ham Street....
- Venue is unchanged, at Hamstreet, Kent TN26 2JD (6 miles South of the M20 junction 10)
- We'll be putting together a display of old photos from earlier years for the Summer Show, so if you have anything of interest do drop us a line.
- Tons of motorcycles, spares, accessories & clothing for sale in the bikejumble & free to sell Bikemart.

Rye (Hamsteet) Classic Bikejumble on Sunday, 16th May. Great turn-out of stalls with plenty of bargains, plus an impromptu Mustang fly-past. I'm reliably informed that the awesome howl as the Mustang banks is air passing thru' the gun-slots, not the turbo cutting in nor the screams of the pilot!
