Got to organise the bacon butty meet at Liz's too!

Oh, just let me know the date, I'm sure we can sort something out!

With such a full calender there are bound to be some dates during the long, balmy days of summer (pause for whistful sigh) when it'll be worth making the 300 or so mile round trip from the midlands to join you all, if that would be ok...?
I would try to drag a few others along too, of course.

everybodys welcome, and its always good to meet new faces, we could always travel up a little bit too! You can't be that far away.....

Liz · 03-01-2011, 10:53 PM

Martin, that would mean crossing the M4 for you!

utopia · 04-01-2011, 01:53 AM

By definition, nowhere is that far away from the midlands I guess.

...and vice-versa.

I think there might be a potential small blossoming of midland monstering, currently.
I think I need to do some organising of this latent potential.
Hopefully, this will result in a midland diary post in due course.

...and of course, everyone's welcome at those too.

Leicestershire had a very active section of members back in 2005-2007. Things changed and people moved on to other interests, but this isn't to say the area couldn't thrive as a region again. It just takes a bit of enthusiasm and perseverance from a few key members, and before you know it things could take off again. If all else fails there's always the UKMOC weekend in May, and it's more local to you as well

Midlands not so far from North Wilts and there's plenty going on up there - join the Heros ride at Wooton Basset - only a 200 mile round trip

Sounds like 'Midlands Monstering' needs sorting out a bit Utopia! Maybe a halfway breakfast/lunch meet for us all ...........? Mmm, sounds like another calendar date!

Depends where in the counties folks live, but a line from C'c'ster through Burford to Woodstock looks about half way between So'ton and Brumagem.

Anyone know of any suitable caffs thereabouts [With plenty of room in the car park]?
