Susieque

I'm bringing mine Simon! They'll go a treat with the fancy fress outfit I've got!! That's if it arrives in time!

Mark, fully appreciate that you don't want the van messed up before your holidays! We wouldn't expect you to for one minute! Dunno if Pen has spoken to you but Vicks has bought a big new gazebo and hopefully it'll arrive in time.

Spoken to Lee at MFN again today to check that its ok for Akey to use the leccy hook up, which is fine Conversation went on along these lines: Me: Hi, is that Lee? Lee: Yes speaking Me: Its Sue from TMBF about the Rally Lee: Yes Me: I'm just enquiring whether it would be ok for Mark who came last year, to use your electric hook-up for his campervan again please? Lee: Yes thats fine. Is there anything else? Me: Thank you very much. No thats it thanks Lee: How many people have you got coming? Me: Well we've got 40 that have said they're coming and maybe a few more on the day Lee: You do realise that the weather forecast is bad for the weekend? Me: Yes I saw there might possibly be showers on Friday but Sat & Sun are looking better Lee: Well you know that if you only have 20 turn up there's no way I'm opening the bar for that many Me: There should definitely be more than that Lee: Ok, see you Friday Me: Thanks very much, bye Just thought I'd let you all know!

We will have the means to play some music for our entertainment (leccy permitting! ) Thought it might be nice if everyone coming makes a disc with their Top 10 favourite choons of all time and brings it with them. Might tell us a lot about each other!!

We're meeting Sheepy at 3pm at McDonalds on A38, so however long it takes us to get to MFN from there! I'll be in the car if you need a lift

Where's Mrs TC gonna fit on the bike TC????

Hope it all went well for you!

That's brill Skittles!!! Well done!

Great news!!!

Somehow I think Rennie and me will be a tad hungover that day!!

Looks like you've got yourself a job then Gareth!! I wonder if you'll be so keen when you've got a hangover!!

Thanks Carleen! Shame you can't make it though!

Trying to remember what they told me in my lessons. Think it was mainly front with a bit of back in normal conditions, but the opposite in the wet. Or could it be vise versa???? Or is Susie dreaming it all up!

Cheers guys! I've taken BBQ apart so it'll go in the car (I hope - just have to bring fewer clothes!! ) Simon, that'd be great if she's got another BBQ - don't want her using her gaz up cooking tho. And TC, thanks for the call & vote of confidence!

Edit above!! I'll bring BBQ, napkins & ketchup and I'll go and buy charcoal when I get there. People will need to either bring or go and buy what they want to cook.

Thanks Mark! Think I've got it sorted. I'll bring my BBQ - it's not huge but big enough I hope. We'll do bacon roll for brekkie on Sat & Sun and hot dog & burger each for tea on Fri & Sat. I'll go shopping to Morrisons after we've got there & divvy the cost between everyone. That sound fair enough for everyone?

It's got no legs Jo, and Willow doesn't think they'll have room for it in the van. I'll bring mine somehow!!

He'll say he didn't backtrack but no point bothering with that now - it's happened. I really don't know about watching TV in the bar - maybe we'll have to see when we get there. I think it depends if he or his parents are around to keep an eye. Doubt he'd want us drinking our own drink in there though. EDIT: I've just had my toolkit out and I can dismantle my BBQ. I'll get it in the car somehow!

Thanks everso much Claire! I'm a bit p'd off that he's changed what he originally said, just because there are only 40 people going. But he says he didn't say he'd do it in the first place! Makes me feel like I've let people down although there's nothing I can do about it!

It's up to those going whether we get them to open the bar - I can PM everyone and go with the majority? If we don't want them to open it then I need to let them know ASAP. We could do with some leccy tho for music. Could try taking my BBQ apart and getting it in the car

I'm really not sure. TBH I got the impression he didn't really want to open the bar at all for so few people! I'm not a happy bunny - dead embarrassed!

you mean for qualifying on Saturday or the race on Sunday Mark?

Am hoping thats what we can do Stu - just need to get hold of a BBQ. I've got one but not sure I could get it in my car

Hi all you Rally-Goers!! I have spoken to the guys at MFN today - just before the event as requested by them, to confirm final arrangements. To cut a long story short they seem to have backtracked on a few of the things they will offer us for our Rally, because of the relatively low number of people attending. After some negotiation they have agreed to us camping in the field alongside the car park, using the toilet facilities etc, and they will open the bar from 7 - 11pm on Friday & Saturday nights. However they WILL NOT lay on breakfast baps or BBQ food for us to buy, saying it's not financially viable for them to do so! This means we will somehow have to do our own food. I will have my car there, so I can go and get supplies - apparently Morrisons is very close - if we all chip in some money. I am hoping that someone can come up with a solution for doing some cooked food? Maybe someone living fairly close has got a barbecue that we can use? I can't fit mine in the car! I'm really sorry about all this - I did what they asked us to do. I feel I've let all you folk down but I don't know what else to do.

thank god for that!! Fed up with our riders being injured!!!!
