Gweev Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 The last time we kitted out the wife and kids, it was at the Ally Pally, and we came away with arms full of bags lol. Last time at the NEC I just bought a new helmet.I think we might give the NEC a miss and just do Ally Pally. Its after Xmas afterall, so we may have xmas money to spend.... .G Quote

Guest Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Im probably going, whats ally pally anyway, never 'eard of that one. Alexandra Palace - the London show used to be held there but it's been moved now but not improved, so I hear. Quote
Guest Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 NOPE !Not after the last 2 we went to, both were crap with loads of empty spaces. You could almost get an echo at the last one we did in 2005. Quote
houdini Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 brummieland is closer than the smoke, mind Im debating whether Id save anything or trawl through tinternet. I have said to yoroy tho that it would be good to meet and kick each others tyres. Quote

Guest Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 So when is everyone going then? Gonna get myself down there either Fri/Sat/Sun. Have given up trying to find winter gear on the net so fingers crossed I can get sorted at the show. If anyone wants a lift from Stockport way I'm happy to drive. Quote
Guest akey Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Having been last year, we are going this year (ticket already in hand!!)However for anyone that can I would really suggest going during the week, much quiter and room to go see all the bikes, kit and racers etc without being squashed all day!Willow and I are going to the NEC mon 26th but we will be staying overnight the night before in the hilton on the NEC site. If anyone else is going that day let us know. Quote
Guest Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 We will be up on the 25th Akey. So if you are about that evening, drop me a line, and could meet up after the days events Quote
chicane Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 probably going on the 29th in the Rexton so we can get all the goodies home Quote
Guest Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 28th by train so I can have a drink and, if drunk enough to buy stuff, I can carry it home again Quote
queen bodecia Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Trade day (22nd I think?) with work... Quote
houdini Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 A few of us are thinking of Sunday the 25th, will get round to putting it in ride outs but more of a meet and natter about the new bikes on show, oh and a few shandys for those that arent driving lol.Been pondering the idea on making it a meet point, got this months TWO magazine saying the info on. Halls 1 2 n 3, went last week to the NEC and not sure but the main entrance I went in was by hall 3, spose theres a main entrance at hall 1 but if we do meet we'll meet outside hall 3; so I can have a fag lol.

Guest Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Could all those who are going do me a BIG favour please?John Ward, one of the head honchos in the FBoS scheme will be there for at least some of the time.I am trying to get a date for a course from him with a view hopefully to be allowed to deliver the courses myself, but he is dragging his feet.If everyone visits his stand, it will be near MAG and Bike Safe, and just mentions my name it will hopefully get the message across.Ta!Phil Haigh Quote
Guest Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Was thinking of going midweek to beat the crowds...so if anyone is dropping by then and wants to (give me a lift..ahem) meet up, gimme a shout! lol(anyone around the north east or above that is) Quote
bex Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 i am going down on 24th and round the show on the 25th. medtec is going the same days. Quote
