Can all run organisers please send details of your run to the webmaster and Section Secretary at least 4 weeks before the run. Give start point, times, distance, contact and any other information.

Runs are organised runs where we meet at a location and then go for a scenic run,
usually ending with a meal.

Meets are where we ride to the location just to meet up, chat, kick tyres etc.
There is no organised run from the location, and 4 wheels is acceptable if weather poor.
Unless otherwise specified, aim to be there between 11.30 & 12.00.
Some meets are Saturday, some are Sunday.
Location will normally have a cafe.

Note that Meets are not official VMCC or VMCCNI events, and are thus not covered by VMCC Third Party Insurance.

Displays – we hope to organise 1 or more static displays each year.

Other events are also listed as long as they have a major VMCCNI contribution.
