The first session is to be conducted at the Marist Clubrooms on Monday 25th July starting at 7pm. It is envisaged that these sessions will be approximately 2 hours.

The raffle which was started out at Ashhurst last week end was drawn on Sunday at the conclusion of the brass Monkey ride.
The prizes consisted of 2 clothing packs each pack containing a long sleeve jersey, a cap, gloves and shoe covers.
The numbers were drawn with the help of a couple of well respected members of the club.
The first number drawn was Geoff Russell
The second number drawn was Lui Gunderson.
Congratulations to you both.
Sport Manawatu, Bike Manawatu and Motorsport Manawatu have teamed up to run Cycle New Zealand, at Manfeild.
This new series of events will cater for all ages and levels of cyclists. Yes you heard right CYCLIST! The series will see cyclists zooming around Manfeild, the more laps they do the further across a map of NZ they get.
It is a great way to cycle as it’s very safe as it’s all off road. Coffee and food available after the rides! So get your bike ready so you cycle on the track before all the race cars come out!
Team Bald Eagles surfaced as the eventual winners at the Bike Manawatu Quiz Night held in the Marist Clubrooms on 11 June. Team spokesperson, Andrew Ward, during his after match address, had indicated that the key to their success was superior understanding of general knowledge but he refuted claims they had accessed the internet through hi-tech mobile phones in order to find the answers to some of the more random and bizarre questions. “Such allegations are unfounded” he said. The team just had some very clever people in it that combined well on the night to deliver an outstanding and well deserved result.
While the results were actually much closer than many expected, the night was not about the competition, rather it developing and fostering an esprit de corps within the club said Bike Manawatu Chairperson, Paul van Velthooven. The night was highly successful and the level of attendance excellent. We are all very grateful to Glenys Taylor and her committee for putting the event together.
The highlight of the evening will be seen by many as the auction run by John van Lienen in which seven bottles of mystery wine were bid upon. The best price paid for a bottle of wine was $110 to a mystery bidder. In total $610 was raised through the auction process.
