To Whom It May Concern,

I am Secretary of Bradford & District Motor Club, my name is Stuart Cameron
and I am contacting you regarding the Single Payment Scheme that is to
be/being paid to farmers in the UK, and its affect on off-road motorsport.

As many of you will be aware, any, and more than likely ALL, off road
motorsport is under GRAVE threat of extinction due to the new SINGLE PAYMENT
SCHEME being paid to farmers nationwide.

Is this the EU, Labour Government's and DEFRA's way of protecting the
countryside but forgetting the many organised motorsport activities that
take place in and around the country every week?  It is ONLY these events
that it will affect as it will not stop the "I will go anywhere" brigade. It
is not only the concern of riders, drivers etc, but also the support
industry. Bike, Quad, 4x4 dealers etc will all be affected in one way or
another.

I am trying to organise a petition to be given to the new government as soon
as possible after the election. I am looking for emails/letters of support
and any help whatsoever. Remember this will near stop ALL off road
motorsport.

Please don't sit back and think this will not affect me, if you are involved
in off road motorsport in any way IT WILL !!  Just take 2 minutes to send an
email or letter of protest PLEASE.

If any organisations have already arranged their own petitions could you
please let me know so that we can work together  and present a united front.

The BIGGER the pile the better !!

If you have already signed a petition DO NOT sign other petitions because if
the powers that be see duplicate names it will de-value the petition.

If you are in the process of organising such a petition / protest please do
let me know.

Emails should be sent to:

defrapetition@(removethis)bradfordtrials.co.uk

all email address will be erased after the petition is presented to the new
government/DEFRA.

NO EMAIL ADDRESSES WILL BE GIVEN OUT TO ANY OTHER PERSON / ORGANISATION.
