Motor Cycle
Tours and Trips - throughout the year individual members of the Club organise trips for Club members which can be anything from a ride-and-meet-for-lunch to a continental tour. Recent successful trips have included a four day tour of north-west Scotland; two overnight tours to the west of Ireland; a 9 day trip to Germany and France including a visit to the Nurburgring, Le Mans circuit and Normandy beaches, and a number of trips to spectate at motorcycle sporting events. We are always glad to see new members with new ideas!
FBPMC National Motorcycle Trek Series - running since 1986, this competitive series for both teams and individuals has evolved over the years into something resembling a navigation challenge blended with a treasure hunt. It has become a tradition that we host the opening leg of the four events in the annual series in April each year. The ‘NITREK’ as it is now known has become a firm favourite amongst our colleagues from Great Britain and is consistently the best attended of the four legs in the annual series. Up to 90 motorcyclists, many bringing their ‘favourite pillion’ descend on our base hotel from all around the UK and Ireland for a fun packed weekend of competition with a healthy social aspect. The idea is to devise a challenging light-hearted competition, whilst introducing a visitor to Northern Ireland to some of the great biking roads and scenery we have on our doorstep. In turn, many of our members travel to different areas of Great Britain each year to compete in the other three legs organised by various Police motor clubs. Not without success either, as many honours have been brought back to Northern Ireland over the years.
Rider Improvement - the Club encourages members to take an interest in improving their own riding skills and promotes the activities of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). Some of our members are directly involved with these organisations as ‘Senior Observers’/Examiners.
Meetings - the Club meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 8.00pm. (a new venue is currently under discussion)
Points of Contact - The club is keen to hear from anyone interested in new membership and also previous club members who have ‘drifted away’. Why not come along to one of our meetings and find out more? You are assured of a warm welcome. For further information contact any of the following:

Rambling/Hill Walking
The Plodders Rambling Club became affiliated to the RUC AA in January 2007 although it has been in existence for approximately 10 years. We are a group of individuals who meet two or three times every month to walk in areas including the Mournes, Antrim Hills, Donegal and Rathlin. Our walks can range from 5-6 hour walks in the shorter winter months to 7-8 hour walks in the summer months. We also organise trips away twice a year, usually May and September, to places such as the Lake District, Snowdownia, Scottish Highlands and Kerry. These usually include at least 3 days of intensive walking. We have also completed an 18-day trek of the Everest High Passes in 2006 and it is our intention to carry out an ascent of Mont Blanc in 2008. We cater for all abilities and standards throughout our annual programme although it should be stated that some of the walks do require a good all round level of fitness.
Although this is a strong club we are always keen to encourage and welcome new members.
Details of the walks or copies of the programme can be obtained by contacting the following through the internal email system or at the extensions listed.
