Sad to report I can't make it this Saturday as Sheepy Junior is with me all weekend and he don't do pillion!

Definitely interested, again, no holidays left until the New Year though! Oh, and do we get a Boy Scout badge for it too?

I know the landlady of my local wanted to turn the place into a bikers' pub. It's a dump too. Perfect!

The Turk's Head in Donington Village could be one! I've fallen out of there many a time!

Me neither, I was busy becoming a single man again Ah well!

Around 50% for tonight for me, I'm afraid, depends on how long meeting goes on this afternoon

You know, I might be interested, but exactly where is it? I'd generally only be able to make it every other Friday though!

Sounds good to me! I have a sneaking feeling that those scooters going through Ilkeston last night might have been my oppo and his mates heading to MFN. I'll collar him today and see if it was!

No avoiding it now, link posted on main chat too!

How about trying to get the word "alliterative" in Snoops?

About twenty by all accounts! He's in a Scooter club and they have a ride out on a Wednesday, so I suggested they go to MFN to him about 10 minutes ago. He's ringing round to check out the chances as we speak.

One of the gang from work MIGHT be turning up on his scooter too, with some of his mates. The more, the merrier

Aye I will be there! Will be parking up on the "Dragstrip" car/bike park on the Shipley/Ilkeston side of the pub, arriving around 7.30-45-ish. Looking forward to seeing anyone else going.

OK, so Granny had her operation on Monday, not today and it's gone OK. This now means that I will be at MFN from around 7.30 tonight! Wahay! New thread to be started!

Telford, in the Midlands? Went there once, they all speak Welsh don't they?

Mutual best wishes all around for Wednesday then! I think all those going should have a think about meeting up on the big bike park on the Ilkeston/Shipley side of the place (the bit where the "drag" strip is). It'll make finding everyone that little bit easier. Also, echoing Snoopsies' thoughts about having a big meet there at some point in the future. Maybe not this year, but there's certainly some scope for getting a herd of us together when there's a gig on in the venue. I crossed paths with one of the guys who looks after groups' lighting at the event I was at this weekend, so maybe I'll get some recommendations! Doubtless there's some accommodation nearby if camping there isn't possible/desirable (I'm only ten minutes away and can put a few up in my wee flat) and I'm certain others in the area might be accommodating too! Just think..... themotorbikeforum does Thunder Valley!!

I may well do, yes. All depends on how my dear old Granny gets on in hospital (having a major operation on Wednesday) - fingers crossed she'll be fine though! Anyone else?

Apologies for not making it last week, as I explained to Snoops, I was locked in a big safe counting money None of it mine, I hasten to add

I trying to garner some recruits from the office - difficult when there's only 2 other bikers, one under the thumb and one on a wee Vespa lol. Having said that, if we get an Indian Summer, we night get a decent turnout again (by decent I mean a proper herd of us)

Oh, forgot to say... Nice to see you all there last night! Maybe this would make a good venue for a BIG meet-up! When it's not as cold as a Witches Tit like it was last night. Hope you're feeling better Bex and your homework is finished. And Stu, I trust your young un didn't take any totty home with her lol

Ooooh I don't live there . . . . nearby though (as you know) along that lovely sweepingly bendy road.

Just commit to the day then Mine is a Silver and Blue Harley Sportster 883C Reg **** FXO

Everyone should bring a ridiculous hat to wear! Seriously though, If everyone heads for the smaller bike park opposite the entrance to the car park outside the pub entrance, we'll be there or thereabouts. And wear a silly hat

D'oh!

D'oh! Didn't see this one! Yes, I'll be there around 7.30-ish Snoops, I'll park up round the bend (where we met up last time we were there). I'll be the one wearing the neck roll with SHEEP on it (surprise surprise!) Sheepy
