NEWS: Museum celebrations boost footfall by 40 per cent

Footfall at the National Motorcycle Museum has risen 40 per cent after a series of events to celebrate its 30th anniversary.

National Motorcycle Museum open day

The climax came on Saturday, 1 November, with the “Museum Live” open day. The milestone event saw thousands of visitors join the museum in marking its heritage and successes since first opening its doors in October 1984.

The open day included a range of free attractions and family-friendly activities, featuring free museum entry, indoor trade displays, autojumble, wheelie machine and even the chance to “try a bike” in a controlled off-road area.

Highlights of the day included ex-GP rider and television commentator Steve Parrish who conducted chat-show-style interviews, and live race machine ‘start ups’ in a special “stars on stage” feature.

The day culminated with TT superstar John McGuinness drawing the winning ticket to win a Vincent Rapide motorcycle worth £40,000 in the museum’s anniversary raffle prize draw.

Museum director James Hewing said: “We are very proud to be celebrating our 30th anniversary. Museum Live was a fantastic way for us to say thank you to the public for their support over the years and we are pleased to have been able to celebrate our achievements with everyone. We’re looking forward to the next 30 years!”

Museum Live followed a year’s celebrations which saw the venue host an installation of a pop-up art gallery and stage a photographic competition.

Photographic competition results are:

1st Prize: Luxury Break at a UK Best Western hotel- Mr Robert Bracher- “The Black Shadow”.

2nd Prize: VIP Museum entry/tour & lunch for five-Mr Anthony Jinks- “Goldstar”.

NEWS: MCN launches Save Our Roads Petition

MCN is launching a Save Our Roads petition today to encourage the Government to implement a proper plan to improve them.

MCN claims:

• The Government raises £33bn through tax on petrol each year, yet none of this revenue is allocated to road maintenance.

• 18 per cent of Britain’s roads are classed as being in poor condition.

• 70 per cent of people are dissatisfied with the state of UK roads.

MCN points out that the road network is Britain’s most valuable asset (Action For Roads report, DfT 2013), yet we currently spend less than one per cent of its asset value maintaining it.

MCN has a three-point plan:

1. 2p from the 57.95p that the Government takes from every litre of fuel should go to preventative road maintenance. This guaranteed income of around £1bn would allow highways authorities to plan maintenance properly. 

2. The Government’s Code of Practice for road maintenance should be rewritten for 21st-century traffic conditions and budget constraints.

3. All road authorities should have a competent Asset Management Plan, forcing them to think long-term about road maintenance.

The MCN Save Our Roads Petition encourages motorcyclists to send out a message to the Government that it can no longer ignore the danger to motorcyclists caused by potholes and deteriorating road surfaces.

The petition can be found at www.motorcyclenews.com/saveourroads
