Important changes to chaingang meeting point

Fellow MFCC members, forgive the long wordy email, but this one is important for you to read please. “We” as a club have been contacted by the land owners for the Culloden battlefield (NTS) and unless there is a change in what we do and how we behave we will no longer be welcome to congregate at the Culloden battlefield car park for our Thursday night chain gang ride. The issues are twofold. Firstly there is a health and safety concern regarding our group of riders gathering and blocking the access road into the battlefield main car park. An area just off the access road has been suggested and is probably only 30m from where people normally gather. See the attached map for details. People gather where the first few riders congregate. If you’re one of those first few riders make sure you stand at the off road area indicated, or ask people to please move to the correct area.This was happening towards the end of last season, but I’m not sure if people knew why we stood in a different meeting area. You do know why now and you all need to keep insisting that people gather at the right place. Secondly, the battlefield and the wooded area to the side of the car park are actually war grave areas. Previously (and I include myself in this) the wooded area has been used as somewhere to have a last minute “toilet break” before the ride. This is to stop with immediate effect and anyone seen heading into the bushes must be told that it is out of bounds,...
