Great day! Really really enjoyed the racing. Great to see everyone and thanks to Rally for organising our spot and anyone else who lent a helping hand.

Sadly only about 12 of the rumoured 26 degrees showed up but nevermind!

I had a great half weekend. A cool ride down on friday and a chance to follow a muck spreader on the A342

Then a night in Devizes for chips and beer and meeting some nice people. I love you lot down there, your so welcoming to a stray. A very mild hangover for me but I had a great day and got home safely and indoors to clean the car out for 6pm.
Met the Fogmeister again and Mr Rutter all battered and frustrated

Why the hell are M1100's so economical that you dont want to believe the fuel light. 150 miles and no light. Awesome economy and was averaging 70/80mph all the way on m4/m25

(Correct road added!)

great set up Rally, hope you got home in time for the carnival...

Sorry I was in the car, but was the best choice in the end given the motorway slog and pillion

Good to catch up with people and put a few new names to faces.

Like Bex, a hugh thanks to all who came along and helped out, in particular Stuart and Alun for making me aware of the day and the things I forgot - food, puck..
Great racing and the chance to talk "Josh" with Micheal Rutter toped my day

On the plus side, it may not have been tropical, but it beat todays heavy rain!
Mrs Steve was pleased to meet you all and now says she needs her own Monster.
If only I had found an 1100 evo to show her......

Thanks to all for your comments but also for turning up which made it the great day it was. Also a big thanks to S4RS Mack who got up early to help put the stand together as well.

Here's a few snaps from the day.

Taking it easy!

Just wanted to add my thanks too -lovely to see some familiar faces from Mallory and meet some new guys too

PMSL, Char and I make for excellent ambassadors for the club don't you think?!

Good day at the track - and looks like it was perfectly timed weather wise - absolutely throwing it down here today.............

Thanks to all involved and with the added bonus of a magical mystery tour trying to get round Devizes carnival (Stu / Bex - we pulled in at Shrewton for fuel).

Went to Castle Combe Yesterday. Camera of course had to go with a slightly biggger lense I have been wanting to take to a race meet. Didn't realise the Monster Club were going to be there. Nice to meet up with a couple. We were in a MPV as the twins we have need baby seats.

Some great pictures there from both of you. I particularly like this one from Steeevvvooo. As well as most models being represented, this also shows most colours available over the years!
