All Riders participating in this event must be at registration point on the day at 2pm, all of this information will be sent prior to the event.

Don't forget we don't just want you to come to Newcastle for the race event (Although we'd be disappointed if you didn't), there are many other ways you can enjoy yourself with your family or friends if you want to make a weekend of it.

A Vibrant city with an amazing night life to match, a huge indoor and Outdoor Shopping area to satisfy both the Ladies and the Gents, to the many Cafe's, Restaurants, Cinema's, Parks, Museums and Art Galleries... the list is endless. Add to that Newcastle being drawn up in the list of Europe's top 10 Nights out, it is sure to offer you a great stay in the city. For those who like a good party atmosphere there are many many clubs, pubs and bars, ranging from your Irish bars near Central Station, to your hidden "house music" clubs, to "The Gate" a great indoor area with 2 nightclubs, several restaurants, and the Cinema on the top floor. For those who like to party hard, there is always "Digital: Newcastle" who host some of the best dance DJs in the world, as well as some of the best up and coming artists.

For those football fans out there... of course there is the monumental St.James Park with there new "Shearers" Bar named after the legend himself, football ground tours and the club shop.

If there is not enough reasons to come and visit the city then maybe you may fall for the brilliant architecture or the view of the many amazing bridges that cross the River Tyne all lit up at night.

So get yourself to Newcastle... and why not make a weekend of it! Enjoy your stay!

 yeh and might I add I know all the money goes to a really good course for us but really but £65 is enough to feed about 50 people for a year in some places of the world and personaly if giving to a good course is your goal I think I'd ratherd give it to fight world hunger, no offense to steven but compared to some people hes lucky

please dont take this the wrong way

 they cant show the course until the race weekend, otherwise riders from local areas will go and practice thus giving an advantage and also causing the council and police to stop the event before it starts.

 ok if it wasnt for us younger riders there wouldnt be any racing as the younger ones are the up and coming stars
  • 1 0
 And if it wasn't for us old skool faithfuls paying their dues by supporting this bastardised sport from the beginning, events like this wouldn't happen and there would be no race scene in the first place. Have some respect! Masters is quite often a bigger category than Youth or Juniors an many races.
