The EACC badge has arrived! But not just the EACC badge - there are embroidered badges, a rider's badge and key-rings too. See below for more info.
The EACC has been approved by DVLA for the validation of V765 forms. These are the forms you use in the UK to re-register an old vehicle while retaining its original registration mark. The EACC can also issue dating certificates for registering machines with an 'age-related' registration mark. For more information about what this all means - have a look at our Registrations page.
Yes! That's us. As with all statistics, there are various ways of interpreting them. You can determine growth by the number of new members joining, or by the overall total number of members, and you can look at the growth as a percentage of the total, or as a plain number. However, whichever way you look at the numbers, we still come out top! Well done to all of you who've been out there recruiting.
This is an idea from 'The St Neots Boys' for a run later in the year - read more on the events page.
There's more information about other EACC events, on our Events Page.
We were visited at the Radar Run by Emma Merwood from Footman James Insurance. All East Anglian Cyclemotor Club members qualify fot discounts on insurance from Footman James. Read more about it on the Insurance page.
The East Anglian Cyclemotor Club, originally formed in 1981, has returned.
Club membership is open to all. Although the club's title is East Anglian, there are no geographical restrictions on who can join. We now have members in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Devon, Dorset, Essex, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Northern Ireland, Oxfordshire, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex, Sussex, Warwickshire, Wiltshire, Yorkshire, Eire, Australia and the People's Republic of China. We have set the UK membership fee at just £2.50. You can find out more about joining the EACC here.
We also offer the option of joining on-line using PayPal.
We're making excellent progress at developing the club. We have produced a couple of newsletters and we have drawn up a first draft of a set of rules, take a look and see what you think of them. We have a volunteer treasurer, the bank account is up and running, we're insured, have a full programme of events and have a volunteer spares officer.
Not only that, but we've also negotiated an insurance scheme for club members with Footman James and we've been approved by DVLA for validating V765 forms... not bad for the first few months
We have been surprised at how quickly the news of our club has spread and at how quickly new members are joining. We'd also like to thank you for all your good wishes and other comments you've made.
Not only do we have a programme of runs and meetings, but there are also several interesting ideas about other events being proposed. See the Events page for more details.
Our newsletter is called "The MAC" and the second edition went out to all members at the beginning of March. (If you're wondering where the name MAC comes from - have a look in our glossary.) We're keeping the newsletter simple (We recommend you to try Iceni CAM Magazine for all the things we don't cover in our newsletter) but we've started a little feature called Spotted where we pick on one or two interesting machines we've seen at recent events. If you're not a member and are wondering what it's like - the first newsletter is available on-line in the Moped Archive.
Yes, EACC T-shirts are available already! We have sizes M, L, XL & XXL, all at £9 each. Call Danny on 01473 659607 or to get one. And, while we're on the subject of regalia, what about EACC badges?
The badges are here at last. The 'standard' version is a 28mm cold enamel badge in maroon and gold with a brooch fastening. We also have a 'Rider's Badge' in black, red and silver; this one is 25mm diameter and also has brooch fastening. But that's not all...
... we have embroidered badges too. These are in red and blue and are available in three versions: with a black, silver or white background. They are 74mm (a shade under 3") in diameter. All types of badge are £2.50 each plus 50p for UK postage (any quantity). If you'd like any of these, send a cheque (payable to EACC) to Andrew at 7 Unity Road, Stowmarket, IP14 1AS, or Mark at 52b Levington Lane, Bucklesham, Ipswich, IP10 0DZ. They'll also be on sale at our events, of course.
And, if that wasn't enough...
...you could also have an EACC key ring. These are only £1 (plus 50p for UK postage).
Although the club is only a few months old, we can trace our roots back to 1981. We have revived the original EACC logo that Andrew Roddham designed 26 years ago. To continue the 'retro' look, our membership application form is also based on an EACC membership renewal form from the 1980s.
There is more about the early days of the EACC in The Moped Archive.
