I believe I read somewhere but cannot find it that 2 rides were being thought about. One I think leisurely to some water place I cannot recall the name ( Burton ) and was another a long distance to a coast.. There was also a mention of Rockingham track day.
Don't quote me though

Only thing I found was this but it looks like its changed days at least.......................

It'll be good to see you Krishna, and likewise other folk who have still not managed to get to a weekender.

Since this is the "aperitif" thread I will divulge an early taster of the itinerary.

This is the main club annual bash and centres around runs out to places of interest and socialising, both at the run destinations and in the evenings at The Hotel.
You can drop in at any point or go the whole hog.

Friday afternoon/evening; folks roll up, check in and get together over an Italian style buffet. Meeting new friends and catching up with old ones.

Saturday morning features a run out to Rutland. Departing approx. 10.30am
The evening sees a three course meal, much social intercourse, fun and games.

On Sunday we have the main Annual UKMOC National run, which this year will be heading to Duxford then return to The Sharnbrook for a parade and voting for the best bikes.
There are some new trophies this year, including Concours d' Elegance, to reward those who cherish originality. Best modified/Special for those who cherish a different kind of originality, and Concours d' Grot for anyone who deserves it..!
There will also be an ongoing BBQ in the afternoon along with the prize giving.

Normal Hotel meals are available in the evening, although we have been recommended an Indian Restaurant in nearby Bedford for those with any room and sense of adventure left!

The fun continues on Monday. We have been invited to take part in Ciro's Cars and Coffee Supercar Charity Cruise. The mind boggles, but expect a generous helping of Lambos, Ferraris and other exotica.

Full itinerary will be published in good time. (Possibly!) There's still time to squeeze in stuff if anyone has any ideas of what they'd like to do.

Don't miss out on the Monster's 25th Anniversary UKMOC Weekender.

And yet the run to Duxford car show is on Sunday the 6th of May, so pretty sure the two options were switched.

The Sunday run is heading to Duxford, where we will be joining in a Car and Bike show.
If you wish to be part of this, you need to get a ticket by following the instructions here.. http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=56296

I haven't dared nail the itinerary down yet, but it looks like the main event on Saturday will be a run out to Rutland Water for lunch.
The big day will be Sunday.

It would be good to see some taking advantage of the track day on Saturday.. We might be able to swing by that way on the way back from Rutland and cheer you on.

Thanks for posting the video Moley.
I think it shows well, what a class act Ciro has got going at The Sharnbrook... Looking forward to the show on Monday.
Ciro has got an area put aside for Monsters, so anyone staying on for the Monday will part of the gig..

Oh yeah! nearly forgot... See here for details of Saturdays run. http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=56385
