NORA CRS Development Team Complete First 2026 Boot Camp at Fraddon Moto Park

July saw the first of the NORA CRS Development Team Boot Camps take place at Fraddon Moto Park, giving our riders two full days of intensive coaching, development and valuable time together as a team.

Led by our Team Coach, Joe Clayton, the boys were able to sharpen their skills and build confidence through his wealth of on-track experience.

We were also honoured to welcome Coach Robb Beams from Complete Racing Solutions, who travelled over from the USA to share his expertise with the team. Having both Joe and Robb working together made this first boot camp a standout opportunity for our riders!

 

 

Two Days of Learning, Development and Teamwork

Across the two days at Fraddon, the riders were able to make the most of having two experienced coaches on hand, each bringing their own knowledge, approach and expertise to the training.

It was also an opportunity for the team to spend valuable time together away from race weekends, strengthening the bond between the riders and their families while continuing to work towards their individual development goals.

For Team Manager Gemma Barton, the first boot camp couldn’t have gone much better:

“The first bootcamp of the year left me almost lost for words — what an incredible couple of days! This was, without doubt, the best bootcamp we’ve held to date. I don’t know if it was the unbelievable line-up of riders, the families who bring such positivity and support, or the fact we had two top-tier trainers on site for both days, each offering their own individual expertise… whatever the combination was, it just worked. It was amazing.

For me, the highlight was seeing the bond these boys already share and the dedication they bring to becoming the best versions of themselves. Watching them enjoy every moment while still working hard, soaking up every bit of knowledge Robb and Joe offered, was genuinely brilliant.

I’m already excited to see what the second bootcamp brings next month — if this one was anything to go by, we’re in for something special.” – Gemma Barton (Team Manager)

 

 

 

The Riders’ Perspective

The two days gave the riders plenty of opportunity to work on specific areas of their riding, learn new techniques and experience the different approaches Joe and Robb bring to coaching.

For Ronnie Morgan, it was his first boot camp with the team:

“I was excited to attend my first boot camp with the team at Fraddon and what made it even more special was having Coach Robb fly over from America to work with us. Joe and Robb pushed us hard but I had so much fun doing it as well. One thing I learnt was some new front brake drills. It was also good finding out the things they do differently in the USA.” – Ronnie Morgan (SW85cc Rider)

Freddie Joyner also reflected on the amount of track time and the opportunity to learn from both coaches:

“I had an absolute blast at our first boot camp! I feel very lucky for the opportunity given to me and the potential NORA CRS, Joe and Coach Robb can see in me. It was a great eye opener to the dreams that we as riders are all dreaming about.

Coach Robb and Joe Clayton were amazing and really made use of the time we had there, I had so much seat time and loved every second of it. Thank you so much and I’m very much looking forward to the next one.” – Freddie Joyner (BW85cc Rider)

For Oliver Bardoe, some of the biggest takeaways came from developing his technique into the corners:

“I had a lot of fun at the Boot Camp at Fraddon. It was great to meet Coach Robb and have him there training us with Joe. It was good to spend time with the team. The thing I learnt the most was front brake in the entry to the corners and the leg work. Looking forward to the second Boot Camp next month.” – Oliver Bardoe (250cc Youth Rider)

 

 

Next Stop: Brookethorpe

With the first Boot Camp complete, we’re now looking forward to heading to Brookethorpe this August for the second of our two-day boot camps.

It will give the boys another opportunity to sharpen their skills, continue putting what they’ve learnt into practice and develop together as a team ahead of the final round of the NORA92 British Cup Championship at Gossington!

Affiliation Terms

NORA affiliation is conditional upon compliance with NORA Rules and Regulations throughout the affiliation year, running from 1 January to 31 December.
The organisation/club is responsible for its own supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation and operational procedures. NORA affiliation, or the issuing of an RTA permit, does not mean NORA has checked, approved or accepted responsibility for those documents.
NORA reserves the right to suspend or revoke affiliation, licences and permits where an organisation fails to comply with NORA requirements or where serious concerns are identified.

