So who wan't to pick the date and get the ball rolling ?
all i ask is we choose a nice sunny day this time please.

Paul,
Any idea of even what month is likely?
Would love to get a few troops rounded up and skip over the puddle to meet up with you guys.
But as always depends on dates and costs (and if I have a bike finished in time!!).

Vic

P.S. Rhory says I have to ask you what the story is behind the tiger face???

dunno pal, may june july which ever the masses (you) choose.
Be great to have some of our western cousins over for a meet.

Tiger face - well there is a bit of a story here.
Gareth and Rhory popped over 4 years ago for the BSB round at oulton and stopped at mine for a few days.
we went for an indian one evening at my local curry house, and at the table next to us was a family of 4 obviously celebrating someone's birthday. the lad had been face painted like a tiger which in itself is nothing odd - however the lad was about 16 - 17.
So all of us pissed (esp Gareth) and you can imagine the one liners throughout the meal "theerrreeee Greeaat" and so on not to mention the laughs. this family never even broke a smile or showed there was anything wrong while sat next to a table of drunk piss takers.

anyway it looked a bit like this

Grrrrrrrreat stuff, july would be my preference

Ok, i'll keep an eye as the thread progresses and see if something can be arranged.
it would be good to put faces to names and thank some of the people who've helped me with my projects this far.

As Vic said - i could well be tempted for a trip across on the ferry.

that's the spirit.
why not tie it in with a BSB round or something ?
look my house is small, but if willing and happy to camp i got a decent sized garden, or use local B&B for the evening, keep bikes secure at mine. happy days

Thanks Paul, thats very kind. Do we need to bring our own face paint?? :)

Lol - brilliant

EDIT to add, being on the doorstep of north wales, we got some pretty amazing roads over here and i know the best of them all plod free.

I would love to get over for this but I need to see how the funds are after the birth etc.
but I can hand on heart say Gareth and I had the best time , the BSB was fantastic for the racing , and the ice cream !!!!. The roads to the ponderosa where brilliant. Meeting everyone at raf cosford was good but I'd liked to have more time to speak to everyone, it's not that we where rushed but I feel I didn't get time to speak to guys.
It really was a cracking few days and I can't thank paul enough for putting us up and dealing with me walking around his house in high cut off jeans !! (Sorry again about the carpet !)
Tiger face was the best and I hope Gareth still has the picture.
