UKMOC M.A.D. Weekend - 17th/18th June 2006

UKMOC
M.A.D.
WEEKEND
17TH-18TH JUNE 2006
************************


Here it is folks, the event you’ve all been waiting for!

Rides out, bike show, bands - Crimes of Passion and All Except, raffle, and plenty of beer!

Even free camping!




People have been saying that they want something big up North, well this is it!

The idea for this event has been in the pipeline for quite a while and has transformed from the idea of a basic meet and ride out into a full weekend with a difference.





The UKMOC M.A.D. Weekend will be held at Squire’s Café<--(link) about 15 miles east of Leeds, a great rural venue and easy to get to from just about anywhere. The nearest village is Sherburn in Elmet which has some B+B accommodation if needed.
There's a link to a list of accommodation here.


The weekend will start with a rideout on Saturday afternoon followed by food, beer, and a couple of up and coming bands called Crimes of Passion and All Except will be playing for us on Saturday night! On Sunday we’ll have a small bike show with prizes and another short rideout. We’ll also be having a raffle – the prizes will depend on my blagging skills.


This event will be something a bit special, not just because it’s a 2 day-er but mainly because we want to make this a fund raising event for a children’s hospice in Wetherby. This is where M.A.D. comes into it. M.A.D stands for Make A Difference and is a concept which dazzi-b and myself have come up with in order to raise money.
The hospice – Martin House - is almost totally reliant on donations and they provide their much needed care and support for free.
^^^^^^--- There's a link to their website here - if you’d like to see what they do for yourselves.
We feel that this is a very worthy cause and anything we can raise would be very much appreciated by them.


As far as I know, this will be the first club event dedicated to raising money for charity. If we can make a success of this weekend then it could be the start of an annual event!


I don’t like asking for money but you can’t raise owt without asking can you?
We’d like to ask you for a donation of £10 if you’re coming for the weekend or £5 if you come for one of the days.

Everything raised will go to Martin House. Their Community Fundraiser, Alison Wragg will be coming to Squires at 10am on Sunday so we can present the cheque to her. Any money which is donated after that will be banked and a cheque will be sent directly to Martin House. We'll tot up the grand total after the weekend and final amount raised will be posted on this thread.

Hiya Nonnie,

Check this place out, it's less than 5mins away from Squires on the bike or about 15/20 by foot (it's a bit dark and lonely though on foot)

Camping....... Oooow must of missed that bit. I dont do camping tents are so not practical for me. Nowhere to plug my hair dryer in for a start. So if I do the weekend it'll be b&b for me to.

[Nonnie]

Thank you for hotel info!

I'm just not the outdoors type.

Just a quick note.........

If you do a search for B&B/pubs/hotels around the Sherburn-in-Elmet, South Millford or Garforth areas it should throw up a few results.

The White Swan in South Millford is a decent place and there's a couple of good B&Bs in Sherburn-in-Elmet.

And before anybody comes up with it.................NO YOU CAN'T!!!!! (I know my place will be empty)

[Nonnie]

OK! We're on the list.

I'd rather not know about your movements thanks Nonnie, it's bad enough that I know every detail of my childrens toilet habits without knowing about those of my friends!




ahhh, you didn't mean that kind of movement did you?




You can put your name down anyway Nonnie, we just want to know how many are interested so we can get some idea of numbers.