1. Annual Affiliation and Compliance

Affiliation with NORA 92 Limited trading as NORA Motorsport (“NORA”) is granted on an annual basis, commencing on 1 January and expiring on 31 December of the relevant calendar year, unless suspended or terminated earlier.
Affiliation is not automatically renewed. Each organisation/club must complete the annual affiliation process and receive confirmation of acceptance from NORA.
By applying for and accepting affiliation, the organisation/club agrees to comply with all applicable NORA Rules and Regulations, policies, procedures, safety requirements and permit conditions throughout the affiliation period.
The organisation/club acknowledges that continued affiliation, the issuing of Road Traffic Act (RTA) exemption permits and access to NORA licensing and insurance arrangements are conditional upon ongoing compliance with these requirements.

2. Organisation/Club Responsibilities

The organisation/club accepts full responsibility for the planning, organisation, management and safe operation of all activities and events conducted under its authority.
This includes ensuring that appropriate documentation, procedures and safety measures are established, maintained, implemented and enforced.
In particular, but not limited to, the organisation/club is responsible for:
Preparing, maintaining and implementing its own supplementary regulations, ensuring they comply with applicable NORA Rules and Regulations.
Preparing and maintaining appropriate health and safety documentation, including risk assessments, method statements, emergency procedures and event safety plans.

Ensuring that circuit certificates are in place, valid and adhered to where applicable.
The organisation/club acknowledges that responsibility for the adequacy, accuracy, legality, implementation and enforcement of its own supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation and internal procedures rests with the organisation/club.

3. NORA’s Role and Limitation of Responsibility

NORA provides the regulatory framework under which affiliated organisations/clubs may organise and conduct approved motorsport activities.
Affiliation with NORA, or the issuing of an RTA permit, does not constitute confirmation, certification or approval by NORA that an organisation/club’s supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation, risk assessments or internal operating procedures are adequate, compliant or suitable for their intended purpose.
Unless expressly confirmed in writing, NORA does not undertake responsibility for preparing, reviewing, verifying or approving an organisation/club’s internal documentation.
NORA shall not be responsible for any failure by an affiliated organisation/club to prepare, maintain, implement or comply with its own supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation or internal procedures.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, NORA shall not be liable for losses, claims, damages or consequences arising from such failures by the organisation/club.
The organisation/club acknowledges that NORA affiliation does not transfer responsibility for the safe and compliant organisation of events from the organisation/club to NORA.
Nothing in this Agreement excludes or restricts any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

 

4. Road Traffic Act (RTA) Exemption Permits

RTA permits issued through NORA are granted strictly on the understanding that the organisation/club and the relevant event will comply with all applicable NORA Rules and Regulations, permit conditions and regulatory requirements.
The issuing of an RTA permit is conditional upon compliance with NORA’s regulatory framework and does not relieve the organisation/club of its responsibilities under applicable legislation or its own supplementary regulations and safety procedures.
An RTA permit must not be interpreted as confirmation that NORA has independently inspected, verified or approved all aspects of an event or the organisation/club’s internal documentation.
Where NORA becomes aware of, or has reasonable grounds to suspect, non-compliance with its Rules and Regulations, permit conditions or relevant safety requirements, NORA reserves the right to:
Refuse to issue an RTA permit.
Suspend or withdraw an RTA permit already issued, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Require corrective action or additional documentation before permitting further activities.
Suspend or terminate the organisation/club’s affiliation.
Suspend or revoke any NORA-issued licence or authorisation, subject to the applicable licensing rules and procedures.
NORA may take immediate action where it reasonably considers this necessary.

5. Non-Compliance and Withdrawal of Affiliation

Compliance with NORA Rules and Regulations is a fundamental condition of affiliation.
Where an organisation/club fails to comply with these requirements, or fails to maintain and implement appropriate supplementary regulations, health and safety documentation or operational procedures, NORA reserves the right to investigate and take appropriate action.
Such action may include suspension or termination of affiliation, refusal or withdrawal of RTA permits, and suspension or revocation of NORA-issued licences or authorisations.
NORA may request evidence of compliance, including copies of supplementary regulations, risk assessments, health and safety documentation and other relevant records.
Failure to provide satisfactory evidence of compliance may result in the suspension or withdrawal of affiliation, permits or applicable licences.
Where reasonably practicable, the organisation/club will be given an opportunity to respond to identified concerns. However, NORA reserves the right to take immediate interim action where necessary for safety or regulatory reasons.
