Anniversary Weekender 2023

Ok, please don’t laugh…… ok well giggle a bit….. this is the best I can do at the moment, every day a school day and all that.

Front page grabs your attention I hope,this generates a thread which I have locked so don’t respond on that thread,use this one!

I don’t know how to link the front page to this thread!

Hi folks, it’s been some time since the original post regarding an anniversary weekender for which I apologise, events of the last couple of years have certainly had an effect on the hospitality sector and presented a challenge.

The die was cast for the location following a weekend trip last year to Yorkshire, the North York’s moors are stunning and it’s an area we have not frequented in the past. It’s also a designated National Park which appears to attract a premium on accommodation,however after much searching and a couple of false starts a suitable venue has been found that is within riding distance of the great outdoors.

The Bridge Hotel and Spa at Walshford located just north of Wetherby it is an easy route for those coming from the south and the north .

This post will grow in the following weeks as details are confirmed, I thought it was important to get this “out there “ so folk can make plans, the call to use this venue was made within the last few days so . There has been activity going on in the background I can assure you, there has been a transition in the UKMOC management team and activity to celebrate the 30th anniversary so brace yourselves for some posts!

Rates are as follows, please post up interest, I have reserved 15 rooms hopefully we can fill them and enjoy a weekend of Yorkshire hospitality together.


Double/twin, £131.00 plus evening buffet £18.00 x 2 ,£36.00 = £167.00

Single, £116.00 plus evening buffet £18.00 = £134.00


Friday 23rd June, arrive Friday depart Monday after breakfast.

Hope that good with everyone, It’s 30 years since the monster hit the streets…….let’s get this party started ……

Sensational effort Mike, well done, I know you and others been working hard at this for a long while.
I hope more folks will give some serious thought about attending this one, especially as it's the 30th anniversary.
Attendance was very good at the 25th anniversary bash, but since 2019 the Weekender has had some very hard knocks, starting with losing our dear Buzzbomb! Then the Pandammit!

Let's push the boat out..

Thanks Mike for your tenacity with organising this year's weekender.
Most folks won't be aware of the number of false starts with hotels leading to today's announcement.

As mentioned, after a lovely weekend away last year, Yorkshire as settled in as the destination for the 30th anniversary bash.
Great roads with stunning countryside awaits the attendees. Along with maybe ice cream by the seaside.

Let's see how many different models turn up to celebrate.

Well done for organising this Mike & in my neck of the woods as well!

We will be still on our road trip in the Dolomites & Italian lakes so unable to attend which is a real pity. Have a great weekender everyone & enjoy Yorkshire!
