UKMOC M.A.D. Weekend - 17th/18th June 2006

UKMOC
M.A.D.
WEEKEND
17TH-18TH JUNE 2006
************************


Here it is folks, the event you’ve all been waiting for!

Rides out, bike show, bands - Crimes of Passion and All Except, raffle, and plenty of beer!

Even free camping!




People have been saying that they want something big up North, well this is it!

The idea for this event has been in the pipeline for quite a while and has transformed from the idea of a basic meet and ride out into a full weekend with a difference.





The UKMOC M.A.D. Weekend will be held at Squire’s Café<--(link) about 15 miles east of Leeds, a great rural venue and easy to get to from just about anywhere. The nearest village is Sherburn in Elmet which has some B+B accommodation if needed.
There's a link to a list of accommodation here.


The weekend will start with a rideout on Saturday afternoon followed by food, beer, and a couple of up and coming bands called Crimes of Passion and All Except will be playing for us on Saturday night! On Sunday we’ll have a small bike show with prizes and another short rideout. We’ll also be having a raffle – the prizes will depend on my blagging skills.


This event will be something a bit special, not just because it’s a 2 day-er but mainly because we want to make this a fund raising event for a children’s hospice in Wetherby. This is where M.A.D. comes into it. M.A.D stands for Make A Difference and is a concept which dazzi-b and myself have come up with in order to raise money.
The hospice – Martin House - is almost totally reliant on donations and they provide their much needed care and support for free.
^^^^^^--- There's a link to their website here - if you’d like to see what they do for yourselves.
We feel that this is a very worthy cause and anything we can raise would be very much appreciated by them.


As far as I know, this will be the first club event dedicated to raising money for charity. If we can make a success of this weekend then it could be the start of an annual event!


I don’t like asking for money but you can’t raise owt without asking can you?
We’d like to ask you for a donation of £10 if you’re coming for the weekend or £5 if you come for one of the days.

Everything raised will go to Martin House. Their Community Fundraiser, Alison Wragg will be coming to Squires at 10am on Sunday so we can present the cheque to her. Any money which is donated after that will be banked and a cheque will be sent directly to Martin House. We'll tot up the grand total after the weekend and final amount raised will be posted on this thread.

Please make cheques payable to "Make a Difference" and pm either myself or dazzi-b for the address to send it to

If anyone has any questions or can help out in any way then please feel free to pm me or dazzi-b.

Don't let him drink too much....................

I would consider it an honour. Put me down for both days please!

You can add my name to the list and I'll try and talk some of my mates into it as it's for a good cause

Can anybody come? I've got a few non Monster mates who might be interested. Can I ask them or are they banned cos they ride Jap 4's?!

How come he's so quite? He usually jumps at a trip out.

If anyone wants to brings friends along that's fine by me as long as they don't mind donating Just let us know how many will be camping so we can tell Squire's how much space we will need.

Desmodog...... I was wondering about Scotty too , there's still plenty of time for people to get their names down tho'. Hard to believe I only posted this thread 5 days ago!!!!!!

dont know yet, depends how my bike is doing after i throw it off a cliff

Depends how high the cliff is, but as a basic rule I think it's 1ft/sec per sec, or something like that.

Tigerlilly, have you posted this up on the Ducati up North site?

It's just testing you to see how much you love it!


It wouldn't be the same without you there, you're the keenest member in the club! I hope you get it all sorted Dave, best of luck with it.





Desmo.......I've not posted on Up-North yet but I will do .... I want to check a couple of things with Squire's first, but I should be putting something on later

Those of you who have kindly offered to help out with raffle prizes, would you be able to sort them out by the end of the month? That way I can arrange to collect them and have everything together in one place.


Any other offers of raffle prizes greatfully accepted



Thanks to those of you who have sent cheques already

I've got my best blagging hat on and an excuse to see the nice Ducati man so I'll see what I can wheedle out of the showroom for ya!
