Inside our Winter Edition is: Community Support Services Information Christmas recipe Upcoming Events Feature Article How To Get Involved WHAT DOES SHARED HOUSING MEAN? The delivery of shared housing is now an action in the Programme for Government 2016 -2021, and the Department for Communities is committed to delivering approximately 200 shared social housing units per year as part of the Social Housing Development Programme. The Programme for Government shared housing is badged "Housing For All." Each shared neighbourhood such as Abbeyville Place, Whiteabbey is supported through the development and delivery of a five-year Good Relations Plan. The Good Relations Plan is managed by the Housing Association developing the shared scheme and it includes ‘bonding’ programmes which are delivered to the new shared neighbourhood residents, and ‘bridging’ programmes which are delivered between the new shared residents and residents from surrounding communities. COVID-19 Community Response Life in Whiteabbey Presbyterian Church has returned to a sort of normality and whilst many of our activities continue online, one or two groups have managed to meet in the building within the current covid guidelines. Like many groups at this time of year we are planning our Christmas activities and whilst we are unable to gather as we would normally have done for the Christmas Fair, Carols on the Steps and our annual service of Carols by Candlelight, we will be busy producing material for access via our YouTube Channel and Facebook page.

Instead the beginning of the end but, instead, it became a haven for real road race of creaking and rocking, the event is right back to the top of the motorcycle specialists who were keen to pit their wits against the Mountain Course, tree, continuing to maintain its status throughout the world and attracting the most challenging and demanding course in the world.

  • Cultra Hillclimb Programme Copy.Indd
    Cultra Hillclimb 10th Anniversary Revival Saturday 11th September A partnership event developed by the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum and The Thoroughbred Sports Car Club (NI) with the co-operation of MCUI Ulster Centre Sports Promotions Ltd Historic Hillclimb On the 6th May 1905 the gentlemen of the Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club gathered at the Kennedy Family Estate, now the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum, for a motor meet and hillclimb event. The unique co-operation between the Museum and the Thoroughbred Sports Car Club (N.I.) revived this early piece of motoring history in the year 2000 and established Cultra as the oldest active motorsport venue in the World. Today’s Event Welcomes Kris Meeke, the reigning Intercontinental Rally Champion, who will perform Course Car duties and meet visitors at the GoMotorsport Display Area. After a five year break Cultra Hillclimb returns with an enhanced format that will see vintage motorbikes run at a Northern Ireland hillclimb for the first time this century. Alongside saloons and sports cars from hillclimbing, rallying and racing, single-seater racing cars will compete at Cultra for the first time, the whole field spanning eight decades in a celebration of Ulster’s motoring heritage. There will be a number of demonstration runs by the motorbikes and cars featuring a Formula 1 car from the 1960’s and the only woman driver to have won the Irish Hillclimb Championship. One of the newest forms of motorsport will be represented by a local car that competes in the European Drift Championship, a highly specialised sport where success is judged by how long drivers can hold their cars in a controlled sideways skid! Visitors can view all the participating cars and bikes and meet the drivers and riders in the Paddocks where a Formula Masters car, as raced by retired Formula 1 drivers in their own series, will also be on display.

  • Barry Wood – One on One
    Barry Wood – One on One Ask anyone involved with the MGP or TT to recommend an approachable, reliable “go to” guy, be it for some historical knowledge of mountain course events, including results and other statistics, or for some help learning the circuit itself, and the name Barry wood is most likely to be your answer. A born and bred Manxman, and proud to be so, Barry had a mountain course career spanning 3 decades, first lining up on Glencrutchery Road as a newcomer in 1988, and bowing out in 2007, after almost 20 years of competition which saw him visit the winners enclosure on many occasions, being particularly successful on the classic machines, but also no stranger to the podium on the modern stuff either. Whether mounted on a classic bike, a Grand Prix 250, or an unpredictable 1000cc superbike, no-one showed more enthusiasm and commitment, or rode harder than Barry Wood. TTwebsite recently caught up with the unassuming Willaston man for a pint of Okells and a chat. Barry in the 199 Manx Grand Prix www.ttwebsite.com March- 2017. Pics by Bill Snelling of TT Race Pics Barry Wood – One on One Q: Who has had the most influence on your life and why ? A: If we are talking about racing, it has to be an Irish rider called Pat McGlaughlin, when I was in my late teens Pat used to stay with us during the MGP & Southern 100, he also used our friend Phil Quayle’s garage up the road to work on his race bikes, Pat was a great fella, a true grass roots, hard living, hard riding Irish racer, and a great character, in those days I was a keen helper, doing the fetching and carrying jobs for him and the rest of his gang, this involvement with Pat and the boys was a huge influence in my formative years as a budding racer, and my ultimate decision to race the roads.

  • We Don't Care….We Ride There Newsletter of The
    Sept 2011 Newsletter of the Fremantle Branch of the Ulysses Club of Australia Inc Price No 123 $1.00 Hello again, It has been a good month for riding and I have taken any excuse to get out on my bike and enjoy spring. I even took Coral’s Breva on the plod last Wednesday and don’t tell Coral, I had a ball on it. This little bike is a dream to ride and just eats up the twisties. Just give it a sniff of a bend and it dives into it with ease and says give me more when it comes out the other side. I would like to add a sports bike to my stable but perhaps should not as they really bring out the mongrel in me and make me feel 30 years younger. Unfortunately I missed Spence’s ride to the Ballidu Sheepdog Trials, a ride I really enjoyed last year. Reports from those that attended and photos from Wendy Rayner suggest that it once again was a fun day. Just as a point of inter- est the banner photo on the Fremantle web site was taken at the 2010 Ballidu Sheepdog Trial. Our attention now turns to branch pride and preparation for a titanic battle against those “Potty Men” in the Ten Pin Challenge. I will be collecting monies at the September meeting from those who put their name on the bowling list. If you want to be part of the Fremantle cheer squad and support your branch just turn up at AMF Bowling 38 Pattersen Rd Rockingham at 7pm Friday 16th September.
