Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I hoping to go. Have to wait n see what work comes in. Being over a few days I should get there. Quote
Stu Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Yup Monday 18th for us Hotel all booked already The 18th is a Sunday we are going down on the 18th and staying over night and going on the Monday but you probably guessed that Quote
Tango Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 We normally go on the Friday......work permitting. ...... Quote
SometimesSansEngine Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 I have a few days holiday left to take this year, and my wife usually has a random day off in the week. Is it generally worth a two hour trip to go up there for two new bikers? Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Yep is sure is, the newer you are the more marvellous it is!I tend to aim for the beginning days of the show- staff aren’t jaded and everything’s in stock. Quote
elizabethf Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 I'm hoping to go but probably a weekend date as I am burning through my annual leave way too fast lol Quote

I remember the year I 'celebrated' the new year driving on my own down the A417.So whilst sometimes having to book a day off if I want to do something in the week can be a pain, I'm pretty content with it Four day weeks doesn't sound too shabby though, I must admit.

That sounds like hell! While its a 7 days a week job my working pattern isn't that bad to be honest we do work xmas eve till about 8, bank holidays are volunteers then compulsory allocation if they don't get the staff boxing day and new years day is strictly volunteers only The bonus with a 4 day week for me is that every 4 weeks I get 6 days off in a row Quote
Gin Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Yup Monday 18th for us Hotel all booked already The 18th is a Sunday we are going down on the 18th and staying over night and going on the Monday but you probably guessed that I think Jay was thinking Monday for us too, I'll double check with him but would be cool to grab lunch if we are all there on the same day (P.s. We'll likely have Glorian too!) Quote

Snod Blatter Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Im going this Saturday.I struck lucky and won some free tickets! Got any spare? Quote
gogs01 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Staying in Oldbury on Monday night (19th), going to the show on Tuesday from 10:00 until fatigue sets in, then driving home (a six or seven hour drive). Quote
elizabethf Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Im going this Saturday.I struck lucky and won some free tickets! Got any spare? Lol, sadly just two, the second spoken for! Quote
SometimesSansEngine Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 Well, I think I finally have to accept I'm not winning any tickets from any of the competitions I've entered, [mention]Magpie84[/mention] has been told what day off she has next week so looks like we'll be at the NEC discovering lots of people telling us we really need to buy stuff we never knew we needed on Tuesday Quote
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 Wednesday looks like the most likely day for me. Looking forward to it got a lot of bikes I want to sit on Quote
SometimesSansEngine Posted November 14, 2018 Posted November 14, 2018 £1.50 fulfilment fee? Hate when companies do that. I bet I'll have to print off an e-ticket or something, which then makes me moan out loud at my computer about what exactly they're fulfilling.Then like all good Brits, I'll just pay it anyway and suck it up.
