Hats off to Sally and Jay for the splendidly well-organised bash; I can see I'm going to have to up the ante for the next Marches Meet.

Thanks to everyone, old and new, who turned up and made this such an entertaining, amiable and enjoyable weekend.

Special thanks to Keith for his award-worthy gymnastic display, and to Dominic, who's showing promising signs of being a rising star in the RiderSite tradition of excess.

Thanks Sally and Jay for your hospitality and hard work all weekend, and to Jay's dad and Sally's mum too.

Great to see everyone.

Looks like I posted my tuppence worth in the wrong section, so here's a copy:

It really was great to meet the characters behind the weird forum names and the posts that I've been reading over the past few years. The craic was superb; thank you all for for your warm welcome to the "off-line Ridersite". An especially big thanks to Mr and Mrs Blinky for their excellent organisation and hard work to make it a success. My camp kitchen gear has travelled 525 miles this weekend wthout being used once and I made it all the way home today on Jay's breakfast!

To those who haven't attended a Meet yet, I can assure you that it's worth the trip. 19th June 2015 is in my diary.

That looks like a fiendishly well stocked BBQ. Really must make it for Friday and Saturday night next year. It was great to meet up with peeps before the rideout, but I appear to have missed the major part of the gathering...

Agree with all the comments above. Thank you to everyone for making it a great w/e and especially to the organisers and cooks!
Couldn't wish for better company. Like Dusty, my new stove didn't make it out of the box. Thankfully, really, cos couldn't have produced snap as good as what Blinkey and Sally produced.
Hope to make it next year as WILL be retired by then, despite my Sarah wanting me to stay on at work to pay the bills (and support an expensive youngest son). Just had another thought as well. Was thinking about having a 65th/retirement do sometime so must invite all you guys if I do. Hope to get our Ben to resurrect his band, Chess Peace, to provide some music, although he doesn't know it yet. Check em out at www.soundcloud.com and search for Ben Tipper. Ignore latest stuff, as uni work, just look for Chess Peace, preferably the songs live at the Corp.

Great weekend, many thanks to Sally and Jay for all their work, and everybody else for helping and just being there!
Unfortunately family issues cut down the time I could be there, so just took a gamble and headed for Willingham, hoping to catch you there.
Was a bit gutted when I got there, and couldn't see anybody, then the first group turned up followed 5 or 10 mins later by the second lot and all was fine.
