October social meeting.

A good turnout of members were present for the October social evening at the Bowburn Hall Hotel.


The presentation was given by PC Ali Bonar of the Durham Police Bike section.  Ali gave a multimedia presentation to the members present reinforcing the methods and benefits of advanced riding.


After a little bit of IT challenge, Ali was able to deliver a light hearted presentation using video shot by Durham Bike Section on the fantastic roads of the Durham Dales.




Ali educating the members on the finer points of some of our laws!


The presentation was followed by a "pop quiz" on road signage, road markings and some of the more obscure aspects of road law.


For example:
 - Are you able to overtake/filter on the approach to a crossing?
 - What does the law state regarding pillions on a motorcycle?






The light hearted banter continued through the discussions around the answers, including the opportunity to challenge Ali's answer to the question regarding the types of crossings that exist!  This was challenged by the members who had participated in last month's road trivia quiz which featured a question about the "Pegasus" equine crossing.


Thanks to Ali for giving her time to the club for this presentation and also all of the support work she and her colleagues in the Bike Section give to DAM.
