Just wanted to share some news with you all..........or just anyone that will listen really !:grin2

For the last 3 months my boy has been training with the IMPS motorcycle display team, hoping to be a given a permanent position. They currently ride 250yams.
This weekend they went away for a team building outward bounds course which was the last stage of his training........

He has just phoned me and told me he is know a permanent team member !!!!!!:clap:clap:clap

Downside is he will have more holidays than me cos they already have displys planned in Edinborough (military tattoo), Moscow (first team to put on a full display in red square !), and america !
Last year they had 2 weeks in the bahamas !!!!!!!


Not bad for a 13 yr old !!


Proud of ya kid !!!!!!!!:clap:clap:clap:clap

Brilliant.

When I was in my twenties my girlfriend's uncle Roy Pratt was the main man behind the IMPs. (Started it originally for underprivelged kids) We took a load of them to Scotland in the 80s. Tough bunch of lads.(although f ing hard work as well:grin2)
They did a trek across the Sahara on quad bikes around that time (on a route the British army failed I seem to remember). One of the Lads who Roy adopted was about twelve then and carried on with the rest of the trek after breaking his arm.
Haven't really paid much attention to them over the last few years but Roy is extremely hard to impress (if he's still doing it) and if any of the youngsters from then are still involved with it now as adults then the standards are gonna still be very high.

You've every right to be very proud of him.:)
