Monster Weekender 2009!!!!

Pedro · 25-11-2008, 07:56 PM

Yes folks, it's that time again to start preparing for the 2009 Monster Weekender at Arrow Mill.

Over the course of the coming weeks various threads will appear regarding booking rooms at the Mill, suggestions for activities & rideouts, requests for volunteers etc etc.

So get your thinking caps on for the activities (karting, minimotos etc) and I'd be delighted to hear from people offering their time in helping plan this event and to help out over the weekend.

Oh, and if anyone knows of a witch doctor or shamen that can guarantee us some sunshine, please let me know!!!

Well hopefully around 15 Belgians are meant to be coming over. The Saturday run was great this year and the pub grub was good. We need to take them to Fish Hill as they dont get to ride up and down hills much.

Nonnie · 25-11-2008, 08:03 PM

Karting was excellent last year and you know how much I love mini motos.

I'm happy to do Forum Awards.

Hi, I would love to come over to the u.k. with my son for the monster weekender next year, is there any lower age limit ? He will be 10 at the time.He has no probs with bikes as he is 3 times junior Guernsey sandrace champ and loves monsters.
Cheers Aurigney.

Yeee haaa!

Me and Rog are happy to provide our navigational skills (and hi-viz jackets) again for the Saturday ride out.

Follow that hyper!

Yep - 1st bank holiday weekend

Pedro,

I'm happy to do bike competition again trophies this year, and also up for judging again if needed. Can Sazza sort badges like last year? They fitted the trophies a treat

It would also be good to sort a few on bike cameras & hand-helds to shoot footage. Assuming we get weather suitable for filming it would be nice to produce a weekender DVD?

Have cam, will travel

Happy to do that Gary. As it should be a bit less last minute this year, we can get a nice design done. Any volunteers for that?

i can help if you want sazza

PS will there be a tow rope to go along with hi viz and nav skills?

oh and aurigny if you get the ferry over to uk to pompy you and your boy are welcome to crash here before going up me and nicki should be going up too

Matt - I was hoping you might have fixed your bike by May? Or are you hoping that we'll re-introduce the "Rat Bike" category in the bike awards...

No age limit at all but a lot of time is spent in the bar so you might want to check they're ok with a 10 year old. I sure if he's a big drinker it won't be a problem.

I think as you said before Pedro a back stop activity is necessary for the weather, the car museam or the bike museam seems ok for that and the benefit with the go karting was that it was inside and wasn't dependant on the weather, but still lots of fun.

LouSCannon · 26-11-2008, 10:21 AM

Loners welcome or is it a family \ couples thing? Not sure if my other half would like to come along, but I fancy it seeing what fun you lot had this year... was all a bit too last minute for me this time round.

J.P · 26-11-2008, 12:22 PM

We'll take anyone that comes, however they come.
