OCTOBER 2011

WE ARE REALLY SORRY BUT WE HAVE TO IMPLEMENT A PRICE RISE FROM OCTOBER 1st 2011, OUR PRICES HAVE REMAINED LARGELY UNCHANGED FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT LIKE EVERYONE THERE COMES A TIME WHEN WE HAVE TO RENEW OUR INSURANCE. OUR NEW POLICY, DUE OCTOBER 1st, HAS GONE UP BY SEVERAL THOUSAND POUNDS, ALL DUE TO THE COMPENSATION CULTURE LED BY NO WIN NO FEE CLAIMS LAWYERS. WE ARE INFORMED THAT OUR GOVERNMENT ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE TAKING STEPS TO CURB WHAT IN MANY CASES ARE CLAIMS FOLLOWING VERY MINOR BUMPS WHICH AT ONE TIME NO ONE WOULD HAVE BOTHERED ABOUT BUT HAVE NOW BECOME BIG MONEY EARNERS, NOT SO MUCH AT THE COST TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES BUT TO THE POLICY HOLDERS WHO ARE BEING ASKED TO FOOT THE BILL, AND ALSO TO YOU....OUR CUSTOMERS.

TO COVER THE EXTRA COST WE HAVE HAD TO RAISE PRICES BY FIVE POUNDS PER HIRE, NOT PER DAY, SO ANYTHING UP TO A WEEK IS £5 EXTRA.

AT LEAST WE ARE STILL IN BUSINESS AND OUR SERVICE IS SET TO CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER YEAR.

MAY 2011.....MIKE SUFFERS A BROKEN ELBOW WHILST OUT CYCLE RACE TRAINING, LOOKS LIKE BEING A LONG REPAIR JOB, UNFORTUNATELY THIS WILL LIMIT OUR SCOPE FOR DOING DELIVERY AND COLLECTIONS, BUT WE
