littlecat Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 ripley is even nearer to me than winster..worth a look.. but i would travel if people deemed somewhere further afield a better choice
littlecat Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 how about MFN itself??? large camping field, always loads on ... is it worth finding out if they have a function room ???
Susieque Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 MFN is ok Cat - we went there 4 years ago but there were several reasons why it wasn't really right for our Rally.
Stu Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 yeah i think there was a fair few reasons why we didnt go back to MFN cant remember why though!
mattycoops43 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Are there any farms around there that do low maintenance camping? would be cheap to camp in a field somewhere with just a toilet maybe, but not sure what we would do about karaoke etc, could we do the evening in a big barn and bring our own, or is that a bit unrealistic?
Bonniebird Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 The Vic Bikers Pub has camping too but I was guessing that there is a reason we don't go there.
Stu Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 The Vic Bikers Pub has camping too but I was guessing that there is a reason we don't go there. I've heard its a right dive! how true it is I don't know how about hiring a track for the weekend
Susieque Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 The Vic Bikers Pub has camping too but I was guessing that there is a reason we don't go there. Mandy I'm pretty sure they were one of the ones I phoned last year (amongst many! ) and they wouldn't let us have our own drinks.
mattycoops43 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 how about hiring a track for the weekend Oh YEAH BABY!!!!!So up for THAT one!
Stu Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 how about hiring a track for the weekend Oh YEAH BABY!!!!!So up for THAT one! at about 8k a day i cant see it happening
TC Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 How about the Miners standard.We know the staff are slow and rude, But the location and facilities are good, plus we can get away with pretty much what we want.Its the Faulty towers of the camping world.
littlecat Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 how about hiring a track for the weekend Oh YEAH BABY!!!!!So up for THAT one! at about 8k a day i cant see it happening bloody shame tho....camping in the paddock at mallory sounds like a good option
archiec Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Maybe a slightly further north venue may encourage more scots to come?Definately techno yorkshire would be good or cumbria but roads more busy there
Takanta Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 further north would be nice. that 5 1/2 to 6 hr drive each way absolutely killed me, never been in so much pain lol
Jixerman Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 how about hiring a track for the weekend Oh YEAH BABY!!!!!So up for THAT one! at about 8k a day i cant see it happening Vicki is loaded.................... allegedly
mealexme Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Any idea what day/days next years will be? I have just signed a contract to work weekends, and I need to officially give them about a years notice for holiday :/(although, unofficially it may be ok to give a few months)
eastanglianbiker Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Any idea what day/days next years will be? I have just signed a contract to work weekends, and I need to officially give them about a years notice for holiday :/(although, unofficially it may be ok to give a few months)book off every weekend in july next year then knowing your luck it will be in june
hammer5 Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Soooo go on then, what did you all do to have to change venue???
Stu Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Soooo go on then, what did you all do to have to change venue??? Didn't read the first few posts then? WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VENUE not they had problems with us
Tankbag Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I deffo going to 2013 meet I couldn't go this year with work commitments, I really haven't a clue where to book but I do like some of roads in Shropshire, staffordshire, Derbyshire, Wales, so anywhere round there would be great, or whereever.
hammer5 Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Soooo go on then, what did you all do to have to change venue??? Didn't read the first few posts then? WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VENUE not they had problems with us Well of course I did stu, so what was wrong this year?
techno Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Mainly tbh the place isn't big enough if it was raining we wouldn't have the room in the pub, but there were run ins with the landlady etc.Basically with the money they take off us they should be at our beck and call lol
Tiggie Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 staff had a crap attitude, think it was craig who nearly didnt get his booked and paid for breakfast because they decided he wasnt coming for it, despite turning up at 9:40 when Breakfast was served between 9 & 10. price of the drinks varied depending who was behind the bar and what they felt like, bottle of cider was £3 Friday night and anywhere between that and £3.50 by Saturday night.just shows what bloody good company everyone was as I still had a fantastic time and am already planning next years costume
