Motor Club Sports Section
By Sports Secretary Mr Keith Shuck
Another very quiet year for the Motor Club in 2008, due mainly to a complete lack of any Members, including me, having any involvement in Motor Sport for this year for various reasons.
I was unable to attend the NW Region AGM in February but I was re-elected as Vice Chairman. The Club Affiliation Fees were again not required for 2008 as long as we registered our Club which was done. The Region Meeting in October was cancelled due to lack of support.
Unfortunately Ian Marginson had to go into hospital again last spring for his second new knee joint to be fitted which was successful but put him out of Motorcycling for the summer!
Also Howard Sidery has been working away a lot so we were unable to enter either of the Motorcycle Treks this year.
Which all adds up to a report that we haven’t done anything in 2008! Except of course saving the Sports Fund money.
We do, however, thank the Sports Club for their support and look forwards to the 2009 Season.
2007 top
By Secretary Mr Keith Shuck
A quiet year for the Motor Club in 2007, due mainly to my year as Captain of Herons Reach Golf Club and all the rigmarole that goes with that and the fact that Ruth's Father, the Revd John Green passed away quite suddenly in October.
I was unable to attend the NW Region AGM in February but I was re-elected as Vice Chairman. The Club Affiliation Fees were again not required for 2007 as long as we registered our Club which was done. I was unable to attend the Region Meeting in October due to the Bereavement.
We did however, manage to field a team in the Cleveland Police Motorcycle Trek held at Stainton Village, Cleveland over the weekend of 27th to 29th April 2007.
Unfortunately Ian Marginson had to go into hospital for a new knee joint to be fitted at short notice so Howard Sidery and I went as a two man team. Needless to say we didn't do too well BUT we didn't come last!!
I have enclosed a picture of me intrepidly about to cross over the suspended bridge at Middlesbrough. It didn't break down under the weight!
We thank the Sports Club for their support and look forwards to the 2008 Season.
2006 top
By Secretary Mr Keith Shuck
Well, for a change The Motor Club has been quite busy in 2006.
The Northern Region AGM was held in February at Hough End, Manchester and I was re-elected as Vice Chairman.
In 1986 I started in Lancashire what was to become one of the Motor Club success stories by holding the first FBPMC Motorcycle 'TREK' on behalf of the Lancashire Constabulary Motor Club. Since then the events have gone from strength to strength with at least four such events being held round the Country each year.
The Lancashire Constabulary hosted a special '20th ' Anniversary Trek in May this year and I am happy to report that some 61 Members and some 15 guests enjoyed the event which was based at Pontin's, Blackpool and covered a 200 mile route through Lancashire, The Lakes and even Pendle Hill.
Unfortunately the weather was a bit damp but everyone managed to finish and a good time was had by all, with the event being won by the South Yorkshire Contingent.
On Saturday 23rd September 2006 a Lancashire Team took part in the South Yorkshire Trek based at Hellaby Hall, Rotherham and managed to finish 11th out of 27 teams and individually 32nd, 41st and 56th out of 73 Competitors.
We thank the Sports Club for their support and look forwards to the 2007 Season.
2005 top
By Secretary Mr Keith Shuck
Unfortunately I have to report that the Motor Club has been rather dormant in sport this year due to many factors which mainly includes the location and timing of events which clashed with others.
The Federation ran a ‘Drive for Life’ Charity event raising money for the Marie Curie Cancer Care Charity and Lancashire was involved when the participants visited 55 Force Headquarters in 24 hours including Lancashire on 3rd April 2005.
On the Sports Club behalf we donated £50 towards the Fund.
One of our Members Bob Flewitt, a DC at Headquarters, has been campaigning with the Preston and District Motorcycle Club in their 400 Race Series and although not yet a winner is improving all the time.
We thank the Sports Club for their support and look forwards to the 2006 Season.
2004 top
By Secretary Mr Keith Shuck
The Lancashire Constabulary Motor Club is affiliated to the Federation of British Police Motor Clubs in the same manner that we are associated to the Police Athletic Association. Like many other sports there seems to have been a decline in interests over the last few years but the Motor Club has been kept alive by a small but determined band of about 23 members.
Keith Shuck (Retired Traffic Sergeant), has served as Vice-Chairman of the Northern Region of the FBPMC since 2002 and is just about to re-elected for 2005.
Throughout 2004 members of the Section have assisted at various Rallies and Charity Events throughout the Region and have attended Regional Meetings representing the Constabulary.
A Lancashire Constabulary Motor Club Team was entered in one Motor Cycle Trek in 2004:
Chestrek Crewe, on 24th/25th September, finishing in 7th Place overall.
I am pleased to report that as a result of the Sports and Social Club Web Site two new Members have come forwards to let me know of their activities in Marshalling at Events and competing in Motorcycle Sport.
The Section is looking forwards to 2005 and thanks the Sports and Social Club for its assistance and support.
