Korben Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 No problem mate. I think to play it safe I will say 3pm. Quote
Sheep_onna_Bandit Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Sounds good to me mate.That could buy me some time to divert to MFN after leaving the office in the car and stick the tent up before going home.Looking forward to this, big stylee! Quote
JoshTimmins Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Looking forward to this, big stylee! your not the only one! ;pJoshx Quote
Sheep_onna_Bandit Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Oh, and Phil, when you come this year, don't forget to bring a lump strainer to put over the bottom of your lid. It'll make life soooooo much easier on Saturday morning! Quote
Sheep_onna_Bandit Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 I forgot to ask, what's the latest attendee list looking like peeps? Quote
JoshTimmins Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 hmm anyone ridin up from Herts/cambs way? i need some guidance as to where t is (providin i passed my test)Joshx Quote
Korben Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 hmm anyone ridin up from Herts/cambs way? i need some guidance as to where t is (providin i passed my test)Joshx Hi JoshI am currently working on a load of meeting points. Basically you will have to just get fairly close such as Matlock, Mcdonalds on A38, Cat & Fiddle, Ikea in Nottingham and a couple of others which are all really easy to find where someone who knows the route in will meet you there. After that it will just be a matter of following the person in.Should be posting something up in a couple of weeks to show meeting points. TBH mate you will be able to easily get within a mile of the place... It's that last mile though that's a total sod!!! Quote
mojobanana Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 hmm anyone ridin up from Herts/cambs way? i need some guidance as to where t is (providin i passed my test)JoshxHi Josh, I'll be riding up from MK to Dan's (to collect a tent), then onto MFN, so you could come across to me if that's any use? I could meet you somewhere or I can give you my address. Yet to confirm leaving times, but will be mid-afternoon I would have thought. I've never been to MFN, but I think Dan has. Quote
Guest akey Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Just a quick point for all those who have never been to MFN.Dont worry about exact location, there are a couple of easy places to find, pull over and call us, we will then come pick you up.We did the same thing last year and there will be a few of us there on Fri, kitted up and ready to go, we will give out contact numbers etc nearer the date and let you know where we will meet you.The easiest RV is just off Junct 26 of the M1 (A610 to Matlock) as you come off the Mway and onto the A610 there is a layby and we pick people up from there.More details etc nearer the time.

Sheep_onna_Bandit Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Anyone intending to travel in from the west side of the country, that being north-west, south west, west or Welsh Wales, I will be available at a very easy spot to find to lead in as many as turn up at around 3pm on the Friday.Obviously Stevie (Korben) is getting involved in co-ordinating this, but all I can say is that it's a nice, pleasant run into Shipley Gate from Markeaton MacDognuts Carpark (at the A38/A52 junction just north of Derby City Centre). The McDognuts place is to the north West of the island - click for bird's eye view and you'll get a better view of it!http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&F ... &encType=1For sme reason, the map centres away from the meet=place, but click bird's eye view and follow the wee square as it zooms in. MacDognuts is the building to the left of the car park as you view it.We'll avoid the main Markeaton Park Car Park across the road as we're likely to get arrested for being doggers :lmao:Probable route from Markeaton:A38 Queensway (heading Northwest) to the A38 Abbey Hill,Off at Kilburn (near the Denby Pottery, for all you fans of earthenware plates and suchlike) through Horsley Woodhouse to Smalley (where Leon and Ron Haslam live). Off through Heanor, and onto the main drag from there to Shipley Gate.Total mileage 15 point odd miles.For anyone intending to come this way and follow me in, the Camera Mafia isn't too prevalent in the area but there are some bits quite heavily covered by Mr. GATSO and friends! BEWARE!Seriously looking forward to it the nooo!Will repost this one again closer to the date peeps. Quote
JoshTimmins Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 wicked thanks guyslets hope i got my test sorted and out the way by then! Joshx Quote

tinkerbell Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 VickiWill try and get a babbysitter sorted for the weekend.Whats the latest date for confirming & making payment please?ThanksTracy Quote
Susieque Posted May 18, 2009 Author Posted May 18, 2009 Hi Tracey Obviously we'd like people to buy their tickets asap so we've got an idea of numbers to discuss with Lee at MFN. But If you can't organise things until nearer the time then that'll be ok. I'll make sure I hang onto a couple of tickets for you just in case. It'll be great if you can join us!! Quote
Guest Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Also... im bringing my kids with me... so there is that option Quote
tinkerbell Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Cheers Sue & Vicki,Will try and get something sorted ASAP.Could have brought Tom with us but we have no car now, he's to small to go on the back of the bike & too big to squeeze into the top box Quote
Susieque Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Rally tickets have been sent out to those people I have addresses for, except for those that I'll see this weekend.If yours hasn't arrived by next week, please let me know Quote
Sheep_onna_Bandit Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Mine didn't arrive by next week - I got it this morning! Quote
