OhJay Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Trying to sort out holidays for next year and make sure to book all the priorities before we see how much we've got left and how much else we can do.We got any dates for the rally yet? Quote
RantMachine Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Yeah, I need to start carefully planning 2016 so that the BMW's one week of working properly falls on the same week as the rally Quote
Glorian Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Yeah, I need to start carefully planning 2016 so that the BMW's one hour of working properly falls on the same week as the rally Fixed your typo. Quote
RantMachine Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 At least I made it there the last two years, you cheeky git Quote
Stu Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I haven't even got a venue yet never mind a date! I'm thinking June time again at the minute though But I am really struggling to find a suitable venue and I don't want to do the lower lode again I have found one place but it's expensive!! Quote
RantMachine Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Why not the Lower Lode? Did they do something dodgy? Quote
Glorian Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 At least I made it there the last two years, you cheeky git Haha not my fault i was crippled by a chinese bike first year and chilling in the sun (its a hard life) the second I'm going away mid june so hopefully the rally won't land on the same week :D Quote
Glorian Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Why not the Lower Lode? Did they do something dodgy? No, you lot all did Quote
Tango Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 One of the issues around the Lower Lode is the lack of non - camping accommodation there.......and the scarcity of taxis to take folks back to the few hotels in the area at the end of the evening........along with a few other issues.So, if anyone knows of a suitable venue that is fairly central in the country please let us know. We've been scouring the Internet for suitable places, but nothing has ticked all the boxes yet. Quote

soll Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 what things are we looking for as a venue? Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 what things are we looking for as a venue?somewhere in the middle of the country so Peterborough would be ideal Quote
Rebel Rach Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Have you looked at the Vic Bikers Pub in Coalville Stu? Quote
Throttled Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 The Lower Load is too far south for me. I went two years ago because I was already in the area on holiday. I did not go to the last one because of the distance to do in a weekend. Further north please Quote
Bonniebird Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 What's Squires like for camping?I guess there isn't a lot of non camping accommodation around there though.There's also this one in the daleshttp://www.thebikerguide.co.uk/bikerfri ... shire.html Quote
Bonniebird Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 The one in Dent is walkable to the village and the George and Dragon in Dent has accommodation and a function roomWorth a thought? Quote
Joeman Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Hard pressed to beat the regular venue IMO.Easy to organise a minibus to/from the hotels for those not camping. Quote
Stu Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Hard pressed to beat the regular venue IMO.Easy to organise a minibus to/from the hotels for those not camping. We have had better places Quote

Six30 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 My vote to ... The Daffodils and Frolicking sheep swung it for me . Quote
Stu Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 what things are we looking for as a venue? camping, B&B for those wimps that dont camp like me! pub with food options decent showers and toilets function room and as cheap as possible! also ideally around the midlands area Quote

I will check that other place out though any more suggestions welcome Quote
Grumpy Old Git Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 There is a camping site in Godmanchester adjacent to the Black Bull (recently refurbished) that also has a 'private' function room. Quote
