Happy New Year!!

T'was a good year me thinks. Looking forward to the next one, looks like some exciting things are on the horizon for Dept.26, cant wait!

A month or so back I asked if anybody had any ideas for the Blog, Jago suggested some more 'How to' videos, I'll be looking into finding more of those. Large suggested a weekly question, such as "What are the best winter tyres" for example. Ill be putting this into action in the new year. Another new feature Ive dreamt up is is VOTING which Im using for the first time today!

2 Videos have been created (one by me, Ben10, and one by Nick Trem) from the same footage. You can watch them both below. Vote for your favourite!!! 

On the upper right hand side of the screen there are some black boxes that pop out when you roll over them. The top one is our new voting system! Click on it and you can pick your favourite video. Its just a bit of fun but it could also be used to decide on the best dates for a race or ride, what are peoples favourite options for the annual trip, where should we have the Christmas party, is Ben10 a legend or a dick head? The possibilities are endless!

DISCLAIMER: THIS NEW VOTING THING WILL NOT WORK ON IPHONES OR IPADS ETC! 

So... here are the two videos.

First up, NICK TREMLETS video.



Next up, BEN10'S video.



VOTE WISELY! Ben10.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK

Here is the vid from the Dept.26 annual trip to Wales, this year it was Afan. I think everyone had Afan-tastic time. I would like to Afan-k Brett Higham for the footage and Matt Haden for falling off into those bushes. He was ok, he didn't need an Afan-bulance.


PHOTO(S) OF THE WEEK

Classic Cornish proper job bike transporter! Mr Nicklin heading home in style after a sesh in the woods.
