Probably Friday afternoon but it might also be Sat morning. You?
Hopefully about 11.00 Friday morning, but certainly no later than 11.45 then a sedate ride to around the Norwich area (about 3 hours).
I like it early Friday cos plod aren't so conspicuous, and the xaust is a bit loud on chat, LOL.
I'm tied to the office im afraid until at least 4 or 5 on the friday

...anyone recommend a cheap, but portable tent? Don't wanna show up for the barn with a sleeping bag and get caught short. Also, is parking on grass or tarmac - do I need a puck or similar for the sidestand?

I have a tent you can borrow if you like, just let me know and I'll bring it along.

There will be hundreds of "pucks" lying around, its the best way to recycle beercans

... I'll be there friday night too... Falco front end stitched together with cable ties and hope until I get my replacement subframe. Know there's stuff planned for the daytime, but what happens Fri night -any formalities? Just sort out a spot to park and doss then what? Campfire songs?

The evening generally passes all too fast just eating drinking and sittting around the campfire chewing the fat and talking bikes and reminiscing.
The only formality we have is the compulsary sport of Gio baiting.
Of course if you want to stand up and give us a song .....
