To all NAM “newshounds”
Published July 20, 2011
As you know we like to get a comment or two from you, whether you’re a budding journalist or not doesn’t really matter.
We want to know about that great biking holiday wherever it was.
The super week-end in Cornwall, that great biker friendly hotel or B&B, that super new route to somewhere even better, and that great pub, down by the river with home cooked pies – tell us all about it.
Anything at all “hints & tips” like how I conquered my GPS, in 100 easy stages… or how I mended a puncture, using only teaspoons and elastoplast !
And when you do send it direct to: namnewsletter@yahoo.co.uk
The NAM mag “news-desk”
Thanks guys – Paul m: 07834-600665

NAM Club Night
Published June 27, 2011NAM Club Night
Thursday 21 July 7.30pm
We have Bob and Viv Goddard talking of their three month 11,000km ride through the wilderness of New Zealand - on a couple of small off road motorbikes.
There’s a book too “Land of the Long Wild Road”, I’m sure Bob will bring a few copies and - if it’s half as good a read as his “Beyond Bucharest” you’ll not be disappointed. Put it in the diary.
See you at Dunston Hall, Ipswich Road Norwich…

“Buddy can you spare a dime?”
Published June 18, 2011
“Buddy can you spare a dime?”
Times are hard, only one foreign holiday this year kids, no you can’t have a new bike, new trainers because the old ones are “out of fashion”, so what’s wrong with the mobile phone you’ve already got?
Yes times are hard… but think just how hard they’d be if you happened to live in an old run down Soviet Bloc country with nothing much to start with then the local power station (nuclear by the way) blew up.
That’s what “Friends of Chernobyl’s Children” charity don’t just think about, they “do”. I’m riding the bike to Ukraine in July with a group of “Friends” and although I’ll be paying for that I am seeking sponsors – every penny will go to the charity and in turn to help the kids over there have a taste of a better life.
So if you can spare a fiver, a tenner or even more that would be great and the kids would be really grateful – honest…
