Weekend Workshops

Gwent Police are coordinating BIKESAFE CYMRU in association with the Road Safety Wales and Gwent Road Resource Centre with the objective of reducing motorcycle collisions on the roads of Gwent and further afield.

To help achieve this objective, a series of two day rider skill workshops have been arranged for 2008:

19/20 April,

28/29 June, 
5/6 July LADIES ONLY,

The workshops, run by Police Advanced Riders, are a mix of theory and practical sessions and will include on-road assessment rides, information videos, motorcycle related first aid and other relevant issues. The workshops are designed to enhance the skills of all riders who have already passed their tests, and are particularly suitable for those that may be returning to biking after a period of absence and sports bike riders.

The fee is £80 and includes all of the above plus the provision of resources (Roadcraft manual etc). Overnight accommodation is not provided but details of local establishments can be provided, if required.  To book a course, print off and complete the application form or for further information contact Jan Bibby on
