cruz Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The Lode is an excellent venue and Sam the landlady is more than happy with bikers. Sadly at the moment you might find it more than a little damp for camping, I don't think it has topped over the bar yet, this year, But it's still only January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have just got off the phone with lower lode and it sounds an ideal place the only trouble is the dates!! the only have friday 13th june and I'm working all that weekend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rennie Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 the costs I was reffering to are for the use of the function room.pity about the dates!would have been a good venue!We are and have been talking about the rally, we have been since last year.

acting_strange Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 So how much would people be prepared to pay per night for a campsite with toilet and shower facilities...Do we need a function room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlecat Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 has anyone enquired about the Vic?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I mentioned the Vic....but was assured that it's a bit of a sh*thole....... I've looked through the UK Campsite website....but the search kinda forgets your primary criteria.......and things like a quiet curfew at 9:30 pm would probably not be workable......

littlecat Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 or squires?? their campings free to bikers , and im pretty sure they have a function room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 or squires?? their campings free to bikers , and im pretty sure they have a function room off their website CAMPING.Tents - We have plenty of grassed areas on site where tents can be pitched.Camping is £3 per tent per day for visitors arriving on bikes - all we ask is that no food or drink is brought onto the site as these can be purchased from the cafe. the food is shite not sure on the drink though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 oh ok, was free last time we went , but that was September, they used to advertise free camping.food wasn't horrendous last time, and at least its not overpriced, they also advertise a function room for small-medium rallies.no idea about the beer, weve always been riding the next morning so havnt really partaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Someone on the forum must know someone with a field that they're willing to let us use for free, then we just need a few portaloos (again someone must have connections to get them on the cheap) a marquee with a bar or everyone puts money in a pot and someone goes to a supermarket and buys a load again use connections for marquee, and a burger van for food which I'm sure they'd be more than happy to serve lots of hungry hungover bikers with a bit of discount. I think if we try and use members connections we could easily do it cheaply, it's just about working together rather than leaving it to a few people.

Tango Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's a nice idea Adam......but you'd be suprised how difficult something like this is to arrange. And some of the regular TMBF rally goers have back problems and the like and require a room with a decent bed...... And some people just don't like camping....so a venue has to cater for most needs...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may need your suggestion for next year Al.........there's a Bonneville riding bird not far from you that has a significant birthday in July 2015.....and we thought about having a bike rally instead of the usual party.......and the non-biker invitees and softee bikers could hole up at Brampton Hut Travel Inn and taxi in to the pub/rally.....
