The Wait is over ~2019 weekender

Hopefully see you guys at least one of the days. My first bike event! I’m starting a new job with shift work so can’t commit to anything yet until I know my roster.

It will be great to see you Yianni , hopefully we may even get a chance before the weekender I will keep you posted,

Great that sounds good.

Has anyone paid there deposits yet?

Hi Chris,

Although I understand the hotel has taken your card details at the time of booking,Sarah had said she was not taking any deposits until the end of March. I will check and post up the response.

Dacs is booked in at The hand Hotel, as far as I know he and Mrs Dacs are the only ones booked in anywhere else other than the main hotel.
Not sure if there is an official overflow Hotel, I believe Moco was going to look into local B&Bs?

Hi char, like Gazza says no official overflow hotel but dacs is at the hand, closer still is wild pheasant which was a potential venue but didn't have the capacity, may have some rooms available though.

There are some rooms available still at the white waters on Friday, 3 when I spoke to them last week, and 3 on the Sunday night but no availability on the Saturday.

That's utterly unfair - I wouldn't describe Martin as a straggler.

OK Folks, its been a while since I posted any activity for the weekender, I can assusre you things are moving a pace in the background so as well as some picture teasers we were out and about today and can confirm one of the places of interest on the Saturday ride out will be the sygun copper mine.

Met Mike, Bitza on this very forum, and had a good old chat about a visit. There is a nice cafe for a pit stop for those who dont want to venture under ground and a 40 minute visit for those who fancy the experience.

As plans get finalised I will be posting them here so watch this space, meantime enjoy the views you will be seeing in may

......sorry not sure what happened there, did the old log off and log on again fix !!!




....... sorry folks its not working, see Manchester and North West post for pics

So I have had a good chat with Sarah at the White waters, she is quite content that she has rooms reserved against credit card numbers , no deposit to be taken. Apologies to those who have paid , this unfortunately is down to different staff on the desk at the time of booking, hopefully no harm done.

Now the first bit of fun"...........we have a function room allocated to us for the entire weekend......the function room has a sound system..........sooooooo, how about each and every one of us choosing a favourite song / soundtrack , we get the Weekender playlist and it can be the background music for us during the stay, hopefully this will go down well folks......could be a tune that means something, favourite, special memory .....will be a talking point, let's get the party started...... I will get the playlist done on my spotify account thingy and away we go

Who is first ?....

[Mr Gazza]

Utopia has got a good song if he can plug his guitar in...
