Like Ken, I'm struggling as the only real possibility for me is probably the 18th of April.
I'm off on hols to Cyprus at the end of April and May.

IMPROVED METHOD TO COLLECT PREFERENCES FOR NEWARK MEET-UP

When I suggested a Poll to help us choose a date for this event, I overlooked the fact that it couldn't easily show which dates were impossible for those voting or, indeed, give a range of dates that are possible. We could only give our favourite date.
So, in terms of understanding what is really the best date it's a bit rubbish.

Although a bit late in the day, I've found a better way - a survey tool that allows people to express all of those options - and potentially many more besides.
I think this is an ideal event to try this out - and if it works well, we can use it for other things too.

So .... sorry to ask again but please express your preferences by taking the survey in the link below:

Forum Newark Meet-Up Survey

(I've kept the choice of dates as per the original options)

Can't we just go with the fact that 18th of April looks like it won?

Sorry - was only trying to help - and test this out for future use.
I honestly think it will help us for future meeting arrangements and maybe other things too.

I thought it was good as I can go on 2 weekends but only voted for 1 in the original vote. :smt006

Added mine in. We do seem to make things complicated. :smt005

Anyway let's see what this throws up. To be honest I may go on 18th anyway plus whatever other date is favoured.

Won't be an actual bona-fide Falco owner until may 8th, so will miss this one but will keep an eye out for future events. Hope it goes well for you all, and it actually warms up a bit !!!.

Don't worry about that .... this is a Ridersite meet up not just an Aprilia or Falco only thing

Any more to add their availability for Newark in the survey?

So far 11 have voted in the simple poll and 10 in the survey.

Tomorrow evening I'm going to the in-laws for Easter and will be without 'tinternet - so I'll post up the survey results before I go so Dave can use that and the poll info to help him confirm which date he's going for.

Anyway, still time to express your preferences ... results so far are quite interesting.
