Deepest regrets, apologies etc.

You wouldn't want me there. I'm a grumpy c**t at the best of times, and the ongoing shite with buggered necks and so on has improved neither my sociability nor my love for my fellow man. I would dearly have loved to spend this weekend with you all, but 'fun' is off the agenda at the moment. And I don't even have the excuse of a mother-in-law.

1) We would want you there as you are part of the fixtures and fixings.

2)Yes you are a grumpy c**t but we wouldn't change you.

3)It is important that you get yourself fighting fit mate. we will arrange a meet at buxton soon dude.

Great to see the usual suspects but such a shame Mart and Pete and Nick etc etc couldn't make it. many thanks as usual to Jay and Sally for their hard work to make it a fab weekend.

Hope you all had a good ride out too.

There won't be another mid year meet through ridersite hosted by myself.
Sorry to disappoint.
They were good whilst they lasted, but they are bloody hard work.

Thanks.

Usual sincere thanks I didn't need the speeding ticket though
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Now come on Geoof /Jeff/ whatever - if you didn't crash on a roundabout, and no-one crashed into you, and you didn't arrive home on a flatbed - you can't complain abut a piddling speeding ticket!

Absolutely understand jay. Its a huge amount of work for which we are all really grateful. You and sally (and parents) have done us proud over the last few years.

It will be sad if we discontinue these "meets" all together and there's no reason why we cant simply meet up and camp, eat in the pub and do our own breakfasts etc. We've been spoilt by Mart's and Jay's hospitality.

Thanks again Jay and Sally.

Understood and no wucking furries. I've seen the efforts you've all made and really appreciate them, but it was a hell of a lot to take on.

Anybody fancies rocking up in a field somewhere or at someone else's do just shout. I can do a couple of days on a bottle and some super noodles.

Right folks.

Having spoken to a few of our members there is interest in a meet up as people want to catch up annually.

I have booked the campsite for the weekend commencing Friday the 23rd of june next year, but this event is not what you are accustom too.

This meet you will be fending for yourself with catering and cooking your own breakfasts etc.

I am happy to collect bacon eggs and basic items for the breakfasts etc on the Friday with prior arrangement from those wanting to attend. and collect beer.

The least I can do is bring the fire pit and some wood for the cool evenings.

There will be no BBQ on the Saturday, but the pub should be open both Friday and Saturday, or we can ring for pizza burgers etc.

I am sorry that there is nothing similar to previous events but believe me after the weekend I am knackered.

I too like meeting up for these events and meet the crowd.

I hope the usual people can make it and others besides.

I would like peoples thoughts on this and need to know if people would like to come along as I can cancel the field if need be. Thanks......
