Manchester and North West 2019

Hi folks, as last nights hangovers are beginning to subside a little ,here is some food for thought to get the grey matter functioning again,

Monthly meets at the Lockgate Coffee house based on first Sunday of the month principle, except where stated otherwise:

January ~ Sunday 6th
February ~ Sunday 3rd
March~ Sunday 3rd
April ~ Sunday 7th
May ~ weekender 3rd to 5th
June ~ Sunday 2nd
July ~ Sunday 7th
August ~ Sunday 4th
September~Sunday 1st
October ~ Sunday 6th
November~ Sunday 3rd
December ~Sunday 1st

Significant dates for the diaries:-

Manchester Bike Show ~ 23rd & 24th March
BSB at Oulton Park ~ 4th to 6th May
Lincs Italian Bike Festival ~ 15th June

Now here is the thinking bit, sometimes the weather prevents a good old ride out, sometimes its good to do something a bit different, here are four ideas for potential visits........... please let me know if they are of interest so I can make contact and give some approximate numbers. Likewise if they are of no interest let me know so I can think of some other cunning plans !!

In no particular order:

Maxton~ Suspension specialists, near Helsby.
Renthal~ Bars,sprockets and engineering, Stockport
Kriega~ luggage systems,Deeside
Davida~ helmets, Birkenhead

Now I am off for a rest ! Hope to see you on Sunday for a post christmas catch up, looking forward to another great year,

Cunning plans, Baldrick, always up for a visit to somewhere interesting!

See everyone Sunday, at the moment the weather looks ok to ride to the Lock Gate

OK it's that time of the month for our Sunday meet at the Lock Gate cafe and the weather forecast don't look to bad so dust off the bike and blow the cobwebs
away unfortunately I'm restricted to four wheels and my walking stick...

......notice I didn't say cancelled !

So after much consultation earlier January 6th clashes with too many other commitments members have, myself included I am afraid!so tomorrow's meet is OFF.

I have mailed Laura,what's App'd and texted everyone should be aware. Fireman Sam , good to hear from you again, I have sent you a PM mate, watch this space for the revised date.

Look forward to a catch up again soon,

That suits me at the moment Mike as still trying to progress without the stick, Pete emailed to say that he to couldn't make this Sunday either ...so please keep us informed...

[ChrisC2925]

Don't Whatsapp me Mike, it's still disappeared without trace off the phone!!

Ahhh , that will be the delete button, pretty effective I think! I thought you put another penny in the meter a couple of weeks ago? Thought you were quiet Friday

[ChrisC2925]

Looks like the delete button has removed it from the internet as well! Didn't know it was so effective

[buzzbomb]

Being the olde fart that I am I never got my head round Whatsapp

so are we on for Sunday...

Yes mate on for Sunday, Mark is picking me up at 9.30 assuming the weather is as bad as it is now, should get there by 10.15 ish.

[ChrisC2925]

I'll pick you up if the weather isn't good, Geoff
