NOTE:
When your satnav says ‘You have reached your destination’, keep following the B6047 towards Melton Mowbray. You will go down a steep hill – at the bottom of which is a sharp left turn. On this turn, you will see a narrow lane going straight ahead. You need to follow this lane for about 500 metres and the farm entrance is on the right.
(Note: These directions are if you are driving towards Melton Mowbray coming from the A47.
Cross the cattle grid and follow the farm track. You will need to drive through the farm yard, so please drive slowly and close all gates behind you. Go through the yard and out the other side. Drive up a hill and you will need to go through 2 gates. These gates must be kept closed at all times. Once you are through the second gate, you are in the camping field. Turn right and you should see Viking guys there.

Annual Viking AGM

2022-11-03T11:54:08+00:00
Its that time of year again. ALL committee positions become vacant at the AGM and anyone can stand for any committee position.
It is also where we make the big decisions on what’s going to happen in 2023.
The agenda hasn’t been finalised yet, but we have been asked if we can consider the helmet rule, so we’ll be discussing this.
We’ve also been discussing whether the 6 event one day challenge series has run its course. It may be time to think about scrapping what we do now and run some 2-day events instead. You’ll need to be there if you want to have a say in what the club decides.
The AGM will be at the Greyhound Coaching Inn in Lutterworth on November 12th. Every Viking member has a vote on what your clubs decides to do.
If you have something you wish to be discussed, please bring it to the attention of one of the committee members.
