Latest News
This week is all about the Bay Gateway, officially opening to the public on Monday and pretty much the best thing that has happened at Heysham since I became a junior member in 1997. I must share a few stories so far of drivers that have ventured out onto the road, including a few visitors who have come direct to our door boasting of the time the whole journey took.
I tested out the road last night and can guarantee it took eight minutes from the golf club to junction 34 and that is without breaking any speed limits (for our police readers). We had a person drop by from an area near Wilpshire who made the journey in 30 minutes. Chris our assistant came here from Scorton in 23 minutes (it can often usually take him 1 hour). We even had someone come from Halton in 11 minutes, admitting it usually took him 11 minutes to get into Lancaster before crossing Greyhound Bridge.
As you can tell we are very excited so look out for more posts on Facebook about the road, special offers for new members and I am planning a video of the journey for our various websites. So, readers, members, ex-members, members of other clubs and the lurkers in the background, as Delia Smith once said in front of 25,000 people; where are you? Let's be having you!
