The only one of those that might work for me is 23rd March

You could run a Doodle Poll to find out when most are available (but don't necessarily to guarantee that the "most popular" date will prevail as other factors may need to be considered when you decide on the final date)

http://doodle.com/?locale=en_GB is where you need to go to set up a poll.

I'll keep watching over the weekend to see if we have any other takers, then we'll firm it up.

So.... no more responses just now so let's pencil in 23rd March. .... weather permitting

I think this meet holds the record for the gathering of the most number of Falcos (13 from memory but I can't be bothered to look at the previous threads!)

We'll firm up the times during March.

No problem Jay. I'll do a roll call nearer the time and see who's up for it.

That date should be fine with me Dave.
Just another point, the first Newark meet at around this time did also qualify for the possibly the wettest Falco meet.
I remember riding through almost 12 inch deep flood water coming off the fields on the way back home, and the Falco was a sort of matt version of bronze when I got back, (I was in similar condition).

It was wet but I think the Durham weekend still reigns (sic) as far as the wettest, most soggy riding event in forum history.

Hi all,

Is this just a meet for the day or w/end? Newark have any secure parking for our rides? I have had my water lungs fitted just for the occasion :smt002 147miles in swimming mode sounds like the bike will need an over-haul when I get back....

This will be a challenging ride since not ridden in six months. Bike almost back together :smt003

It's a there-and-back-in-a-day type of thing Greg.
