MAG Scotland 2009 Easter Egg Run
Regretfully we have to announce that this year’s Easter Egg Run has been cancelled.
In order to quash the usual rumours that start about these things – this is NOT due to Police or council objections. Both these organisations have been very supportive of the run.
STATEMENT FROM EGG RUN ORGANISERS
The Egg Run has been cancelled because of the construction work being carried out at the SECC, we have had permission from the SECC, to use their land – this was given last year. Unfortunately the construction work is very extensive and access to all areas of the SECC has been totally changed, and it can only be accessed from the expressway, and exit through ONE lane (last year there were three) which is bound on both sides by cones and temporary metal fencing on concrete blocks.
Having this week done another survey of the site, it is agreed that it is too dangerous to bring approx 10,000 motorbikes through the construction site. When the work at the front of the building is finished around the end of March, they will be concentrating on the back of the building – this is the area we use.
Bearing in mind we have to do a risk assessment for all parts of the run, there is no solution to the hazard of trying to squeeze 10,000 bikes through a one-way system which is laid out with cones; this is a disaster waiting to happen! This is for YOUR safety.
This decision has not been taken lightly, we have organised this run for the past 9 years, and we are just as upset as everyone else.
MAG Scotland has not disbanded, the organisers have NOT fallen out.
