Weekender anyone?, 2021

So there I am discussing the current situation we all find ourselves in with the CEO of the firm I work for, he also owns a Hotel. A very nice Hotel. Was chewing the cud about the Rossett and how difficult things are what with wedding cancellations and the like...............fast forward a few days and his manager gets in touch, I get the chance of 24 rooms . Its the only weekend they can offer availability next year with the exception of February or November ! A seed was sown, yes its in Barrow-in-Furness and all the rooms are doubles but Weekender 2021........... lets see shall we.

Here is the deal at the Abbey Hall Hotel,


Friday 25th June
24 bedrooms at a rate of £125 per room, based on 2 sharing and includes an Italian Style Buffet event in our Alfresco area and terrace, also includes breakfast

Saturday 26th June
24 bedrooms at a rate of £125 per room, based on 2 people sharing and includes a set 3 course dinner (with Vegetarian/Vegan option) in the Great Hall, also includes breakfast

Sunday 27th June
24 bedrooms at a rate of £125 per room, based on 2 people sharing and includes a BBQ in or Alfresco area and terrace, also includes breakfast

There was originally 20 rooms but they released more to facilitate single occupancy at the rate of £85 per room.

Its a stretch North ,however this does hopefully appeal to our members North of the Border.It would be great to get you guys along.

Apologies for the timing of this post, given the latest directives regarding social gatherings, but this is next June.......surely we will be out of this mess by then ??

���� I don’t come cheap!!��

OK Folks I have just had a conversation with Donna,who will be the contact at the Abbey Hall. Tel:-01229 838282

I have just paid my deposit of £50-00/head on my CREDIT CARD.She will not be taking any funds from that card until nearer the event.I did this just to get some good faith going really.

She does not want any more deposits from anyone else at this stage, happy for me to forward a booking list OR individuals can contact the Hotel direct, quote "Ducati Weekend" and you will be allocated a room.

We have agreed to review the deposit situation in November, she fully understands the current "caution" due to government guidelines etc and assures me that if the event is postponed due to COVID no deposits will be taken.

Hi is there a rough program for the weekend ?

Hi Nigel,

The weekend is still in its embryonic stage and will be tailored to meet the attendees. The intention is to make it the attendees weekender. To explain I have had interest expressed in a couple of locations in the area which I would like to incorporate in the ride outs,

Devonshire Dock
Ravenglass railway
Conniston ( bluebird museum).

Because of the distance travelled probably choice of short /long rideouts and lots of evening relaxation !!

Hope that wets the appetite !!

[the lodger]

Nigel, you are most welcome along, great stuff consider it done.
