As this year is passing by so fast , i thought i would get in early and ask if any of our members have any ideas for meetings / cruises for next year .

I think we should have the big 4 , wheels day , billing , brooky and the raleigh rally.
But there is always room for more and i think we NEED to organise a meeting up north to give the northern members a break from travelling , and we can spread our wings to other areas , what do you think .
Anyone can organise a meeting , it is not exclusive to us old sweats .

i have been thinking about us having a meeting all of our own , not gate crashing other parties as it were and wondered if anyone fancied having a meeting at Mytchett in Surrey , at the Basingstoke canal visitor centre ,it is a large camp site that is quiet , it backs onto as the name implies , the Basingstoke canal and if you want we can have a gentle ride along it down to a nice pub that is situated a couple of miles away .


There are shower blocks and a toilet block on site and it is a reasonable amount per night to stay , i thought if there was enough interest i would add this venue to the 2009 calendar , also we could add this to the wheels day meeting and kill two birds with one stone as it were .
what do you think ?

Hi Steve,

I like the sound of that Buddy. The Basingstoke canal was a nice site and would be ideal for us. We could also go for a ride around in the woods behind the site as well as along the river. Everyone using Grifters in the woods though would certainly need that 3 Speed Hub working!!!!

hi steve i am too liking the sound of this plan - sounds like all the ingredients are there!  put me down as a definate maybe!

Hi steve, if we can get our own event going im all for it. im still trying to get some stuff togeather for the peterbourgh show ground so watch this space, cheers , ginger.

Just wondering how people would feel about having a weekend of our own at Mytchett in Surrey the weekend of the Brooklands meeting , so we meet down Mytchett on the saturday , spend the weekend dossing , riding , drinking beer , cooking food , and then go off to the Brooklands meeting on the monday which will be a bank holiday , how does that sound ?

still sounding good steve!

So far i have penned in the big 4 , in order of date , wheels day april 10th, Aldershot arena, Billing Aquadrome last weekend may, Brooklands weekend Surrey may 4th , Billing Raleigh Rally , also i have pencilled in a possible new meet , its in Farnham in Surrey , at a steam fair and oldy worldy weekend , 26/27th sept .
These dates are unconfirmed but thats when the b hols are
