07/12/18 Normandy Raid 2019
Please see below message from Mark Phillips regarding above. Anyone interested should contact him direct.
A Motorcycle Raid to the Normandy Landing beaches has been proposed for Derbyshire NARPO motorcyclists. The intention whilst there is to lay a wreath on behalf of Derbyshire NARPO to mark the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day landings.
This will be for solo riders (no pillions) and places will be limited in the first group to six plus the two guides (Mark Phillips and Jonathan Lambley).
If there is sufficient interest a second group of up to a maximum of 8 riders will be considered.
Proposed Itinerary
Day one - Tuesday 18th June, meet at Junction 25 of the M1 and set off at 4.00am prompt. Riding to Portsmouth for the breakfast crossing to Cherbourg. On arrival in France we shall ride down the Cherbourg peninsula visiting a number of places of interest. It is hoped to book accommodation in Arramanche for two nights B&B using twin rooms. Evening meals will be arranged in the town.
Day two - we shall ride out to local places of interest in connection with the D-Day landings. We shall also lay the wreath on one of the landing beaches.
Day three - Thursday 20th we shall head back up to Cherbourg for the afternoon ferry and home.
Until we have confirmed numbers we are obviously unable to confirm ferries and accommodation. At this stage the approximate cost per person including motorcycle ferry and accommodation will be £250.00.
Once selected members will be asked to transfer payments as they are made, if payments are not received promptly then anyone on the waiting list will be selected. Once payments are made there will no refunds unless another member takes that place.
Normandy will be very busy next June and bookings will be required to be made as early as possible.
If you are interested please can you email me at captainmark@btinternet.com letting me have your name, address, dob, and motorcycle make and registration number by no later than December 31st 2018. Once collated members will be notified by email if they are on the Raid, payments requested and bookings confirmed.

07/12/18 Annual Allowance Evidence Required By Police Minister
Dear Colleague
We have received a request from the Police Superintendents Association (PSA) asking for Members who may wish to share their Annual Allowance experiences, which may have been a driver for them to retire early rather than continue in service/seek further promotion.
It is a call for evidence from the membership specifically in relation to the following issue raised by the Minister (see letter)
‘What would be more compelling would be firm data on the number of candidates who exclude themselves from promotion opportunities on this basis’
The PSA is encouraging those affected Members, to write to the Police Minister at the following address police.pensions@homeoffice.gov.uk , setting out your individual experience/evidence .
Please can all responses be copied to the PSA at: enquiries@policesupers.com
