Thank heavens GT said Hog roast and not the other kind!!!!

03-05-2012, 01:03 PM

You mean there's another kind of roast I haven't discovered?

Thanks for the offer but that's not the bit, I'd used a couple of brackets from B&Q to somehow attach it to the top of the headlight bracket. Interestingly, it's not the improvised bit that failed on this occasion

I don't have indicators anymore so have found a suitable bit of metal to bolt on where they used to be. Should be nice and secure, although I can't comment on how nice it'll look yet!

Wish all a safe journey to the Mill. Here's hoping the Weather Gods will be kind for the duration.

Looking forward to meeting & seeing the 'Class of 2012', and putting some more faces to names & handles.

I'll be in the Naughty Corner should anyone wish to pop over & say Howzit...

Thanks to Duncan, Jo and James for all their hard work on putting on another great weekender. And thanks for sorting the weather as well, I am imprressed with that!

It was good to see some new faces there and chat and catch up with the regular ones too. A very special thanks goes out to all my 'Jeeves's' over the weekend, carrying my drinks, coat, chair etc whilst I was on my crutches. You know who you are, cheers Guys.

I'd just like to give a big thanks to Jo, Duncan and James for organising the weekender, it was great to meet up with all you guys & gals who attended, and what a suprise it was to be invited Liz and Staffords wedding, blimey how are we going to cap that next year?????

gary tompkins · 07-05-2012, 03:26 PM

Top weekend

Thanks to the organiser and those that attended.... even 'Captain Tourettes' Alan C

J.P · 07-05-2012, 05:16 PM

Thanks everyone. Nice to see that the weather really brightened up, once we were home....

uksurfer · 07-05-2012, 05:29 PM

A big thank you to Duncan, Jo and Grumpster for the weekend, and everyone who turned up!!

Best bit - Gymkana

Worse bit - No prize (Zak won them for the ugliest headlight category)

Normal bit - wet ride home....

Congrats to Liz and Stafford for doing the business with a little help from Stuart and the evidence captured by Gordon

Strawberries and cream

I was at first very unsure about going this year due to the way I have been feeling... But I am definately glad I made the effort. ( Shame some others don't just for the day but hey ho ! ) A 3 hour drive in the car solo this time I arrive to be told a wedding is taking place and sadly for the first time Carolines not with me as she was unwell.
Well what else can I say but it was a hoot and for once I was just an onlooker and I enjoyed it immensely as too helping my good friend Rally when I could. I did miss not having a bike there but it was all about being there.
As always the thanks goes to Duncan Jo and James for their sterling work as always. To all the others who do work behind the scenes like Nonnie, Slob and Staford and Liz.

I hope I raised a few more quids for the club with some parts sales that were lying in my garage. It all goes to a good cause.

But just a big thanks to the guys and gals who turn up and support the club for the weekend or just the odd day.

Big congrats to Zak with the much talked about Nitro M900. Nice bike mate.

singletrack · 07-05-2012, 09:01 PM

I am really sorry I missed this weekender, but it looks like it was another good one.
On the plus side I am now a Grandma so I got to spend some time with my new grandson, Freddie x

Another good weekend at the Weekender. Thanks to Duncan, Jo and all for the organisation etc. Really good to catch up with some old friends and meet new 1's. Let alone the surprise on the events for late Saturday afternoon with a 'secret' Arrow Mill Wedding.

Look forward to catching up with all again soon.
