Memorial Meet 2011, April 30 UK

[riceburner]

Background: for the last 10 years some of the members of an internet forum called "Visordown", have met up to commemorate the memory of our friends who we have lost. Most of us have moved forum once or twice, but we still meet up once a year to renew old friendships, make new friends - especially those strangers who have helped us out online, posted interesting things on forums or just sounded like interesting folk; and of course, remember our lost friends. (for more background, read this.)

The Memoral Meet has always been an open event for those interested in forging new contacts, and this year, the 10th year we've run it, it would be great to see as many new people as would like to attend.

The Main event is the group meet up on Saturday 30th April, between 12 and 2pm. With luck the weather will allow a nice ride, on good roads, by all means join up with mates for a rideout (I just ask that you ride in a suitably sensible fashion, given the nature of the meet), and stop for a lunch with like-minded new friends.

MAIN EVENT DETAILS

The Memorial Meet will be held at 12am-2pm, on Saturday 30 April 2011, at Lumb Farm, Derbyshire (website). The pub does pretty good food for lunch, and are well stocked. There's plenty of parking room for cars & bikes and for those who wish, I'm sure that they'll have the Royal Wedding displaying on a screen somewhere.

If you would like to post below that you're coming that would be great.
(If needed, you can contact me on my mobile, although signal in that area isn't the best: 0.7.8.7.0 - 6.0.6 - 4.5.5)




For those who are interested in extending the weekend, we are also organising 2 nights of camping at the same location (Lumb Farm).
The Friday is a "getting to know you" evening, and the Saturday night will be (basically) a continuation of the Memorial Meet of the afternoon. Lumb Farm kindly allows us to make a large bonfire, which becomes the center of the evening.

For camping details please see this thread on "The RevCounter.com" (Utilising 1 thread allows me to organise everything much more easily, you shouldn't need to register on that forum, just read the details).
Please private message me for payment details if you are interested in coming for the camping - it is £15 per head.

Any questions, please feel free to ask me, either on this thread, or privately.

If there's anyone thinking of coming up for the camping, could you please consider getting your booking in, I have to settle up pretty soon with the location in order to retain the booking!

AS said above, post me a private message for further payment details.

Just a quick boing of the thread - and unfortunately I'm having to announce that the price is now £15 per head.

Due to poor research on my part I forgot that I charged that price last year - only just come across the relevant information.

I hope this doesn't put anyone off attending if they were considering it.

Less than 2 weeks to go, any more UK riders want to come along?
