The Founders of the Ride of Respect, The

Legion Riders Branch are delighted to

announce that the Ride of Respect 2014 will

take place on Sunday, 1st of June 2014, from

Dalton Barracks in Oxfordshire.

Registration will be available online from

Saturday, 12th October 2013.

We need volunteers for all manner of roles as

we will be supporting the Founders and the

Unity Support Riders at the Assembly Area at

Dalton Barracks and on the Ride itself.

In addition, the RBLR will be organising and

running the Ride's End Event at Carterton,

which will need a number of members to assist

here too.



Page 5 of 10

If you have any questions about anything to do

with the Ride of Respect, please contact

Sheepy on [email protected] Don't forget

(and this is brilliant), all funds raised from the

Ride of Respect will be credited to the RBLR

Poppy Appeal total and will go a long way

towards us achieving our 10yr MILLION total,

so the more volunteers we get, the more likely

we are to make this a massive success and

bring in much-needed funds for our

Beneficiaries.

Stonebroom Carnival

Stonebroom , Derbyshire, Will be putting on a

village carnival on Saturday 14th June 2014.

The aim of the carnival is to re-ignite the

community spirit of the village. It will be the

first of its kind held in the village for

approximately 30 years.

To help launch this endeavour, they have

invited the Riders Branch to attend (and add

some colour), with the county gazebo and as

many riders as possible to support the event.

All funds raised (by the riders), will be in aid

of The Poppy Appeal.

There will be a parade through the village at

10:30am, and the main event being on the

village green from 12 mid-day to 5pm

(although festivities may spill over into the

evening).

Derbyshire County Rep is of the opinion that

this is an ideal opportunity to advertise who

we are, who the beneficiaries of the poppy

appeal are and what we do to aid "the" cause.

Your support for this event in this busy year

would be much appreciated. Those kindly

willing to lend their support and valuable time,

please let me (Dave) know.

SERVICES

Halo Smart Protect is a unique treatment system developed and supplied by All Year Biker.

We all know winter road salt is a killer for bikes, but here are a few things you might

not be aware of:

During the rest of the year environmental fall-out, sea spray and even animal

waste can cause corrosion.

In certain conditions animal waste on the roads can be up to 3 times more

corrosive than road salt.

Washing alone will not prevent corrosion, in fact trapped cleaning water can

often start the process.

Corrosion rarely ‘starts’ where you can see it but once established it can spread

alarmingly fast.

There is now a Lincolnshire based Operative so you can have your bike treated without

having to travel miles. Trevor Bridgwood (Riders Branch Member) is based just outside

Lincoln and covers LN, DN and some NG postcodes. If you are interested in getting

your bike protected then give me a call. For more information visit the All Year Biker

Facebook page at www.facebook.com/allyearbiker
