Hi Chris,
Talking to some of the guys in the club, and hopefully we can swell the numbers on the day.

[Chris Jessop]

Thanks - if you would like a dedicated display area for Monsters just let me know nearer the day and we'll arrange it for you.

Reminder that we're fast approaching UKBEG's main event on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May. Full details for the event appear above.

In addition to Buell and Italian motorcycles we have military vehicles, a M36 Jackson Tank Destroyer plus P-51 Mustang and B17 Flying Fortress flying displays.

[Mr Gazza]

.....Looking forward to seeing a live tank fired...Do they use a big Trebuchet?

Are we having our corner again with the banner flying?

[Chris Jessop]

Get there early to set your area up, say around 9.30 am ish, and you're good to go. We'll direct all Monsters to you when they arrive.

[Grumpy]

Might be an idea to start a list of possible attendees!

Grumpy.

Regular visitors to this event will be familiar with the set up but if it’s your first visit here’s how we run it:

Upon arrival all motorcycles will be directed to a separate entrance which is accessed around the back of the main hanger. That’s where Jane and I will be located; riders and pillion passengers pay £8.00 per person. Part of this money goes to Emma’s Charity, the Papworth Hospital Cystic Fibrosis Unit.

Please try to have the correct money available, it makes things a lot easier for us and speeds up your entry. Thank you.....

If you’re not coming on two wheels you’ll have to park your vehicle in the main car park. The admission price for the general public is £12.00 per person, so after you've parked up don’t walk down to the public entrance where you’ll have to pay full price, walk around to our motorcycle entrance where you’ll pay £8.00.

Timetable for Monday 25th May:
11.00am- Lancaster taxi-run
12.00 noon- LIVE M36 Jackson Tank Firing and pyrotechnics
12.15pm- Sarah-Jane Performance
12.45pm- Remembrance Service in the Chapel
1.30pm- Lancaster taxi- run
1.50pm- LIVE M36 Jackson Tank Firing and pyrotechnics
2.00pm- Mustang flying display
2.30pm- B17 flying display
3.00pm- BBMF Lancaster flying display (replaced with Dakota if BBMF Lanc is U/S)
3.15pm- Sarah-Jane Performance
4.00pm- Lancaster taxi-run

Hoping to catch some of you there.

[Mr Gazza]

Just back from the show.

Thanks to Chris Jessop for inviting us again, and for the warm welcome on the gate.
I really enjoyed the day. The Warbirds and the Tank popping off were brilliant attractions.

I enjoyed the Bike Shed show on Saturday, but all the bikes I saw today had mudguards and got there under thier own steam......Not a fasion victim in sight...:chuckle:

Met lots of UKMOCers and there were quite a few Monsters in the line up (which did get carded!) I even managed to card one parked next to mine, that turned out to be from Norfolk!

All in all a great day out. Shame it was a cold ride home..:worried:.. But hey! June is coming. Hope to see a good turn out at Wheels Next The Sea on June 21st....:mand:
